Great stay!

We had a great stay at Devonvale. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. My boyfriend enjoyed playing golf at the Estate. I was able to enjoy spa treatments in the room (they do not have a spa on site anymore) as well as an on site gym. The wine estate is not open anymore but they have a great restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed our stay but we surprised that there wasn't a spa or winery anymore. But I would say the staff and comfortable rooms made up for this!

Second stay, lovely hotel

Second stay at Devonvale. Lovely hotel on a Golf Estate & Wine Farm near Stellenbosch. Stayed in an upgraded room which was spacious and came fully equipped with small kitchenette. Lovely grounds with stunning pool, close to many fantastic wine farms and 30 minutes outside Cape Town center. Rooms were air-conditioned, and the breakfast buffet was fantastic too. Only the included WiFi could be improved. Fine for general browsing, but Netflix was blocked and so were VPN connections which made it impossible to connect to my work network. Room tip: ask for a non-joining room on the upper floor.

Good day Thank you for the wonderful review. We are always happy to hear that our guests have enjoyed their stay with us that they return. We have taken note of the Wifi situation and will try our best to work on this to improve it. We do hope that you will return to us once again in the near future.

A pleasant stay

The hotel is very nice, set just outside Stellenbosch. We had a 2 bedroom apartment (not garden flat only balcony) and the bedrooms were very small but the living room was nice. The kitchenette was small but well stocked. The pool was a disappointment - it was very dirty (of bugs) when we arrived - dirtier than I have ever seen a pool to be. The next day it was a bit better but still not clean. A shame really as it was a nice space. Not quite enough loungers by the pool either. Spa was very nice (had a great massage) and breakfast was nice too. Overall a pleasant stay.

Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018

Response from Caitlin on 7 Jan 2019

Dear Emily Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are very sorry to hear that the pool was not up to standard. We will definitely look into the matter to see where we can improve on this. We are happy to hear that the remainder of the stay was enjoyable. We do hope that you have a wonderful new year and we hope to welcome you back to Devonvale in the future. Kind Regards

Relaxing stay at Devonvale

I cannot fault my stay at Devonvale and I would highly recommend this hotel. All the staff are very attentive, especially the restaurant staff. Breakfasts were one of the highlights of mine and my husbands day. The range of food available was excellent and the quality was first class.

Good for golfers

Apartment room in large hotel. Generally good but a bit faded (worn soft furnishings, stained carpets) but bathrooms and linens very clean. Kitchenette tiny but well equipped. Limited general facilities other than the golf course. The swimming pool was small and pea green for the duration of our 5 day stay. Seemed to be a filtration problem rather than a result of the drought. Target audience probably groups of golfers who would have a happier experience.

nothing great to do..

Restaurant Staff were very good. They showed good hospitality. However, the condition of pool and other activities to do were not too great. Room size were small, which didnt turn out to be comfortable. Also, we asked the staff member to check us out an hour late if possible, they agreed on first place as there were not to many guests, but due to mis communication me and my husband faced inconvenience. Also, we asked for the hotel bill via email and yet its not received.

Golfers Dream

A very modern venue with excellent facilities and very comfortable. Close to Stellenbosch and the wine lands but a car is needed as nothing is within walking distance. Excellent pool and small gym. The breakfast was superb but dinner menu a bit limited. Outstanding location for golfers.

Quite and peaceful

It was only one night stay and the place is beautiful. Room is not very big, but very nice with classic style. We had a very nice dinner in the restaurant with local winery wine and cheese. In the morning the weather was good and we ate breakfast outside on the porch looking on people playing golf and listening to birds. So quite and peaceful.

Lovely relaxing getaway

My husband and I spent one night at Devonvale for our anniversary. It was lovely and quiet, the room was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly. They have the loveliest restaurant on the estate so we didn't need to leave the estate for a romantic supper.

Good but small

The petite rooms are petite, wasn't space for the bags to be opened other than on the floor which means you have to step over them when moving around the room. Other than that I can't complain. Was very nice
