Summerwood Guest House - Stellenbosch

We could not have chosen a better accommodation location for our first resting place where we spent our first four days. The house is delightfully situated in one of Stellenbosch’s best residential areas but within easy walking distance of central Stellenbosch. Our room was a good size, the bed was very large and comfortable and the room had all we needed. However, you can see all this on their website, http://www.summerwood.co.za/ .

The key to the stay was the owner, Ann Baret, and her complete team who made all guests feel so very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They also know the area in great detail and keep restaurant lists with menus, maps of wineries but even more importantly they can give you up to date information on where and what is currently good. Ann has an excellent knowledge of the wineries, their wines and frequently their winemakers and she has personally visited many. She is ably assisted and abetted by her senior colleagues Anneline and Theresa. We thank them all for giving our tour such a good start.
