Rustenbosch Guesthouse

I have stayed there for business for a couple of days and I remember the large clean rooms and the fantastic breakfast which was on offer. It is a little bit non-central but you can reach the centre of Stellenbosch within a short walk.

We have stayed at Rustenbosch periodically for the past 6 years while we did the varsity thing with our children. We always had friendly and consistent service, with the staff willing to go the extra mile when requested. The self catering apartments are well-stocked and comfortable and the pool area is a nice extension of the rooms. It is close to the varsity, but quiet enough just outside the town centre. I also always felt safe staying there on my own.

My husband and I needed a getaway which did not require driving for hours and we came across Rustenbosch on GroupOn. We had an outside secluded classic room (Room4), which leads out to the garden. Even though it was one of the coldest weekends in Stellenbosch with bursts of hail and rain, the room was cosy and comfortable. Our first morning started with no hot water in our bathroom and we reported it to the manager on duty. She was very apologetic, offered us another room and complimentary breakfast to make up for the inconvenience, while she had a plumber look into the problem. We were moved to another room promptly and the rest is history. We had a very good overall experience and would definitely consider staying there again.
