This is just the dreamiest little hidden gem in Stellenbosch and we are simply head over heels for this place. It is our third time visiting the Summerwood - which should say enough already but I am happy to share more (also you can refer to our last visit in Jan2020 and yes, it is just as good if not better!) The guesthouse is situated in a very nice neighbourhood approx. 1.3km from the center of Stellenbosch. It is a nice little 15-20min walk and we really did enjoy to „escape“ the buzziness of the center and get to a calmer area. If we recount correctly they have 8 guest rooms, so not too many, which too is a great plus for coziness and privacy. The garden is very pretty and relaxing, having sun until approx. 6pm during high summer time and a nice sized pool for a refresher. The rooms are just as beautiful as you can see on the pictures and you feel at home and relaxed immediately! Each room has its own charme and we sure do have our most favourite :-) (I am sorry, not going to share this one)y Breakfast is served all fresh and simply is heaven (think toasted fresh sourdough bread with avocado and egg/salmon etc., or great granola topped with fresh fruits) ! Service wise let me just say this: head over heels 1000 times! The owner Paulette and Fiona are angels on earth with the best recommendations, especially when it comes to food places and wine estates to visit - so don’t be shy and ask them :-) But generally speaking the team at Summerwood consists of 100% sweet, lovely people that really made our time special. So thanks again, dear Summerwood, it has been a real pleasure and we will see each other again rather sooner than later <3
