The Devon Valley Hotel

Beautiful setting and my family have been going to Devon Valkey for over 50 years

We had to ask for a fire to be light in the beautiful bar/lounge area in the middle of May and were told that a fire can only be light subject to a certain no. Of guests. It was then only light! We had to leave the lounge area at about 9.30 pm as the bar was closed and sit in the diningroom to finish our special evening. This is not good hospitality.

Das jeweilige Abendessen war sehr lecker. Und die Weine der angrenzenden Güter vorzüglich.

Für eine Weingegend, versteht das Personal herzlich wenig von Wein.

Very peaceful and beautiful location and have been a guest there for over 5 decades with my family

We had to request for a fire to be light in the beautiful lounge / bar area in the early evening and were advised that the owner has a directive that a fire can only be light subject to a certain minimum no. Of guests. This is not acceptable when an overnight stay for 4 guests is still a significant amount of hard earned money. The fire was then light when I voiced my absolute displeasure. We had to vacate the beautiful warm bar after dinner, and before we were ready, and sit in the diningroom to finish our evening.

This time the accommodation was for my Mother. However we have stayed at this Hotel on several occasions. Always an excellent choice for the Stellenbosch area.

Gutes Frühstück mit Buffet und sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal.

Anlage und Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen und antik. Badezimmer und Toiletten, speziell im Resrroom nicht so sauber.

Schöne Lage mit altem Baumbestand, direkt in einem Weingut. Nahe am Flughafen. 30 Minuten

Man muss das Gepäck selbst vom Auto bis zum Zimmer schleppen und das sind 250 Meter. Das Zimmer ist einrichtungsmässig in die Jahre gekommen, aber ok. Nicht ok ist, dass Tisch und Stühle auf der Terrasse nicht gereinigt sind, in schlechtem Zustand und der Aschenbecher nicht geleert. Zimmer 38

Amazing venue with very friendly staff, especially the receptionist / host upon arrival. The environment was peaceful and most enjoyable. The tomato soup was probably the best we have ever had!

The room was a little small, but nothing to be negative about, I would just ask specifically for a larger room next time.

A lovely hotel full of charm and tasteful finishes. Wonderful views, great restaurant and a quality breakfast. Really comfy beds and linen. Really relaxing place, charming staff, spot on on many levels.

Could be a bit closer to Stellenbosch

Lovely view from relaxing patio area. Helpful and friendly staff.

Too expensive for the facilities. Not much grounds to walk around despite being surrounded by vineyard. I have had better breakfast in hotels half the price.

Location, very peaceful. Supportive staff when not at breakfast

Service at breakfast was very chaotic on 2 of the 4 mornings we stayed there. We were frequently given incorrect drinks and often these were in paper cups as china cups had run out. This is not what I would expect from such a lovely hotel

Das Hotel in seiner gesamten Anlage ist ein Juwel und ein Blick zurück ins letzte Jahrhundert. Sehr gute Küche, englische Einrichtung und sehr nettes Personal in einer sehr idyllischen Lage.

Conforto e a vista

Nada

- Beautiful surrounds - Room spacious and comfortable beds - good aircon in room - lovely breakfast on the terrace

Addressed with Management after check out (was only a one night stay) but essentially: - they prepped the room for two and we were three on the booking (housekeeping missed the brief so only two towels and only two waters and room service closed when we returned late at night to only find the then) - very leaky shower that wouldn’t run hot water no matter yow long we stood there and waited (sadly also only found out when we woke up in the morning - despite advertised “smart TV” - with instructions in the room - sadly our room had been overlooked for this “upgrade” at time of our stay. So we searched in vain late that night looking for entertainment. Whilst none of these issues could be directly remedied a token maybe breakfast voucher offer would have been a nice touch. As it was all we got an email assuring us that all those issues were resolved - great news for the next guests.

A lovely relaxed setting in the gardens away from the busy town but close enough to be there in no time!

The staff were all very friendly but perhaps need some better work flow systems in the dining room. Dinner was ok but not exceptional.

Close to Stellenbosch. Picturesque. The staff member made an effort to correct the room set up after it was not correct. The waitron also made an effort to get the breakfast corrected as the egg temperature was incorrect. Staff members were friendly. The room was clean and comfortable.

The facility is old which is to be expected. Unfortunately the room wasn't made up as per request (due to room change) however this was corrected late at night on arrival. My family member was there on her birthday. There was not any special effort made to acknowledge her birthday, despite informing and even on their documentation stating (where required) that there was a special celebration. The rooms are unfortunately not sound proof (specifically due to the wooden flooring) so if you are a light sleeper, you can hear people walking around on the floor boards.

The room was comfortable, clean and a good size. The hotel is situated in a beautiful location. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful.

