Oude Werf Hotel

Absolutely outstanding stay at Oud Werf — 10/10. The attention to detail throughout the hotel is exceptional and really sets it apart. Breakfast is truly to die for and was a highlight of our stay. The location couldn’t be better: perfectly positioned for exploring Stellenbosch, with easy access to fantastic restaurants, cafés, and shops right on your doorstep. Everything about the experience felt thoughtful, refined, and effortless. Highly recommended — we would not hesitate to return. Staff were professional and very helpful for any matter. Our room was large, luxurious and very comfortable with a great balcony.

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 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!!

The staff here are all absolutely wonderful people. They couldn’t do enough for you. It was our ten year anniversary and we had a lovely bottle of wine in our room. Derek is so helpful for booking tours and organising excursions/restaurant bookings. Thank you so much for the amazing stay! The hotel is right in the heart of stellenbosch in a beautiful building. Room was spotless with great housekeeping services. Breakfast was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Had Eggs Benedict for breakfast at Oude Werf Hotel, and it was top class. Perfect, fresh Hollandaise was served and the Salmon rolled into roses on the English muffin was the perfect thickness, texture and temperature. We had freshly squeezed orange juice to accompany it and it was great! Would definitely recommend. Our only regret is that we didn't do the full breakfast buffet as it looked absolutely amazing!
