About Oude Werf Hotel

Historic Stellenbosch hotel with period-inspired luxury and modern comforts
Nestled in the historic heart of Stellenbosch - one of the Cape Winelands' most beloved towns - Oude Werf Hotel is a local landmark. It brings together the old (a period-inspired ambiance steeped in the hotel's rich history) and the new (modern-day pleasures and endless luxury), to create a pleasurable and relaxing experience for guests. There are 58 rooms in three different yet equally alluring styles, and a highlight is definitely dining in the in-house Oude Werf restaurant, a Stellenbosch favourite. It serves up modern comfort food (with a healthy twist), carefully prepared by chef Jeromy Joubert.

Property details

The property

With a dining history dating back to the 19th century (when then-owner Tant Betje Wium served legendary dishes) there's no question that food holds special significance here. An in-situ kitchen, with fireside interiors, and a lovely vine-covered courtyard off the lounge, provide guests with a taste of comfortable, classy dining and lounging, good food and, of course, some of South Africa's best wines. Relax and allow the hotel to wine and dine you, as only Oude Werf can.

The rooms

Choose between superior, deluxe or luxury room styles. Rooms are spread out across the hotel property, with some next to the poolside and garden, and others in the historic inn-house. The above-ground rooms provide lifts and adjacent inter-leading rooms, ensuring easy access for large groups of family or friends. All Oude Werf rooms are tastefully decked out with elegant, quaintly old-fashioned furnishings that enhance and retain the hotel's historic nature, as well as some fantastically luxurious modern touches.

Activities

Experience some of Stellenbosch's finest food at Oude Werf's restaurant. Keep an eye out for Stellenbosch Soul Food Evenings, which bring flavours and gourmet dishes from the past back to life. Venture off into the Stellenbosch Winelands for a wonderful day of wine tasting, then return to the hotel after a day's exploring for a relaxing in-room massage. Sip your favourite glass of newly-discovered vino and reflect on a day well-spent before you retire for a peaceful, deep sleep.
