Perfect location, beautiful rooms, but above all the staff were amazing - especially Derrick (concierge). He had several spot on suggestions for our group. I will definitely stay here again. And I will have Derrick set up all details / meals.

This was the worst hotel we stayed in during our trip to South Africa. Oude Werf is overpriced, shabby, dirty, and in dire need of a full refurbishment. Our room design was flat out awful; an example of which was that the only place to hang towels was above the toilet pan. Disgusting and unhygienic. I wish we'd booked elsewhere instead of wasting our last night here. The central location is the only positive, but it just makes the place a tourist trap.

Travelled with family
The location is good. Room was clean and breakfast area staff were friendly. However front desk staff were lacking in hospitality. Reccomendations for drivers were grossly expensive for the short tours we requested. A 30 minute round trip was approx 90 dollars canadian. The driver did not wait for us. There was an issue with hot water for seversl says. As well with power sharing the generator at the facility was not adequate to run AC.i would not stay here again. Upon leaving i had to request compensation for the water issue. This is something that should have been offered. I found the lack of hospitality very odd for South Africa.

Very good stay in Stellenbosch
Very friendly staff and extremely central, close to all shops and restaurants. Excellent valet parking and lovely breakfast. Corridors to the room could do with a bit of sprucing up, the odd skirting board missing and plain white walls which make the place look a bit ordinary. Perhaps they’re mid renovation so not a big deal but some improvements would make a massive difference and create a much better impression on first arriving. Lovely place though.
