Oude Werf Hotel

One of those boutique hotels that one is constantly searching for when travelling. Quietly charming, soft historic luxury, light & airy and situated in a quaint Stellenbosch street with access to excellent cafes and restaurants. All the staff are incredibly dedicated to making your stay extra special. From the valet to breakfast staff. Good breakfast variety and much appreciated, a proper barista to make your speciality coffee. We spent one night there in a well appointed room and would not hesitate to return next time we are in Stellenbosch

Excellent location in the heart of the town but designed in such away that you feel you are secluded from the bustle of life surrounding the hotel. ||Travelled to the area with my wife and stayed at the hotel for two nights. Hotel is beautiful and is both luxurious and homely at the same time. Staff were amazing, particularly “Hilton” who was the valet Parker/porter who provided the warmest of welcome. Rental car was parked securely off the road in an underground car park during our stay for no additional cost ||Room matched the rest of the hotel and was immaculate in its presentation and cleanliness. The room was quiet and we were not disturbed at all by the comings and goings of staff and other customers. The. Hotel has a lovely courtyard where breakfast is served and a perfectly adequate outside pool. ||The hotel was only a 12 min taxi ride from the main vineyards for an amazing days wine tasting.

Really nice hotel for first timers in Stellenbosch. We stayed here for three nights, room was really cosy, bed was huge and really comfy. Location was great with lots of options for food within walking distance. Everyone from front desk to restaurant was really polite, housekeeping didnt miss a beat, our room was immaculate every day. Really enjoyed our stay here!

Very traditional hotel values. Valet parking and reception staff who will look after you personally. We had a road facing room which whilst spacious I felt the inclusion of a desk across the room to be rather large. Not much space between the end of the bed and the sharp corners! |The breakfast and dinners that we had were excellent.

Nice and very central place to explore the town. The rooms (we had a Plenty room) aren’t particularly big, but comfortable. The breakfast service was excellent and the staff friendly throughout the property. With the central location, everything was in easy walking distance. The car is parked for you and magically reappears at the front door at checkout time, without having to ask. The water temperature in our shower kept changing, so we had to shower with care. The sunloungers at the pool are clearly at the end of their lifecycle and should be replaced, so that you don’t feel the frame sticking in your back.

We stayed six nights at this central Stellenbosch hotel.|Our room (317) overlooked the pool and was well laid out, bright and airy. Separate bath tub and walk in rain shower and plenty of storage space.|The balcony is ideal for relaxing and housekeeping was exemplary with daily replenishment of water and tea and coffee.|Service was friendly throughout and your car is valet parked in the underground garage.|Breakfast is excellent with a very wide choice.|An ideal spot for a stay in central Stellenbosch and one we will return to.

Our first time in Stellenbosch and we picked Oude Werf for its locations, reviews and facilities. Wasn’t the cheapest place around but the hotel and staff were worth it. I wasn’t expecting the hotel to be as big as it was when we arrived. The decor and architecture is beautiful everywhere you look from the lobby to the rooms. Everything was in rooms that you could imagine, and I liked the touch of the steamer instead of an iron and ironing board. Great big bottles of water, not tiny things and lots of extra touches like bathroom dimmer lights, heated towel rails etc. Staff were super friendly and you often found yourself saying morning or hello to people about 6 times before you left the hotel! Would definitely stop here again. Thank you for a nice stay.

We stayed in Oude Werf during our honeymoon. We absolutely loved the hotel - it was stunning, with beautiful art throughout. The team could not have done enough for us. We were arriving late and Danine, who was easy to get in touch with via the Oude Werf WhatsApp, organised for us to have dinner after the kitchen had closed once we arrived. The food was incredible, both then and at breakfast, where it was made fresh to order. I also have coeliac disease and they could not have been more accommodating. Shout out also to Derek who was the nicest person to speak to and gave us so many helpful tips. 10/10 recommend staying here - we had the best time, thank you!!
