Fodor's Expert Review Oude Werf Hotel

30 Church St., Stellenbosch, Western Cape, 7600, South Africa

A national monument, this attractive 1802 hotel is thought to be the oldest continuously running inn in South Africa. The reception area is in the original living room, a beautiful space with a lofty beamed ceiling and elegant antiques. The whole hotel has undergone a major revamp, and the rooms have a clean, contemporary feel. A lovely garden and pool in a brick courtyard shaded by trellised vines is open for meals and drinks throughout the day.
