Evergreen Manor and Spa

Such a relaxing stay in beautifully shaded gardens. We stayed for4 wonderful nights with breakfast. Clayton was our first contact by email with the hotel. His reply was swift, professional and we were confident he had done everything he said. He was also the last to see us off - what a fabulous gentleman. We were picked up at Capetown airport and were at the hotel in 40 minutes. Alex greeted us warmly and welcomed us to our room and explained how the key system worked. Our room was beautiful and there was a lovely welcome drink. He is very thoughtful and also wanted me to be sure I enjoyed the pool(s). One is in the sun the other the shade. Barend arranged a hop on hop off wine tasting which was amazing and great value for money. He also arranged for our laundry to be done which was returned perfectly within a few hours. Nuraan checked on us to ensure we had what we needed, whether we needed more items for the minibar and whether we needed turndown etc and makes the best breakfast croissants. It was an easy walk into town and away from the bustling traffic. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. It’s a shame 5 is the most we can give - amazing hospitality. There are many establishments that could learn from this.

I stayed here for 3 nights with a group of 14 traveling through South Africa. My room was spacious and clean. There was a large jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Due to water conservation measures, they have a sign that asks you to ask for a plug if you’d like to use it. They are encouraging you to save water. It also has a safe, mini refrigerator and robe. I saw the pool but did not use it. This is a get in and walk around to cool down situation and 1 travel companion used it and enjoyed it. The morning breakfast has a menu in which you can have an omelette, full English breakfast or French toast. They also have a great selection of fruit, sweets, bread, cold cereal, cheeses, meats, etc. All of the staff are kind and hard working. A bonus for me is that the neighborhood is very walkable. You can walk to the Stellenbosch University and the downtown restaurants and shops. The huge bonus is I walked 10 minutes to the university 50 m outdoor and 25 y indoor pool. Overall a great place to stay!

Good hospitality. Barend thanks for staving at Evergreen Manor & Spa. Good environment. Safe to walk around and go to the center of Stellenbosch.
