They were incredibly helpful as we had to check in late, and check out very early the following day. It was a smooth process from start to finish, with clear communication along the way. They provided us with breakfast packs in our room as we were missing the breakfast time the following morning due to our early check out. Exceptional care and service!

The room was spacious, well equipped and elegant. During the load shedding the WiFi and lights still worked. There was also a heating option. The breakfast was overwhelming. We could choose between freshly baked, warm scones and croissants for starters. There were also fresh fruits, granola and yogurt. Last but not least we could choose between all types of eggs with bacon/mushrooms/tomatoes/avocado etc. The hosts were very friendly and gave us helpful recommendations for wine tastings. The location was very quiet and safe.

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.

Great location away from the busy traffic, but not so far from N2 highway. Great host who went out of her way to allow us to do a late check in way after their cut-off time. Big room for family and facilities well looked after, had a great breakfast also part of the package. Great service overall and quite relaxing environment.

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.
