Summerwood Guest House

We had a wonderful stay at this charming guest house located in a beautifully restored old mansion. The interior is stunning, with every detail carefully thought out, and the garden is simply gorgeous. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade and enjoyed a room with an incredible view of the mountains. The guest house is situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood, and we felt very secure leaving our car in the private parking area inside the property. Breakfasts were delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Our overall impression of the city was definitely enhanced thanks to this lovely place. Highly recommended!

This was a good stay, in particular because Fiona, the proprietor was so very kind and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure that we had everything we needed. She had little things on hand like chargers for those of us who forgot our adaptors. She offered other rooms if we had wanted them but we were happy with what we had. Everything was beautifully clean.

We loved Summerwood Guest House. We have been traveling South Africa for one month and stayed in many places and Summerwood has been one of our favorites and has a nice homey feel. Breakfast is not self serve but has a wonderful menu with many options . The granola with yogurt and fruit is so good. The staff are very friendly. There is an honor beverage refrigerator with price list. Baked goods every afternoon with a coffees and tea. Many loungers around the pool, a good place to have a glass of wine. Stellenbosch is an easy walk up the road but Ubers are easy to get. Lonely Planet Travel book recommended Summerwood and I couldn’t agree with them more. Fiona the owner is very warm and friendly and we can see she has attention to the details with managing her guest house. We would highly recommend staying here.

Summerwood was a fantastic escape in Stellenbosch. It was a serene property and the rooms were clean and comfortable. It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to the center of town through the university area. The breakfast was perfect and Fiona was so kind and helpful. I would definitely go back!

Summerwood Guest House is a wonderful place to stay! The rooms are lovely and comfortable, the setting is relaxing with beautiful gardens to look out on, but my favorite was the incredible breakfast we had every morning. Fiona, your host, will help with arrangements for your stay and trip. There is the finest attention to detail on every aspect of your stay! My only regret is I don’t live closer to go more often. You won’t be disappointed with a stay at Summerwood G.H.

This was the third time I have stayed at Summerwood and I will definitely be returning again in the future. Fiona and Paulet are the friendliest, most welcoming and amazing hosts. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and furnished, the beds are probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in and the bed linen is high quality. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean with very good quality towels. The whole place is beautifully kept and so clean you cannot fault anything. The breakfast is carefully and thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients and extremely tasty. The service is second to none and I would wholeheartedly recommend Summerwood to anyone. This time I visited with a group of family members and they were also impressed by the standards and we all had a wonderfully relaxing stay. Thank you once again Fiona and Paulet.

This guest house is highly recommended. Nice rooms, big nice garden with pool. Free hire bikes. Coffee and snacks 24/7. If you fancy some wine there is an honesty bar. Safe and nice neighbourhood. Great breakfast and last but not least a very nice host. We will definitely come back.

I am so glad that I stayed at Summerwood. Fiona is a fantastic host and so helpful from long before I arrived until I left - thank you. Summerwood is a lovely guest house with beautifully proportioned and decorated bedrooms, a cosy, comfortable lounge with complementary drinks and snacks, a lovely bright dining room and delicious breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay.
