More sumptuous than a guest house and more homely than a hotel, Summerwood is an adults only guest house situated in beautiful Stellenbosch, nestled between mountains and rivers, the perfect base from which to explore.
Conveniently located within easy reach of the Winelands, Cape Town and its spectacular scenery, the guest house is set in a serene garden featuring a wide variety of indigenous plants. Originally built in 1904, it was designed by famous architect Mello Damstra and has been lovingly restored to meet the demands of the modern traveler.
The friendly staff invite you to enjoy the comforts and tranquility of Summerwood and the beauty of its surroundings.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
“Huge rooms, lovely terrace with honeysuckle and lemon tree. Gardens and pool were very relaxing.”
