"Three of my colleagues and I stayed at Roosenwijn during a business trip and what an amazing experience. The staff are super friendly and the rooms are extremely comfortable and cosy. The entire atmosphere of the place is relaxed and warm, exactly what you need when you need to rise early for meetings and return tired after a long day. We will be back!"

The pool is in a central courtyard and is idyllic. Pool towels available. All in all a super place to stay. We were here 4 nights while visiting the wineries."

"We enjoyed our short stay at Roosenwijn as it was ideally located for touring the Wine Region and even day trips into Cape Town. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and the facilities were good. Our room was a little noisey with road traffic but we were usually too tired after a busy day and always had a good nights sleep. I would stay here again if revisiting Stellenbosch and Cape Town."


"Our Stay in Stellelbosh"

(Ireland) Carol Ashmore

"Lovely room and the upstairs Africa room is wonderful. Use of Internet a great advantage. A shower would have been wonderful, as baths really not great in that sort of climate - very hot.

On the whole a very enjoyable stay."


"Stay at Roosenwijn Feb 2006"

(United Kingdom) Moira McGregor

"We thought the house was beautiful, very clean, friendly staff, lovely breakfast. You can walk to the village easily. The air conditioning was wonderful, we needed it because the temperature was 39 degrees. The swimming pool was small but refreshing. The surrounding area is very beautiful."


"Enjoyed our Stay"

(South Africa) Karen Naude

"We enjoyed our stay, we would stay there again and recommend it to friends, the staff was very friendly, professional and helpful."

"Roosenwijn Guesthouse lived up to our expectations, and some! Besides the excellent location, within walking distance to the town, we were so impressed with our beautiful room, with its quality furnishings, luxurious bathroom, superior bed linen, towels, etc.
The only extra feature I would have liked in the room is plunger coffee, so I chose to drink tea in the mornings instead. The host, Hennie, was incredibly friendly and helpful, booking a lunch for us and advising us of nice places to visit.

We were thrilled when he presented us with a bottle of champagne for our engagement. The receptionist also booked an emergency dentist appointment for us. The dining room is also magnificent and we thoroughly enjoyed the tasty array of breakfast foods. All in all, a fantastic experience, we will cherish forever."

"We were there for two nights and was a very pleasant stay. We were treated very well by the owners and the place is really amazing and nice to stay, very quiet and in a priviledged area. Thanks."


"Rosenwijn Guest House, Stellenbosch"

"Lovely guest house, worth every one of its 4 stars for standard of accommodation (unlike many others we have stayed at). Lovely, bright and very spacious rooms, designed with the needs of guests in mind. While in the heart of the town, just a stone's throw from restaurants, cafes, museums and the botanical gardens, the guesthouse is in a very safe and quiet spot guaranteeing a good night's sleep.

But the real jewel in the crown of the Rosenwijn is its staff who bent over backwards to help us enjoy our stay. For example, a simple request to the receptionist for details of one local tourist attraction resulted in a 'pack' of suitable options, tailored to our family, each carefully researched on the Internet and with price, opening times etc highlighted. Strongly recommended."


"Priceless gem"

(South Africa) Mr Allie

"Stunning breakfast in the surrounds of antique furnishing and friendly staff made my stay worth its while !"


"Centrally Located: Well Appointed"

(United Kingdom) Mrs Jones

"Big rooms, large guest relaxation room and terrace. The guest house is only 5 minutes walk into the centre of town, but is located in a quiet location. The rooms are very well appointed and the breakfast was very good. "


"Very nice guesthouse!"

(Switzerland) anonymous

"Very nice accommodation for those who like old and charming buildings but nicely renovated, walking distance from city centre and restaurants, excellent customer service provided on where to go and where to eat. Rooms are large, nicely furnished and clean. A place to recommend!"

"Having toured most of South Africa and after many B&B’s I easily rate the Roosenwijn as the best BY FAR!
1. The staff - from reception to kitchen and laundry staff and are really friendly and helpful. All made me feel welcome and at home. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
2. It’s in a lovely and safe inner part of town (with the botanical gardens around the corner).
3. The atmosphere is superb: a beautiful old home with an old world homely touch. I stayed in the newer building which displayed the same approach. Has the best lounge ever. It has a great and most relaxing 'African' ambience - and with free internet.
4. I found their attention to detail unsurpassed - from great comfortable beds to good quality toiletries and lovely breakfasts.
I do a lot of travelling - though chosen accidentally I couldn't have picked a better place. This B&B has it all! Thanks for a great week."


"Wunderschönes Gästehaus in toller Stadt"

(Germany) Mr Aschkowski

"Das Roosenwijn Guesthouse kann ich jedem empfehlen, ich hatte zwar als Alleinreisender ein sehr kleines Einzelzimmer, das aber völlig ausreichend war.

Das Frühstück war perfekt mit allem, was man sich wünschen kann. Sehr leckeres warme Gerichte (Eier in jeder Form) und Fruchtsalat.

We can recommend Roosenwijn Guesthouse to everyone. I had a small single room as I was travelling on my own – but it was sufficient. The breakfast was perfect and had everything you could wish for. Warm meals (eggs of every kind) and fruit salad."

"Rosewijn is a really great guest house right in the centre of Stellenbosch. It is not too big and has a very nice atmosphere. The room was something else - very spacious, light and airy. The service was excellent and breakfast offered something for everyone. The location makes it perfect for strolls into the town centre for dinner or for visiting the local sights. Or you could just take a drive to one of the many local vineyards and return to a relaxing afternoon by the pool."

The Guesthouse itself is very peaceful with the decor of rooms pleasant and tasteful. Despite the central location we were not disturbed by street noise. The breakfast is of high standard with friendly staff attending us.

Indeed, so so pleased were we with the place that we considered staying around there for the afternoon to savour its delights. The dining room is small but the breakfast was good, so no-one was complaining.

An altogether delightful place. "
