African Tulip Guesthouse

The host, Elise, was very warm and welcoming. We were the only guests there at the time so it was very peaceful. Garden was lovely, enjoyed the pool. We had a problem with the bath plug and TV but Elise was very quick to sort it out. Only down side was the bed was a bit hard and the mosquitos in the room at night. We had to sleep with the fan on as the air con was not very powerful.

We were in Tulbugh for a wedding and we stayed at African Tulip Guesthouse. Elise was very welcoming and friendly. She even helped remove a wine stain on my shorts! The accommodation was spacious and comfortable and Elise provided a delicious breakfast. Highly recommend!

Easy to find accommodation, not far from the main road, but far enough to feel like you're on holiday and won't hear the traffic. Spacious rooms. Clean. Hosts very friendly and happy to help with any advise RE dinner recommendations etc.

Super clean, super friendly host, beautiful location. Reasonably priced. Wonderful place! The host was accomodating and had a wonderful attitude throughout our stay. There's a pool which is great. And the views are fantastic from aroudn the property.

what a lovely place to stay and an awesome host, Elise! The breakfasts were absolutely delicious! The gardens are also beautiful and well maintained. Unfortunately it was not warm enough to take a dip in the pool! Thank you for your hospitality!

Our time was very pleasant, the hosts are exceptional along with everything else. The bagpipes entertainment was an unexpected pleasure. The room was very comfortable and the dining room delightful. Great breakfast. No problems or complaints at all.

We stayed in Tulbagh a week earlier at a much more expensive venue but this guesthouse far exceeded that venue. Better room, great breakfast, great hostess and massive swimming pool- just a few minutes walk from Church Street. Will definitely stay again when visiting Tulbagh

Lovely guesthouse near to Restaurants and shops of Tulbagh. Excellent Breakfast.. Super Host. Expansive bedroom and Bathroom. Animal lovers will welcome on site fostering facility for cats. Nice pool on site,

Always a pleasure to stay at African Tulip. Elise and Frank are excellent hosts, ever helpful and welcoming. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The garden and pool area is especially relaxing. Elise is also able to organise transport to the nearby wineries in the Tulbagh Valley. Another thoroughly enjoyable stay.

We had a great 3 night stay in African Tulip. Absolute top quality, very comfortable room and bed. Lovely garden en pool. Elise made this stay unforgettable. The overall picture is great, the details even better. Will definitely come back.

We stayed here for 2 nights with friends while visiting Tulbagh. We were made very welcome by our hosts, who gave us a lot of useful information about the area. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. We made good use of the pool and loungers, both much appreciated at the end of a day’s sightseeing.

Warm welcome Good Location Animal loving family beautiful Garden with Pool good tips for Restaurants and Sightseeingtour everything was Great and can only be recommended it is Worth making a stop in Tulbagh it has interesting destinations

Warm welcome in this cozy guesthouse. Our Lavender room was very large, with a huge bubble bath (not used by us), spacious shower and separate toilet. The room opens into the guest lounge where there is also a TV. There is a spacious garden with a swimming pool, good sun loungers and a nice bird feeder, which attracts the most beautiful birds. Hostess Elise is practical and cheerful and has many good tips. The pool was not very clean, but that is really a detail.

Thanks so much Elise! We so enjoyed our stay with you. You are a wonderful host and we loved our room. Thank you so much. Oh, and Tulbagh and surrounds a great place to visit - and so picturesque. We felt so at home - and will be back!

This lovely guesthouse is perfectly situated at the end of a quiet dead end street and within easy walking distance to the town's charming main streets. My room was lovely with a huge comfy bed and all the amenities ready and waiting on my arrival. What a special treat it was to have a hot bath in a luxurious washroom after hours of travel. Historic Church Street is well worth the stroll and there are a few lovely restaurant options close by. Elise is a warm and welcoming host and she enthusiastically offered a plethora of sage advice about places to visit in the area. A very generous packed breakfast was provided for my early morning departure and I had a beautiful day exploring the surrounding countryside. There are obviously wine tours aplenty to choose from, but as an alternative, I would happily recommend a visit to Oakhurst Olives for an olive oil tasting. Delightful and delicious. Thank you to Elise at African Tulip for all the wonderful suggestions and for making my stay in Tulbagh such a relaxing and enjoyable one.

What can I say? Location was excellent, the aircon worked, delicious restaurants nearby. We particularly loved the old world feel of the garden and room design. Quirky but fully functional. A good choice!

Very relaxing The breakfast is the best You experience a taste of the Holland spirit the outlay of the house and pool is beautiful Friendly people very helpful and caring I will go back You literally can walk to the restaurants there And experience the history of Tulbagh Experience beautiful sunsets with good wine and food

We stayed for 2 nights at the "African Tulip". First, it was not easy to find, our TomTom Go did not work properly. When we arrived we were welcomed by our host Elise and from the first moment we felt at home away from home.. The house is beautifully decorated, we had a large and very comfortable room and the breakfast was the best during our long trip through South Africa!

This is a stunning facility with excellent luxurious rooms. We booked Plumeria room but Elize upgraded us to Lilly as it had a larger bathroom with shower, bath, twin basins and separate toilet. The shower unfortunately had a small leak but we folded a facecloth and placed it against the leak. Room very spacious and luxurious with kingsize, extra long bed. Some nice cookies were placed in our room to compliment the coffee tea station. We did not order breakfast so I can not comment on this. Elize (owner) was very accommodating and recommended things to do and restaurants to visit in and around Tulbagh. Even received a small snack to enjoy on the road. Safe undercover parking and free wifi was very helpful. Thanks Elize, you are a star.

Elise and Frank are lovely and helpful hosts. Exterior is charming and tranquil. My room was spacious and had many good facilities, however as I was travelling on business I would have loved a desk & chair to work from. My stay was really fantastic and I will definitely visit again.
