I posted earlier, but realize the topic header was limiting. We are hoping to stay in Stellenbosch for three days in June this year and use it as a base for exploring the area. We have stayed before in LQF and loved it, but want a change this time around. We would prefer to stay in the town centre and are looking for a good hotel. All suggestions for both stay and trips welcome. Thanks again...

River Manor Boutique Hotel and Spa is lovely, and within easy walking distance to the town centre.

D'Ouwe Werf. Operated by the same group that has the Vineyard.

Thanks ! Will check out both...

I can give you advice on wine tours and wine farms in the area -studied at Setellenbosch University and spent many happy afternoons testing the local tipple....

I have a free wine route map you can download on your mobile if you like...
