Hotels near Nooitgedacht Estate, Stellenbosch

This was our first stay in South Africa, and within hours of arriving at Devon Valley we knew it would not be our last. This hotel is a hidden gem, set in the beautiful vineyard country close to Stellenbosch. I wish there were more stars to give the staff who made our stay such a joy. Special mentions to Edgar, the manager of the fabulous Flavours restaurant, and Juliano in the bar who could mix the perfect gin martini. I’m sorry I can’t remember her name but the lady on reception was also super helpful organising us a wine tour with a local guide. The hotel is idyllic, with a great terrace where you can enjoy a meal or drinks while enjoying the magnificent views. We also partook in a wine tasting experience with canapés of some local wines, with Juliano giving us lots of info and also being great company. Stellenbosch was an easy 5 minute drive and Franschoek around 40 minutes through fabulous scenery. We went on a Friday which was market day where the quality of goods on offer were great. We spent 3 nights here at the beginning of a 2 week holiday around the Cape and are already planning our return with at least 5 nights at Devon Valley.

The views. The staff. The rooms. Everything was perfect. We found our little heaven on earth and we couldn't get enough of this place. Calvin is very helpful and the rest of the staff too. I loved it. Definitely coming back here.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful wine farm hotel. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with a lovely setting and very clean surroundings. The room was cozy with a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, freshly made, and a perfect start to the day. Overall, it was a delightful experience — highly recommended!

Great location, friendly staff and lovely room with a view!

Food was great, the suite was spacious and clean, most imprtantly good air conditioning. Wifi was good too.

Excellent. Although I only have yoghurt and my own protein powder for breakfast, I loved the Bulgarian yoghurt.
