Vinistrella

Very peaceful, clean and unique - being able to interact with all the rescue animals (horses, goats, dogs, geese etc) is awesome. Jan (the gentleman that owns the property) is such a great guy, lovely to chat with and he is so lovely with his animals. 10/10 experience staying here.

This is the most beautiful appointed and converted Stables, a home away from home. Jan and Ella are extremely accommodating and wonderful hosts. I can highly recommend Vinistrella, you will leave a changed person. I will definitely book again for a longer period.

The location is beautiful and great to have animals around. This wasn’t including any meals.

The cold! We arrived to a lovely warm fire but no wood to add to keep the place warm. Once the arrival fire died down it got extremely cold and there was no other heating and concrete floors made it very cold indeed. The weather was very windy and raining and we didn’t know where to buy wood until a couple days later when I asked again. The fireplace required extra small sized wood too. It would have been perfect if wood was provided or more rugs on the floor for comfort. I’d say this would be 100% perfect in the summer time.

I loved our stay, it was comfortable, and beautiful. The cottage is amazing and the hosts are wonderful.

The breakfast was superb 👌 I especially enjoyed the fresh, sun bathed setting every morning. The location was perfect for me as it is within easy access to the local gym, shops and restaurants. It makes it easy to explore the various tourist attractions including the local beaches, beautiful sun sets around the corner at Chapman's Peak, Hout Bay, Simons Town etc.

Stunning place and facilities. Very spacious

EXCELLENT, FRESH AND WELL PRESENTED. GREAT VARIETY AS WELL.SUPER FRIENDLY AND INFORMATIVE OF THE AREA

NEEDS A SHELF IN THE SHOWER.

I stayed here with my two children, and we are absolutely thrilled! The hosts are incredibly warm, attentive, and truly wonderful people. You can immediately tell that they put so much love and effort into making sure their guests feel completely comfortable. The accommodation itself is an absolute dream – extremely clean, cozy, and decorated with so much attention to detail. There is a beautiful terrace from which we could feed the horses with carrots – an absolute highlight for my children! The animals on the farm are all fantastic: super friendly, affectionate, and well cared for. And then there’s the sunset – simply magical! The atmosphere here is so special that you never want to leave. We felt completely at home and can say with certainty: We will definitely be back! Thank you for this unforgettable time!

The location is perfect for what I needed, and the room is well appointed. The breakfast was excellent. I will stay there again.

A streelight shines into the room right onto the bed.

Great welcome and open and friendly conversations with fantastic breakfast. I had dietary requirements that were asked for and then surpassed. Owners are all about you, the customer.

The hosts were fabulous and so helpful and have a wonderful kind approach to life. It’s such a great location I was sad to only stay one night and would love to go back!

Very peaceful & quiet, lovely kitchen full of everything you could ever need, spacious

not walking distance to cafe or shops, although the hosts offered to ride us to get anything we needed

The property is easy to access, it is spacious comfortable and very clean. Loved the rescue animals and the friendly owners. Nothing was too much for them. We felt very safe at all times and the breakfast they made for my husband after a last minute request was delicious. The outside cooking area is lovely and the braai for the exclusive use of vegans is a very considerate and welcome addition. Jan and Ella are incredible hosts and knowing that they care for neglected, abused and abandoned animals is an excellent reason to support them - in addition to the very quaint and comfortable cottage, the bed was very comfortable, providing excellent support and giving us great nights sleep.

A mirror in the bedroom would be an excellent addition. A completely enclosed toilet would make the stay more comfortable. In very hot weather, guests would appreciate an air conditioner.

One of the top places we have stayed in terms of size, and feel, and cleanliness, and all else really.

Nothing to dislike

The facilities on offer where top class. The hosts where amazing, flexible and extremely friendly. The property has live animals and gives a real homely feel.

Great accommodation, in an idilic setting, conveniently located on Noordhoek, at about 20' on foot from the Village open mall (restaurants, cafes, pub, shops, kids play area.) The hosts are execptionally professional, kind and multilingual - a pleasure to deal with. 100% recommended

Breakfast and location was amazing

Can honestly say I had no issues

Location was perfect for us near our friends in Noordehoek

The bed was a little bit hard but otherwise everything was perfect.

Amazing and friendly owners and the dogs and horses too - loved hearing about the future plans and how the interior of the cottage has been upgraded. Shower was great Load sharing not an issue Owner let us burrow her hairdryer Towels changed after 3 days Fan to cool us down available on request

I liked everything about the place , it was quite and the hosts was great

It was stunning with a little farm of rescue animals. As a horse lover, this was perfect for me. Very peaceful stay

The hosts were friendly and kind. I loved all the animals on the property of which most has been rescued and are living a fantastic happy life now. The breakfast was the cherry on the cake with beautiful cutlery and crockery and flavourful food that was beautifully presented.

The hosts were great people. The animals were a treat!

There was nothing we did not like.

Loved our stay at Vinistrella. Jan and Ella were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely apartment overlooking the paddock and distant hills. Would happily stay again in the future

Nothing

Lovely cottage with nice country feel

Unfortunately, we had load shedding, not the hosts cause, but due to this, it could not have coffee early in the morning or make a hot bottle for our grandchild, host however did bring hot water and coffee at 9am. Suggest having a small gas stove for these Eskom moments.

The breakfast was excellent. I am sorry I was not able to have it every day due to other breakfast commitments. The hosts could not have been more helpful or friendly. The location was excellent as well.

The duvet was too heavy for the weather. It would have been helpful to have a loose sheet under the duvet.

Everything was lovely at this place. Peace and quiet.

Nothing not to like.
