How To Choose Accommodation in Stellenbosch

There are 2 main things to consider when looking for a hotel or guest house in Stellenbosch.

Location

The first will be location. In this instance, we classify the lodgings according to the distance from Stellenbosch’s town centre. The pros of staying in the town centre are that you are placed in a central location that is essentially the commercial hub. Here you will get to experience the cultural vibe of Stellenbosch and be near to a plethora of restaurants and cafes.

These estates are great when you are planning to make a getaway of your stay and plan to spend more time at the hotel.
