The location and the view
The staff were so welcoming and made the overall experience amazing!!

The friendly host Jimmy was nothing short of excellent. The views were stunning. A great breakfast and very clean and tidy facilities

We had a wonderful stay at Aan de Paarlberg. The property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by lovely gardens that create a relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The staff were welcoming and friendly, making check-in and check-out effortless. The location is excellent—close to Paarl's attractions while still feeling private and tranquil. Overall, it offered great value for money, and we would happily return.
A peaceful, comfortable, and memorable stay—we'll definitely be back!
Breakfast was not nice 😞
The overall place. The bath, and the fireplace in the room was the best
OMG this stay exceeded my expectations from the bath to the fire place and the friendly stuff. The breakfast was more than what I expected. It felt like home and we will mostly be back
Nothing
Did not have any
Steep Stair access to bedroom. Shower unfortunately blocked
We had it to ourselves for a pre wedding
Very spacious for our family. Nice pool with a great view.
It was tricky getting into the narrow parking space.
My big room with aircon and outside area. Lovley nights outside. The coffee was a winner after a long day at sport.
Room 3. There is no microwave and no space in bathroom to towel u down. And no mat for shower when getting out. And the frosted door let in light at night and i struggled sleeping with light.
Mooie b&b met een geweldig uitzicht vanaf het buitenterras. Prima ontbijt en restaurants in de buurt, wel met auto te bezoeken.
Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, gutes Frühstück, tolle Terrasse mit Ausblick. Wir konnten das Zimmer wechseln!
Leider war das 1.Zimmer eher schlicht und lieblos ohne jegliche Aussicht... Es ist recht hellhörig im Haus.
Ein sehr komfortables Bett und ein wunderschöner Ausblick
Die Dusche mach dir keinen sauberen Eindruck. Insgesamt war das Badezimmer viel zu klein.
Great all-round experience.

Все замечательно
Best views and great breakfast! Beautiful spacious room!
Not applicable.
The room was fantastic , with a balcony with marvellous view. Large and really well appointed.
The breakfast wasn’t the best. No milk and no fruit other than apples. Only other thing was it would have been good to have some input from the owner , particularly as the staff, who were lovely, didn’t have good English. We emailed the owner re a query and got no response
The view and comfortable beds
The breakfast
The property was very neat, clean too. The location is also great.
It would be nice if the breakfast offerings had a little more variety
A nice clean property with great views over Paarl and the mountains. Lovely pool area.
My room was a little spartan. While clean and with a comfortable bed, the bathroom was tiny and there were few spaces (apart from the floor) to put things.
The appartment was really nice and had an amazing view on the mountains. The staff was so friendly, they had good breakfast and everything was clean, tidy and they really made us feel like home 😊
Location was lovely Breakfast was good
The aircon was not very cold The blinds let the sun in - right into your eyes early morning If others come back late it is quite noise - not much sound proofing
We liked theEverything we needed for a one night stay
No complaints
Beautiful facilities, beautiful views, lovely breakfast.
Couldn't find anywhere to hang up wet towels or swimwear.
Extremely clean and friendly staff
I didn’t spend much time there as was out for most of the time so I can’t really say anything I didn’t like
Eine schöne Unterkunft, alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Wir hatten ein sehr kleines Badezimmer, aber funktional. Es gab ein einfaches, gutes Frühstück und,das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Ausblick auf Paarl von der Terrasse ist umwerfend, die fantastische Umgebung mit Weingütern leicht zu erreichen. Insgesamt eine sehr gute Wahl und auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.
Unterkunft hatte einen schönen Ausblick, geräumiges Zimmer. Und wir konnten nach Rücksprache 45 min. lönger bleiben beim Checkout.
Man hat das Gefühl, dass man bei einer Familie wohnt, deren nicht besonders freundlichen halbwüchsigen Söhne im Gemeinschaftsbereich auf dem Sofa herumlümmeln und nicht mal grüssen. Außerdem gibt es in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft ca. 4-5 Hunde, deren Bellkonzerte einen IN und um 5:30 Uhr morgens AUS dem Schlaf bellen. Wenig Privatsphäre.
Venue
Toilet space with shower too small a d narrow
This is a lovely place I have ever been, the host was so nice breakfast was so good 😊❤️ would really like to visit again 😊
Clean and large modern room with beautiful views of Paarl valley. Good communication.
I would prefer 1 less firm pillow when sleeping. This is a generic problem with guest houses and hotels.
Nothing
Great hospitality and wonderful venue with beautiful views
The breakfast was great. Loved the views, spectacular. Very friendly staff who were so eager to help. Overall, great experience.
All good, couldn't find anything bad about it at all.
Stunning place, very helpfull staff and owner. My go to from now if I visit Paarl!
Very clean and great comfort! Friendly staff and lovely breakfast! Impressive views!
What an Incredible stay alongside the mountain in Paarl. It was fantastic and was pure luxury staying in that room. Breakfast was amazing and the staff were so friendly. My Little one absolutely LOVED the room and Bathroom and has been asking when are we going back ;) Such a lovely stay and will definitely be going back there again.
The fireplace was great. The bed was comfortable.
It would have been great if a bag of wood for the fireplace was included. A microwave in the room would have also been great. The room was not thoroughly cleaned before our check-in. There were noticeable spiderwebs in the ceiling by the door as you enter the room. The toilet seat was also not fitted properly which made sitting a bit awkward.
Central and close to schools. Good place to stay for interschool derby days and tournaments.
TV didn't work.
Breakfast very nice.The location and view in the morning exceptional.
None
Breakfast was nice, could have an extra packet of coffee and rust in the room for late night
Other Guest made a lot of noise when they returned later the night
Amazing view
Parking and no variety at breakfast
I like that the owner was very kind and accommodating. Really, top service!
Nothing
The view and the room was very neat and clean The layout of the room was good
The breakfast was not worth it at all... The parking is TERRIBLE if you have a big car or a luxury vehicle...
Friendly staff. Great location. Swimming pool
Room 4 shower small and no soap/ shampoo shelf. No towel knob outside shower. No space to pack toiletries. No toilet spray. Toilet running continuously
The accommodation for New Year's Eve was a gift to our daughter who could not go away for the holiday and this review is their report of their stay. They had 2 rooms for 2 adults and a child. They called shortly after they arrived there- telling how beautiful it is: everything from the view, rooms, garden with swimming pool and the area where the guesthouse is. The dining room and verandah are available for guest to eat at night. The New Year was awaited here while enjoying the stunning view of the Paarl valley. Even though it was New Year and most places are short-staffed, the staff were super friendly and check in and parking were without problems. The cooked breakfast was perfect. Cereals were also available. They were fortunate to even have a jacuzzi in their room. The guesthouse was recently renovated by new owners and is highly recommended for comfortable rooms, stunning views and a beautiful quiet area of the town. Value for money!
This is a steep area high up against Paarl Mountain. People who have difficulty with stairs may struggle to use the stairs. There are however rooms at street level with safe parking. It may be a good idea to book one of these rooms and still enjoy this stunning guesthouse
Excellent place to stay. Exceeded all of my expectations!!!
Peace and quiet
Little tweak..by adding a toilet door
Absolutely stunning Very clean staff made sure booking in is a breeze. Beautiful room. clean. Love it that there was save parking and a little court yard right outside our room
With the high standards and beautiful views you would expect an excellent breakfast. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. Very low budget and and inattentive staff. If you looking for a beautiful clean place this is for you! But don't have any expectations when you go down for breakfast.
