Beneath the Eastern slopes of Table Mountain, The Vineyard is an oasis in Newlands, set within eight acres of enchanting gardens. Winding paths, open lawns and mature trees create a sense of space and calm, with the mountain rising beyond the property.
There is a gentle rhythm to life at The Vineyard. Fountains and the river bring the sound of water through the grounds, while tortoises and geese are familiar visitors. The changing light, fresh air and surrounding landscape create a feeling of being close to nature, yet the city is never far away, making The Vineyard a place where you can enjoy a slower pace without feeling removed from Cape Town.

With its doors opening onto historic Church Street, Oude Werf sits at the centre of Stellenbosch, surrounded by restaurants, cafés, galleries and local culture. There is a gentle sense of charm here, shaped by its long connection to Stellenbosch and its position within the rhythm of the town.
Its relaxed atmosphere creates a sense of familiarity that makes the hotel feel settled within its surroundings rather than removed from them. Outside, Stellenbosch brings its lively mix of food, wine, culture and conversation; inside, there is space to slow down and settle into the day. The hotel’s spaces reflect this balance, from the shaded courtyard and swimming pool to the lounge and garden areas that invite you to spend time at your own pace.
Oude Werf reflects the character of Stellenbosch without trying to replicate it — a place with its own sense of warmth and ease, closely connected to the town around it.
