The area is peaceful but still close to everything. The apartment itself is gorgeously decorated, and everything you’ll need is there. Warm & comfy for the winter and they have an AC unit for summer. Definitely recommend staying here!

We were visiting for the Cape Epic and used 4 Piet Retief as a base before and at the end of the race. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, finding secure spaces for our bikes and large bike bags, and even storing our bike bags in between our stays. The property was a calm and comfortable oasis to relax after hard days of racing. It is a short walk to the main downtown of Stellenbosch. We would highly recommend 4 Piet Retief to anyone staying in the Stellenbosch area, and would stay here again on a return visit

The location was one of the best we have ever experienced. The cottages were located in the middle of the farm like lanscpae under huge shady trees with a rivers nearby and a beautiful lush garden to match. Birds and horses were all about as were the squirrels, owls an raptors. Our host Di was most gracious and lovely. She went out of her way to make us comfy and feel at home.

    This is the perfect Guesthouse in Stellenbosch with what has to be the best breakfast in all of South Africa. The rooms are charming, well-decorated and with everything you could possibly need. John is a wonderful host and he made my group feel very special. Amazing value for your money. Even if you don't like wine, come to Stellenbosch just so you can stay at Van der Stel Manor.
