The Robertson Small Boutique Hotel

We recently had an amazing stay at The Robertson Small Boutique Hotel, and we cannot recommend it highly enough! The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. One standout moment was when we experienced a chilly evening due to the air conditioning not warming our room sufficiently. After informing the operations manager, they promptly placed a freestanding heating unit in our room while we were at dinner. When we returned, our room was toasty and warm—such a thoughtful gesture! Additionally, I accidentally left some jewelry in the bedside drawer. The general manager reached out to my husband, sent pictures of what was left behind, and offered to send it back to us or arrange for us to collect it. This level of service truly exceeded our expectations. Overall, our experience was absolutely wonderful, making it a perfect five-star weekend. I would definitely return and recommend The Robertson Small Hotel to anyone looking for a delightful stay!

Second stay at this fabulous winelands gem--and even better than the first: this lovely boutique hotel truly ticks all the boxes. Rooms are spacious, bright and supremely comfortable; ours opened out to a private terrace and sparkling pool (sadly too chilly to enjoy this time). Public areas are warm and inviting (love a crackling fire in winter!) and the whole team bend over backwards to make your stay the best it can be. On-site restaurant is intimate, cosy and just the place for a romantic dinner for 2. Perfectly located in the best end of town, in easy walking distance of everything, the Small is the place to stay in Robertson--highly recommend. We'll be back!

after two years I returned to the 'Small' for a few nights and the hotel has just gotten better. The moment you enter the compound there is a sense of tranquility emerging, the rooms are superbly equipped and decorated, the revitalized restaurant serves great food, the service is super friendly, overall it is truly the place to stay in Robertson.||There is plenty to do and see in the area which is becoming fast an attractive alternative to the tried and tested winelands around Stellenbosch. It is new and trendy, restaurants and wineries are busy, great to see such positive vibe.

It’s incredibly rare to arrive somewhere with high expectations, only to have them exceeded — but that was exactly our experience at The Robertson Small Hotel. From start to finish, our stay was nothing short of exceptional. Even before our arrival, the reservations team took note of our special requests and ensured everything was perfectly arranged. Upon arrival, we were greeted with the warmest welcome — a lovely touch that immediately made us feel at home. Every staff member was kind and intuitive. They seemed genuinely invested in making our stay enjoyable, and it showed in every interaction. The food was another highlight. The breakfast spread was both generous and delicious, enhanced by an à la carte menu. One unforgettable moment came at check-out when we discovered that our car had been washed and polished by the grounds staff — an unexpected gesture that left us so touched. A heartfelt thank you to Walter, Peter, Monique, Sthandwa, and every other member of the team (I wish I could name each of you!). You made our stay truly memorable, and I left with the warmest, most satisfied heart. This hotel is the epitome of value for money, combining luxury, charm, and the kind of personal attention you rarely find. I cannot wait to return. Until next time!
