Great guest house with friendly & helpful staff, comfortable rooms, and excellent hot breakfast! The gardens/grounds were inviting and the common rooms charming. The location, between the University and town center, was perfect for us, since we were visiting my daughter who was attending the University. We also thoroughly enjoyed the wine tour arranged by the guest house with their... More

What a delightful pocket of tranquillity in Stellenbosch. The rooms are very cosy and spacious and the breakfast room was warm and inviting with a crackling fire and delicious breakfast. It's very central in Stellenbosch and an walk to the town for dinner.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Bonn Esperance. It's a lovely home that is well cared for. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a short walk to town so easy to get around. Our only concern was that it was a little loud, easy to hear your neighbors, but this didn't affect our sleep. We would stay... More

I've been traveling SA on business the past few months in a different accommodation every week. Well, Bonne Esperance was definitely the best of the best. From the amazing warmth and hospitality to the eclectic breakfast to the homey atmosphere, this experience was bar none! Thank you:)

Thanks for a lovely stay. We will be back! The only complaint was that there was noise from the room above us. (e.g.walking on the wooden floors) But otherwise our room was very nice and had everything we needed. Derek and Lynn Aron

Bonne Esperance, Stellenbosch South Africa. Our stay here was perfect: We received a warm welcome back (we have stayed several times), beautiful rooms and fittings, courtyard, close to Stellenbosch town and university, free wifi, and just the best breakfast. My husband was there for business and I for luxury and and being close to town. Thank you very much!

The guest house was more than we expected. When they said a small room we expected to be in a shoe box, but it was more than enough space to do what we needed to from a room. The guest house was well maintained and it was like a family atmosphere. I look forward to a longer stay there for... More
