Our central location offers our guests the opportunity to walk to all the incredible restaurants in the city centre. Unfortunately a lot of the restaurants are fully booked a day in advance, so it's crucial to make a booking. Below you'll find our favourite restaurants in town. They form part of Annemien's Restaurant Recommendation List, which you'll find in each room's information booklet.

As you probably know, we are situated in the heart of Stellenbosch. The wine bars and bars are all a 3 to 10 minute walk away, making it the perfect place to go for pre-drinks before indulging at any of the wonderful restaurants in the town center. It's also a great way to sample wine if you don't have the time to visit any of the many world-class wine farms in the area.
