Oude Werf Hotel - Stellenbosch

This is the oldest hotel in South Africa, offering a period inn with a charming lounge and bar opening on to poolside gardens. Dine in the restaurant and try local dishes and vintages, or make the most of the location, with 150 wine estates dotted around the famous local area of Stellenbosch.

Oude Werf Hotel is an award-winning property, with a rich history of former explorers, statesmen and more visiting since its opening in 1802. Blending modern luxury and historic touches, you can enjoy vine-covered dining while indulging in Cape classics.

Set close to South Africa's second oldest town and on the doorstep of the famous wine region, you can even travel to Cape Town, which is an easy day trip, just 45 minutes away. Free private parking is available for your convenience. Or take in the local history with museums, arts, historic sites and more situated nearby.

Your accommodation provides the latest fittings and most are centred around the poolside gardens or in the historic house. The bathroom provides double basins and the rooms are cooled for your comfort. Relax after a day of exploring, with a glass of your recently acquired wine, in the seating area in your private room.

Cool off with a dip in the outdoor pool, then enjoy a fine dining meal at the hotel restaurant.

Staff are on hand to help you maximise your stay, organising wine trips, guided walks of Stellenbosch and more.
