The beautiful south is a great choice when you want to stay close to the city center. It is about a 15 minutes walk; you walk past the university through tree lined avenues; very nice. Our room was comfortable, but a little small, compared to other rooms we had during our stay in RSA. The pool area and the breakfast... more

The Beautiful South is a lovely guest house just outside the city centre of Stellenbosch. The rooms are nice, the staff are very friendly & helpful and the breakfast is lovely! The only thing you have to bear in mind is that it's a 15-20 minute walk to the city centre. We did a wine tour with Tsiba Tsiba which... more

We (a family of four) stayed here in April for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We chose to stay in Stellenbosch as our base for the Cape. It is ideally situated for the wine region and it is only 30mins from Cape Town, out of rush hour an easy drive. The guest house is situated within walking distance... more

We had a very pleasant stay here but believe this accommodation has been over-rated by Trip advisor readers in the past. We suspect a number of guest you have stayed here in the past have not experienced true South African B&Bs when writing their reports. more

I choose The Beautiful South because of the Trip Advisor reviews and the great price. It's a good deal for the price, but it did not compare well to the other Trip Advisor top rated B&Bs we stayed in throughout S. Africa. I appreciate what the hotel is trying to do by making a cute affordable pace, so if you... more

This was our first trip to South Africa and The Beautiful South was our first port of call. We stayed here for 3 nights and were made to feel very welcome and comfortable. We arrived early in the morning (6am) and the hosts Peter and Katarina organised an airport transfer for us. We were able to get changed, store luggage... more

This guest house was our first stop on a 10 day holiday. We were greeted by Catalina who was so helpful. As we arrived early, we relaxed by the beautiful pool and soaked up the sun. Soon after we were shown our beautiful room, which was clean and modernly decorated. The breakfast wasn’t your traditional fare! The fruit and bread... more

Stayed for one night. Booked the suite which was a lovely looking room, big bathroom, all under a thatched roof. The biggest shortfall of the stay was the heat of the room, with no aircon, the fan provided didnt really cut it. Nice garden and good looking property. Breakfast was OK but not the best we had on our two... more

Absolutely spot on guesthouse. Karen and Katrina both seem really laid back and this reflects on the vibe of the b&b. Really friendly, come and go at your own pace. Lovely pool area out the back with plenty spots to kick back after a day touring the wineries. The rooms really authentic with thatched roofs. Really well appointed. Slight downside... more
