The 25 individually decorated en-suite bedrooms combine traditional Old Cape atmosphere with modern comfort and convenience. Beautiful authentic antiques and faithfully copied reproductions grace all our rooms. 15 Luxury rooms are decorated with genuine period pieces with several beds dating from the 1830's Georgian period (Rooms 4, 5 & 9).

The 8 twin and 7 double luxury rooms are mostly situated in the original building with six in the new wing which was built in 1990. The new wing rooms were built to modern hotel standards and have separate showers as opposed to bath/shower combinations. Even though they are newer than the old rooms by 170 years, they have all the charm of the Old Cape and can boast some of the most beautiful furniture.

The standard rooms have all the same amenities as the Luxury rooms but are furnished with faithfully copied reproductions. All the standard rooms are individually decorated with 4 doubles and 6 twins. Some of the standard rooms are situated in the old wing but 8 are situated in a newer extension built in 1987. These surround the courtyard and overlook the swimming pool area.

All the rooms are fitted with airconditioning. Tea and coffee facilities, a bar fridge (not stocked), radio and TV"s with the M-Net Channel are available in each room. The telephone system allows internet access but there are no dedicated data points in the rooms. Don't fret though, there is an Internet Cafe situated less than 100m away.

On the 2nd of April 1982, the well known d' Ouwe Werf restaurant was opened. Regarded as one of the culinary landmarks in Stellenbosch with traditional dishes such as Bobotie, Smoorsnoek, Biltong Pate` and Cape Brandy Pudding being choice examples of South African Cuisine.

In addition to the extensive traditional offerings, a full variety of lighter dishes is available, including Continental Cuisine. We must boast that our Baked Cheese Cake is regularly rated as the best in town.

Breakfast at d' Ouwe Werf consists of a smorgasbord of cereals, fruits, juices, yoghurts, cold meats and cheeses, muffins, toast and croissants. Followed with warm courses. Tea and filter coffee are of course available.

During the winter months, two fireplaces keep guests snug while the air conditioning in summer provides a welcome respite from the African sun.

In-house musicians softly tinkle at the keys of our piano during the evenings creating a tranquil romantic atmosphere. Our extensive wine list makes it possible for d' Ouwe Werf Restaurant to be one of the few places where one can enjoy old cape vintages often dating back to the early 1980's or a carafe chosen from a short list.

Our private courtyard with the swimming pool at its centre is is a tranquil setting to prepare you for an exciting day ahead. Its relaxing atmosphere will also ease away any strains after a busy day.

The 24 hour secure parking will put your mind at ease to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Stellenbosch.

The Voorkamer will beckon you to linger beside the old stove fire and sip a vintage wine for which the region is famous. A serene closure to your day might be spent beside the fire with a fine glass of port in "de Kromme Elleboog" ("the raised elbow"). This room is sometimes used as a private dining room for functions as well as a small meeting room.

d'Ouwe Werf is the consummate gracious Inn with a fine tradition of service and hospitality.
