Stellenbosch University is an important community landmark as well as a place of higher learning. Let your mind wander back to those school days as you explore the grounds.

This modern university is often on the itineraries of visitors to Stellenbosch Central. But Stellenbosch University isn't the only drawcard in the area. Spier Wine Estate, De Zalze Golf Club, and Lanzerac Wine Estate are some other worthwhile sights close by.

A great experience. This is a house turned to Hotel. It was a unique experience and a quite pleasant one. The location and the views are incredible. The service was very customizable and personal. And the hotel it’s self is an art gallery. I recommend.
