If you have a vehicle you will be ok otherwise I do not recommend. It is extremely difficult to get Uber to that location compared to if you’re staying in the city center. The property has two secured gates which you have to message the owner to open for you to leave the premises and re-enter which is very inconvenient. The complimentary wine however was a nice touch.
Lovely tranquil accommodation. Hosts most accommodating and arranged transport for a nearby event we were attending. Food also great. We had requested an evening meal, which was home cooked excellence.
The baths are great if you get a room with a bath. Eggs a little under done but a good portion for price. Was sad that the pool wasn't blue at the time. I enjoyed the tennis court, unfortunately the racquets and balls provided aren't good quality, but still glad it was provided. Close to town. Friendly cats on property. Beautiful scenery.

Average stay
Big grounds with tennis court, however, some disappointing experiences. The hot water was only switched on at 11pm on the first night. Was excited to take photos and swim in the pool as advertised but when we got there, it was as green as grass. I booked a room advertised in the description with a bath, but sadly there was no bath in our room. They first said it wasn't advertised that way but then they saw that they were in error. They accommodated us with a different room for 1 night saying that they were fully booked so could only use the other room for 1 night but to find out afterwards that they weren't fully booked was disappointing as it was then unnecessary to pack up after 1 night. Kitchen foods were either over cooked or under cooked. Overall it was enjoyable however some negatives that have stuck.
We had a wonderful stay at Slaley Country House. Our flight arrived late and we could only check in at 21:00, but that did not stop them from still providing excellent service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone travelling to and from Stellenbosch. Thank you Slaley for a wonderful stay.
One of my most favourite places to stay. Staff wonderful. ESME and Helen world class professionalism, knowledge, helpfulness, friendliness and willingness.

Spacious rooms with great bathroom and large comfortable beds.
Very private tranquil swimming pool.
Made to feel very welcome by the owners and staff.
The location is great for visiting the Stellenbosch vineyards.
Lovely surprise. At times you do not know what to believe in reviews or photos, as I was with this place.
Pleasantly surprised! The rooms are above the pool area separate entrance by night and open to lobby and dining area by day.
Rooms are connected by a ‘boardwalk’ and with windows in the back with foliage! Shower was amazing with soaker tub in the 3 Pinotage room (advertises on hotels.com)
Fantastic touch: makeup towelettes in jar!
Breakfast was beautiful and fresh with a tasty cheese platter. In addition you had a cooked to order breakfast with fresh eggs and strip bacon if you choose.
Italian coffee and machine
Esme was full of energy and ready to offer whatever assistance needed. She made great suggestions for Delheim and Moraties as well as Asara for a great evening view!
We truly appreciated her sincere honesty and kindness. We nearly rearranged our 3 day trip to go back back but it was just too much driving. Next time we will be stay and staying longer’
Het guesthouse is erg mooi en de kamers zijn prachtig en ruim. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Wij dachten dat het restaurant en de wijnmakerij bij het guesthouse zaten maar dat is niet zo. De wijnmakerij en restaurant zitten op een andere locatie; wel dichtbij maar het restaurant gaat om 17.00 uur dicht. Je kunt er dus niet eten ‘s avonds en dat was jammer...
Prachtige accommodatie. Ongrlooflijk onthaal. Vriendelijke gastvrouw die constant klaar staat met tips en tricks. We mochten later uitchecken. Prachtig domein, prachtige kamers, heerlijk ontbijt. M.a.w een echye aanrader!
Local incrível, quarto de sonhos, a proprietária maravilhosa, super atenciosa, deixou inclusive a gente fazer um churrasco no Jardim, amei tudo, café da manhã perfeito, queria ter podido ficar mais tempo, ideal para casais.
Excellent accueil. Personnel convivial, souriant. Bons conseils pour visiter les alentours. Cadre charmant et calme. Chambre familiale agréable. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!
