"Drinking good wine with good food in good company is one of life's most civilized pleasures."

Stellenbosch is well known as a wine destination, but one cannot live of wine alone. Our town also consists of a myriad of top end restaurants, museums, historic buildings and other attractions. Exploring Stellenbosch by foot provides intriguing glimpses of colonial Dutch architecture. During Hard lockdown restaurants were prohibited from operating but as government restrictions eased, some restaurants are now operating.

We invite you to come and experience our signature South African High Tea in the grand dining hall of the Bonne Esperance Victorian Villa. The setting is absolutely gorgeous with high ceilings, grand chandeliers, sash windows, wooden floors and a cosy fire place. The table is set with a feast of delectable High Tea bites and each one showcases a uniquely South African twist.

Bonne Esperance Guest House is offering an exclusive "Social Bubble" package now that leisure travel within your province is allowed in Advanced Level 3.

The reunion package is ideal for a group of friends or an extended family who have been longing to spend quality time together. This is the perfect excuse for a girl's weekend aka "Annual Book Club Getaway". Based in the heart of picturesque Stellenbosch, the guest house will be for the exclusive use of your group. The staff will be sure to make it a memorable and safe experience.

The package includes a 2 night stay, a hike, all meals as well as tea & coffee. Cold drinks can be bought separately. A friend or family photoshoot, mobile beauty spa treatments and guided bike tours are an optional extra.

We are so proud to be part of Visit Stellenbosch, they have been so supportive and pro-active in these trying times. Below is an info graphic of the Duty of Care protocols that they have developed for the accommodation sector of Stellenbosch. We want to assure guests that together as a town we are doing everything we can to take care of the health and wellbeing of our guests.
We look forward to welcoming you as soon as the lockdown on travel is lifted. #WarmheartStellenbosch #StellenboschReady #ProudlyStellenbosch
