Hawksmoor House

We booked and paid for a family group of 22 people to stay at Hawksmoor house for a weekend. When our guests started arriving to check-in on the Friday afternoon, they were informed that the guesthouse has been without electricity for 5 days due to cable theft, and that there was no indication of when power would be restored. There was no offer to help us find alternative accommodation nor any notification of this issue other than an email that was sent to us earlier on the day of check-in. Other than this absolute shocking non existent customer service, the property is also not well looked after, another indication of poor management. To date the manager has not provided us with the owners' contact details. Which is a pity, because I doubt that they are aware of how their property is managed. We found alternative accommodation which of course was more expensive due to the short notice.

Not the best stay here. Lloyd the front of house was extremely rude and would not recommend this place to anyone. Very unhelpful staff and not a great atmosphere to be in at all. Very disappointing.

What a great place to go! A setup offering lots of the Western Cape culture along with fantastic rates. The rooms are beautifully made up, the staff are fantastic and the morning breakfast was divine. Highly recommend it for small getaways.

Beautiful, romantic and unique hideaway with fantastic service, a stunning garden and very good breakfast!

Place is beautiful and charming, the property stunning and well taken care off. The room very spacious with great bathroom, however is quite old in the inside making it a funny humidity smell in the whole room. Breakfast was good in general but the orange juice isn’t freshly pressed.

I had a great stay here! The property is quite remote but gorgeous. A car is definitely needed. Breakfast was delicious. The manager arranged a private wine tour for me with Nassif, who was great and very accommodating.

A beautiful place to stay with beautiful views. The scents when you are outside are just amazing. Jasmin, lavender etc. You are surrounded by nature and horses. The house does breakfast but for the rest you can use the kitchen to prepare your own meals and use the fridge to store things. There is a honesty bar with their own wines.

Its nice, some parts need upgrading such as the pool. Do note that its pretty remote and quiet. If thats what your looking for, its great. It’s about a 25 min drive to the city centre of Stellenbosch.

Lloyd made us very welcome, despite HH not catering for evening meals we arrived very hungry! He rustled up a delicious lasagne. First rate service. Highly recommended.

Lloyd is amazing and super accommodating. 100% recommended. Beautiful accommodation.
