Fantastic. Would do it again. It was a blessing from heaven above, not only was it a lovely place with beautiful breakfasts, the staff and employees go out of their way to make you feel at home. Thanks to the team for making our stay in Stellenbosch so memorable.

Lovely little place. Nice location to explore Stellenbosch. There was no fuss. The morning breakfast is a great addition to the stay.

Stellenbosch has become very vogue; we feel we stayed in the real Stellenbosch. Warm, welcoming with a certain berg-air wistfulness about it. de Oude Meul Guest House is not your flash, modern apartment block; it is a monument building made of stone and clay, with thick walls and narrow stairways. It has character, history, and so much more. We loved it. They were so accommodating too. I traveled with my mum; an extra bed was put in the room for convenience (so we didn't have to share the double), and upon request, plenty of bags of Five Roses Tea and Rooibos for said mother who loves her tea! When you walk into the Café for breakfast, you get the distinct feeling of familiarity; these aren't all just random customers off the street, but many regulars, some who have become friends as handshakes and pleasantries are exchanged. Although we were tourists, sitting in the Café, we didn't feel touristy and felt a bit like extended family as we called it "home" when roaming the streets of Stellenbosch. You are incredibly central when you stay at de Oude Meul Guest House. You must take this into account when booking because with the convenience also comes the commotion. It can get a bit noisy at night depending on when you travel. Pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper or get uptight about lack of sleep when on holiday. Remember you are in the heart of the city, and the city is to be enjoyed by the revelers. I am not much of a night reveler (anymore) but simply enjoyed the city commotion as part of the experience and then snuck in an afternoon power nap if I felt a deterioration in my mood. Jason, the owner of de Oude Meul Guest House, is a fountain of knowledge with regards to the history of the area and has lots of quirky stories and tales. His deep-set eyebrows and grumpy façade are just that - a façade. A great sense of humour sits behind those eyebrows. Ask lots of questions. We found him a wonderful host.

Pleasant. The warm welcome together with pleasant hospitality was well received. Thank you.

Convenient location - quirky. The guest house is located in the middle of town, making it an easy walk to Dorp St restaurants, which is great. It's noisy though, but to be expected at that location. The room I stayed in felt like it needed a deep clean and some TLC. The mattress was okay but could be better. The aircon worked well, which was appreciated, as was the good WiFi! I battled unlocking and locking the inner door at street level - not great if you're wanting to get inside quickly. The key worked, but I had to fiddle each time. There was no in-room safe for a laptop - maybe that's a Joburg thing .
