Description

Established in 1802, d'Ouwe Werf is South Africa's oldest and most historic hotel, having defined hospitality and fine dining for centuries. The cultured, sunlit streets of Stellenbosch lie in the heart of the Cape Winelands and d'Ouwe Werf is situated in the historical core of this genteel university town, only 45 km from Cape Town, 20 km from the sea, and surrounded by beautiful mountains.

Our guests enjoy the wonders of the Cape Winelands from the repose of our luxurious accommodation, while the elegant Cape Dutch architecture reflects the refined hospitality to be found within. Stellenbosch is famous as the premier wine region of South Africa. Situated in tranquil Church Street, d'Ouwe Werf retains the graceful ambiance of Georgian style throughout. Soft hues and antique furniture have been tastefully aligned with the comforts of modern living to create a calm haven from which to base your explorations of Stellenbosch.

The inn consists of 32 en-suite bedrooms which are individually styled with antiques collected over the years. Modern facilities and staff who pride themselves on their friendly, personal and professional service, make each visit an enjoyable and memorable one. All bedrooms are spacious and inviting, individually decorated with mahogany furniture and offer a multitude of additional gratuities ranging from the choice of queen, double or twin beds to the complimentary valet parking. The superior and luxury rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished with large bathrooms and separate showers.

The "1802 Restaurant" is renowned for its traditional and international cuisine, and it boasts a wine list that will satisfy even the most sophisticated connoisseur. On sunny days, many guests prefer sitting outside in the vine-covered coffee garden, enjoying a slice of cheesecake. The cosmopolitan menu allies traditional and international cuisine to an extensive wine list that will ensure romantic candlelit dining under a blanket of stars.
