I had a great 4 day stay at Aan Dorp Guesthouse. A very nice personal touch, great breakfast every morning, friendly owners and staff. Not to mention how close it is to everything else in the area. The security was very impressive, the rooms modern and a very nice bathroom. I will definitely return when in Stellenbosch again.

I had a wonderful stay of 6 nights at Aan Dorpstraat Guest House in March 2013. Both before my arrival and during my stay the owners were very helpful regarding questions I had about my stay and activities related to it. They were very friendly, well organised and always making sure I had everything I needed. The room was beautiful... More

We stayed two nights in Aan Dorpstraat during our 3 weeks holiday in South Africa and we enjoyed every minute of our stay (it was way too short, so we will have to come back). The hosts Gwen and Johan are very friendly and helpful and we felt as we were visiting good friends. They did everything to help us... More

Bill and Marrie from Kent have described exactly how we feel about Aan Dorpstraat. It is hard to criticize two hard working and friendly guesthouse hosts who have really given us an enjoyable stay at their B&B. And we were not dissatisfied in any way, except perhaps with breakfast. While Johan made us lovely poached eggs, the actual choice of... More

From the moment I arrived, I felt like a family member. Nobody asked my name, they just knew it. Although, the room was small (single bed), it was very comfortable, cosy and had everything I needed. The breakfast was freshly prepared by the owner and by far exceeded my expectations. The guest house is very well located and within walking... More

We stayed at 15 different locations while touring South Africa and this was our only disappointment. It is overpriced for the quality of the room which was "tired" and which appeared bigger than it really was due to the breaking out of low, beamed walls.We banged our heads several times. Owners a little inclined to stress.Overall not great.

This was the third year staying at the Aan Dorpstraat. As usual we had a wonderful time with Gwen and Johan and standards are as high as ever. Johan's breakfasts are always a highlight of our holidays...cooked to order eggs and bacon and home made bread. Delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful and the guest house is always spotless.... More