Fantastiskt hotell o omgivningar

Het personeel is super aardig en heel erg behulpzaam . het ontbijt is prima , uitgebreid en leuk om op het mooie terras te ontbijten .

I just have to say how impressed I am with the staff here. They’re genuinely friendly, quick to respond to calls and requests, and always attentive. They handle things promptly, listen carefully, and even keep the atmosphere light and happy with their warm personalities. It’s rare to see a team that combines professionalism with such kindness and fun energy

Honestly, there wasn’t anything I didn’t like

Попали в кинофильм "Хороший год". Чудесный разросшийся сад, пение птиц, комфортные реновированные номера.

Die Lage und Hotel

Music in der Bar. Schreckliches Free-Jazz 😞

The view of the valley from our room was exceptional. We loved the peace and quiet here. The restaurant served excellent food and the portions were always far too big for us! The gardens and the pool below the hotel were a peaceful place to pass the time. The hotel is also very close to central Stellenbosch (with a car). We have already booked again.

Nothing.

Room, breakfast, staff was friendly

Pool not very clean. Restaurant (for dinner) could improve.

Beautiful location and surrounding, friendly and helpful staff

The pool was very murky and a thin layer of oil floated on top. I’m not sure they clean it often considering it’s peak summer, and usage is high, it should have been cleaned daily.

Beautiful views of the Devon Valley, with close proximity to the Stellenbosch restaurants and wine farms. This is our 2nd visit and the staff remembered us and greeted my family with arms wide open. Recommend the double garden rooms as they are spacious. Made a last minute Sunday lunch booking for our family visiting from Australia, and they were more than happy to accommodate the large group.

Everything was 100%

L'emplacement est pratique, les vues magnifiques et l'environnement. Le petit dejeuner est excellent. La piscine entouree de verdure hyper agreable

Rien a signaler!

Stylish interior, gorgeous setting with beautiful views over vineyards, beautiful gardens, good food, friendly staff. Romantic. Rooms were decent size.

Pool area was a bit neglected.

Staff / environment / the resident cat / the fabulous cappuccinos

The room was actually old and for the price I paid surely a better view would have been appreciated. R2600 for an old room, no small fridge was a bit high. The large bed also didn’t seem to have a correct duve size on it. If I have to rate the room alone and the location it’s worth about R1500-1600

It is a beautiful safe property just outside of town overlooking the vineyards

They permit smoking in the common areas like the outdoor dining, gonna ruin the ambience for everyone else.

Gorgeous quaint boutique hotel, central location perfect for sightseeing. The restaurant is good. Staff are extremely welcoming and accommodating. Clean, tranquil setting, breathtaking views. Cannot recommend it enough!

Wooden floors in the rooms are quite loud and creaky and in the hallway but does not distract from the overall ambience

The restaurant served great food. The bar staff were friendly

Our room was quite noisy, and there was a huge couch taking up space in what otherwise was a lovely spacious room, made room feel small

The location

The fact that i paid for a room with a bath for my wife to relax in and the bath water ran so slow that if I opened the tap it took more than a hour and it didn’t even fill the bath quarter full.I know it is quiet at your facility now so now is the right time to do upgrades or repairs.Ive been to the place before and the standards have dropped quite a bit.😢😢😢

Beautiful hotel with super friendly staff

Cannot say anything negative about the property

Barman was great and Breakfast staff happy and friendly. Cosy bar area

Travelling a lot staying in many places and hotels one understands the ratings and the “why’s” to pricing but this felt rather expensive for the offering and the room type. Granted it is season . The room is very small for what you are paying.

The place, the Service, the room and the Bar were Minimum *****

Your receptionist Orianda and Edgar are absolutely amazing. And then your waiters in the reataurant (cannot remember their names unfortunately) also super amazing. And Jerry the cat. 😂 The breakfast is just WOW!!! And another WOW!! And the cappuccino, and and and. I will truly give your establishment an 11/10 if I could. Well done Devon Valley Hotel. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent.

This was our first stay in South Africa, and within hours of arriving at Devon Valley we knew it would not be our last. This hotel is a hidden gem, set in the beautiful vineyard country close to Stellenbosch. I wish there were more stars to give the staff who made our stay such a joy. Special mentions to Edgar, the manager of the fabulous Flavours restaurant, and Juliano in the bar who could mix the perfect gin martini. I’m sorry I can’t remember her name but the lady on reception was also super helpful organising us a wine tour with a local guide. The hotel is idyllic, with a great terrace where you can enjoy a meal or drinks while enjoying the magnificent views. We also partook in a wine tasting experience with canapés of some local wines, with Juliano giving us lots of info and also being great company. Stellenbosch was an easy 5 minute drive and Franschoek around 40 minutes through fabulous scenery. We went on a Friday which was market day where the quality of goods on offer were great. We spent 3 nights here at the beginning of a 2 week holiday around the Cape and are already planning our return with at least 5 nights at Devon Valley.

