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

Schools are closed and stressed parents are desperate for new ways to keep the little ones entertained.
We asked our staff members to share some ideas:

It has been over a month since the beginning of lockdown and, fortunately, we are now able to go outside and exercise! Face masks are mandatory but the freedom to run, cycle and stroll in the fresh air has brought joy to many people in these troubling times.

The Stellenbosch municipality has also been doing a great job of sanitising public spaces to avoid the spread of the disease. Pavements, benches and dustbins all get washed and sanitised.

As we are all locked behind doors for now we know for sure that this boundary is not indefinite, we will get to travel, explore and visit loved ones again, not tomorrow but soon. For now we can dream about the things we want to do when this wave has passed.
