Cultivar Guest Lodge

What a lovely experience, from first contact to when we left, all of the staff were friendly and professional. Accommodation is clean and comfortable with lovely views. We will be back, preferably in the summer, so we can enjoy the swimming pools.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The hotel is situated a 10 minute drive outside of Stellenbosch. There isn't a restaurant other than for breakfast and there are no other dining facilities anywhere close by, so you really require a car here. The security is good, behind a large sliding gate. Both of the 2 swimming pools are nice with good sun loungers and amazing views. The room was okay. The bedroom was a bit in the small size, although the bathroom was a good size and the shower enormous. Bathroom fittings were modern and there were twin sinks. The thing we didn't like was there wasn't a TV and in a country like SA where you are in bed quite early, we really missed this. The internet was also pretty intermittent in our room, so we couldn't download anything on to a tablet etc. The other anomaly was there wasn't a proper wardrobe, just a peg type place to hang 3 or 4 coat hangers. There was an in room safe. The breakfasts were acceptable although quite limited in choice. We wouldn't return though due to lack of TV as surely in this day and age that's a prerequisite for a hotel.

We have already stayed over 40 days in this great accommodation. We feel really comfortable there. On six different trips since 2020, we felt a very familiar atmosphere here. All staff are friendly and helpful without exception. We always book a room with pool and garden views. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. Insect screen available. Room can be darkened well. Next to a wardrobe a practical, multi-armed tree. The bathroom is very modern, elegant and has everything you need so. Good mattresses and upper beds, pillows of different strength, everything you could wish for. Freshly brewed filter coffee and a coffee machine are available for breakfast. Egg dishes are freshly prepared as desired. Fruit, yogurt, croissants, cheese and cold meats are available. The lawn, the beds, the pool, the whole complex is very well maintained. An ideal base for exploring the Winelands and Cape Town. And by chance we met the German owners who want to give it an upgrade and have already started to do so.
