Overview

Boasting an enviable location in the heart of Stellenbosch, this heritage-listed hotel combines boutique luxury with a rich history. Positioned on the spot where a 17th-century thatched church once stood, it has been beautifully renovated to fuse the town’s signature Cape Dutch architecture with modern comfort and excellent service. Beyond the 58 beautifully finished rooms, guests can enjoy a charming restaurant that celebrates local produce, an elegant lounge serving Afternoon Tea, and a lovely courtyard pool. They can also stroll out to visit the many art galleries and museums in town, or head into the Cape Winelands to sample some of South Africa’s finest vintages.

Climate

From October through to April, there can be high rainfall in Kruger which results in beautiful, lush green landscapes and amazing birdwatching but can make game viewing a little trickier due to the dense vegetation. As you enter the dry season from May, water sources dry up bringing out the wildlife and May through September are the best months for safari with August and September generally being peak time. Summer Safari’s (our winter) can also be a great time to go though as morning drives are not as chilly and during the day you can make the most of the pools at your reserve, late November/December is also when a lot of the young animals are born. Temperatures will be fairly warm during the day and chilly through the night and early morning. May is also a great time to visit KwaZulu Natal and ideal for visiting the Drakensberg mountains or for a beach stay in the region. As mentioned earlier, whale watching is at its best from July through November, and November is still off peak.