Beautiful views

It is close enough to Cape Town and Stellenbosch, but isolated enough to really feel like a break away.

Beautiful garden, outside restaurant and rooms.

We were pleasantly surprised to arrive at ‘Devon Valley Hotel’ to find an establishment surrounded by lovely gardens and fine views over the valley and vineyards. Having presented ourselves at reception we were assisted by a very capable and gracious young man named Wayne and offered a glass of refreshing wine. The accommodation was spacious, perfectly clean, stylishly decorated with upmarket furnishings and finishes and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely supper in the attractively styled restaurant that overlooks the garden before retiring for the night. In the morning - we enjoyed a generous buffet-styled breakfast, with a variety of tasty options. The restaurant staff were helpful and efficient. I can readily recommend a stay at Devon Valley Hotel.

The television set’s picture was grainy and unwatchable. Using the shower caused the tiled floors and toilet to becoming wet. I know it is the trend these days not to have shower doors, but this arrangement is wholy and annoyingly impractical. Failing which - why not provide a squeegee, of the kind I found used all over Israel in bathrooms. Although we declined the offered help with our suitcases, this was a mistake as the walk to our rooms was long and tedious, first through the main hotel, then along the corridor of the annex, over some rather dodgy paving and on to the far side of our block.

Location was good and easy access to local facilities Breakfast was a little disappointing as if you arrived after 900am. Heated item's were dried up and not hot.

Lunchtime was somewhat hectic with delays due to convention meetings.

Love the view and the tranquility that the place has to offer

Nothing

We stayed with a large group of friends. DVH was a great location for us with enough space, cost bar to meet for drinks, good restaurant, great views

The pool needs to be looked after, not a cozy setup. Hotel wanted to shorten our stay or move us to different rooms during stay. Luckily we booked through booking.com which gave the hotel less possibilities to kick us out/around. At the end they apologized.

Trevligt bemötande, men vi fick inte så mycket info utan vi fick själva fråga oss fram till diverse. Trevligt med välkomstdrink. Mysigt ställe. Stort och fint rum. Fin liten altan. Stort badrum med både badkar och dusch. Minus för att det inte fanns något duschdraperi. Nu kom det vatten över hela badrumsgolvet. Det fanns ingen toalettborste. Minus för att det inte fanns något kylskåp. Det skulle väl vara 4-stjärnigt hotell? Tråkigt att det inte var städat runt eller i poolen. Bra frukost med väldigt god äggröra och müsli och yoghurt. Servicen i restaurangen var väldigt långsam. Jättefin utsikt.

Friendly welcome, staff were excellent. Beautiful view of the Stellenbosch valley. Close proximity to all restaurants and Stellenbosch City.

Location, landscape gardens, decoration, size of the hotel.

Staff at dinner time looked tired and we did not receive best service. Reception staff did not know much about surrounding facilities.

The Barman was excellent, and the waiters once we asked them to serve us, then they were very good. The staff and management made it very special for our 40th wedding anniversary after we spent our honeymoon at Devon valley in 1984. This was really appreciated and their friendliness and of course meeting us with Edgar again who is excellent!

There was a very odd coffee table in our bedroom that was just way too big and out of place, but otherwise it was extremely comfortable and pleasant. Very satisfied and thank the Devon Valley staff!

We had a fantastic stay at The Devon Valley Hotel. It offers a serene escape with stunning vineyard views and the Helderberg Mountains as a backdrop. Our room, although small, was elegantly furnished and had a spacious shower room. The staff provided warm hospitality and the food/wine was exceptional. The secluded outdoor pool and beautiful gardens were fantastic too, and offered a peaceful retreat after a long day cycling around wineries. Highly recommended for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

The rooms with two beds while alone is not recommended Just one person per one room.

Staff on reception and kitchen They are very kind and cooperative.

The setting and graciousness of the buildings

Entrance not well marked from road Staff could’ve been more helpful with carrying luggage

the room was plush and great we literally needed the room for one nights rest we checked in late and left really early so there is not much more to add.

nothing

We Checked in and pd upon arrival on a Sunday night Hotel weren’t busy We got to our room, and it’s not as advertised, the room weren’t up to standard and was dirty and had a strong smell of urine. He took our bags and went back to reception We asked if they can refund us, as we not going to stay there She said, unfortunately not, but we can have a different room. We said we not going to stay there. We contac the after we left to check if the can refund us as there were no loss of costs to them, still awaiting their reply
