Nice estate but unfortunately not properly managed

We stayed in their Werf Cottage, a great space for families. We loved the large garden and the proximity to their Carnival playground. Unfortunately it seems that no one is paying attention to the details. Their website is very professional but the staff on site isn't reflecting that. For example the apartment had broken chairs, loose towel bar and closet door, ... that would require maintance. Weirdest thing was the bottle of local wine on our room. There was no cork screw in the apartment to open it and unfortunately the Jonkershuis restaurant nearby already closes at 6pm. We were able to solve it next day but also charged for the bottle on checkout with the comment that there should have been a note next to it (there was no note). A comment on breakfast: Very nice options (liked the eggs benedict) but you need to be patient as the service is slow. Took us 30 minutes to order although there were almost no other guests on one day. Overall they could make much more out of it with all the nice surroundings.

Comfort and Style

We attended a wedding at Nooitgedacht Estate. The location of Weltevreden Estate was perfect as it was only 2.5km from the wedding venue.The room was decorated beautifully. The bed was big, warm and very comfy. Unfortunately there was no shower, but a lovely bath. The breakfast was phenomenal and available till 11am!

It’s close to the charming town of Stellenbosch, and has lovely gardens. The rooms upstairs are small and somewhat dark due to the thatch, but they are good value and are in the main house which dates from the 1700’s. There’s no access to indoors common areas in the house though. No pool but great play area for kids! The cafe is darling tho outside so it’s best to come Dec til end March!

Comfy!

It is such a beautiful estate and the staff is very friendly, especially Leigh! The restaurant caters for various events from kiddies parties to weddings! The room has a romantic setting with a comfy bed. The Cloetewill rooms are perfect for a group of friends or family as it has a communal section for drinks.

Stellenbosch op en top.

Geweldige en zeer mooie locatie met veel (Hollandse) historie. Kamers zeer sfeervol ingericht. Onze kamer had een uitstekende douche en zeer goed bed. Hebben er heerlijk vertoefd in een rustige omgeving. Zeer geschikt voor mensen met een hang naar nostalgie i.c.m. luxe.

Disliked: Staff & service

muss nicht sein...da gibt es deutlich Besseres...

Generell können wir die Zimmer im Weltevreden nicht so wirklich empfehlen, da es in den Winelands deutlich bessere Alternativen gibt. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir vom Security empfangen und zu unser Zimmern gebracht. Es gab keine wirkliche Begrüßung, keinen Welcome-Drink und keinerlei Information. Es wurde uns einfach der Schlüssel in die Hand gedrückt und das wars. Die Zimmer sind auch eher in die Jahre gekommen und recht duster. Aber am meisten hat uns dann am Morgen das Frühstück enttäuscht. Wir waren nun schon sehr häufig in Südafrika und hatten immer ein perfektes und schön zubereitetes Frühstück. Die war im Weltevreden leider nicht der Fall und alle nicht ganz so gewöhnlichen Extras waren extra zu bezahlen. Leider auch jeder weitere Kaffee. Das kannten wir bisher aus Südafrika überhaupt nicht. Insgesamt würden wir das Weltevreden nicht empfehlen und wir werden auch selbst dort nicht mehr übernachten.
