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.
PROS
- perfect location in the heart of Stellenbosch
- heated outdoor pool
- excellent in-house restaurant
CONS
- entry-level rooms are quite small
- can get a bit noisy in the center of town
- some rooms are dark
