The view was lovely, breakfast was excellent.

Very clean, friendly staff and the most amazing views from the cottages. Within walking distance from a few wine farms. Will definitely return.

Beautiful place with a great view. Staff was super friendly.

Room could do with an update.

We loved staying at The Salene. It is around a 17 mins drive to Stellenbosch and the place is serene and comfy. You’ll find everything you need here. We came in after check in time and this was no problem at all, huge props for this. There’s a few wine farms in the area which are great to visit if you’re not keen on driving too far for one of those. There’s a good variety of breakfast; think of a proper combination of sweet and savory. The rooms are relatively large and the beds are nice too.

DAs Hotel an sich ist toll, Pool und Aussicht fantastisch. Frühstück war auch sehr lecker!

Wir hatten eine cattage/appartment und diese sind gute 700 m vom Hotel entfernt. Wir mussten fahren mit den Kids. Die Apartments sind im Vergleich zum Hotel nicht so schön. Nicht einladend zum verweilen. Aber es ist nur mein Eindruck. Küche hatte nicht mal genug Teller und Gabel für uns 4. (Vllt ja nur in unserer. Es gab 5 weitere) Einiges in die Jahre gekommen.

Absolut falsche Darstellung der Unterkunft durch die Bilder. Diese Bilder sind vom Hotel!!! Wer hier bucht, fällt rein!! Den Blick auf den Pool und dem Hotel hat man nur 5 Minuten beim Check In! Dann kommt die Überraschung: Man muss 5 Minuten mit dem Auto fahren und kommt an 6 Absteigen an. Kleine Unterkünfte, jeweils 2 Zimmer im Kammerformat. Absolut einfach und dreckig. Betten sind durch, morgens hat man Rückenschmerzen! Personal sitzt auf den Treppen herum und unterhält sich.

We loved the breakfast! Was a great start to our day. Also super friendly staff .

We liked everything about the hotel.

Beautiful place. Fantastic rooms. Friendly staff. Stunning vista

A little far out of town but there a shuttle

It was luxurious. Amazing rooms, pool with a view, and close to Stellenbosch centre

Nothing. Absolutely loved it

Wunderbare, ruhige Lage! Traumhafte Aussicht! Etwas außerhalb von Stellenbosch gelegen!

Um die Cottages zu erreichen, muss man mit dem Auto fahren. Restaurant zum Dinner geschlossen.

A cute place with beautiful views

Not much as it was as expected :)

It was 10 minutes drive outside of Stellenbosch, but beautiful views. The unit had aircon and wifi, fully equipt kitchen and Nespresso with compostable pods, which we appreciated. The pool was also lovely, but you need to drive/walk the 700m to the hotel. Wood was supplied for braai and bonfire in large firepit bowls.

Our cottage did not have a patio, while all the others did (#6). Aircon also did not function during loadshedding (understandable), but it was just super hot.

The location was beautiful and the breakfast was really good!

The staff were not helpful, and the rooms were quite small.

View

Windy

Beautiful views and location. Stunning breakfast spread. Friendly staff Comfy room

No dinner available and it’s quite a drive to nearest restaurants. Room wasn’t cleaned the one day but housekeeping manager quickly sorted out the oversight

Hôtel charmant et calme, situé dans les vignes avec une belle vue sur les montagnes. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner !

Tolle Aussicht, schönes Ambiente

Viel verschenktes Potential, fehlende Führung, unaufmerksames Personal, nicht einladendes Frühstücksbüffet und alles außer Filterkaffee kostet extra. Barbetrieb nach 18:00 Selbstservice. Kein Abendessen.

Lovely location. Unfortunately we were there on a very windy day so couldn't enjoy the outdoors. Breakfast was great!

Reception desk seemed a little unmanned. No one there when we arrived and when we went out at night our gate tag didn't work to come back in and no one answered the phone so we were stuck outside until a car left and the gate was opened.

The breakfast was good and the facilities were clean. This destination needs own car.

Either than breakfast, there is limited food choices. There was just one dish and a cheese platter, you cant survive on that. Its difficult to move around if you don't have own car.

Wunderschöne Lage außerhalb, große Terasse mit spektakulärem Blick über die Weinberge auf die Bergkette. Personal supernett, Frühstück sehr lecker, Zimmer normal ausgestattet, Badezimmer war sehr schön.

Nichts

Location, style of building, quiet

Bad communication of staff not informing guests coffee not oncluded in breakfast On our departure, although staff knew road was closed, didnt inform us which resulted in almost bad accident

Lovely surroundings

Farm roads

The property was very chic and beautiful. Our room had amazing views of the vineyards and the surrounding landscape. It was clean and very quiet which enabled us to relax the way we wanted

Absolutely nothing. Everything was excellent

The views were amazing and we enjoyed the fire pit outside. The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed. The staff answered our queries promptly.

It was a bit hard to find the cottage- some more road signs would be helpful.

Breakfast is fantastic

Nothing

First time at a Boutique Hotel as opposed to a chain or standard hotel. A few things were different. Some better, some lacking. The rooms were gorgeous. Decor apart from plastic flowers is beautiful. Gorgeous wall paper and lighting. Comfortable common area with fireplace that heats up the area. Staff are friendly. Lovely and spacious bathrooms - 10 gold stars for that alone. Exceptional view of the mountains. Really beautiful setting. Breakfasts are fabulous. Beds are super comfortable. I've been convinced up to now that my personal bed is the most comfortable you can get. I was wrong. This hotel has excellent beds. Very comfortable and spacious with lovely windows that open wide.

Plastic flowers are a reminder of one of the many ways we fail as a species. They mock the decor put into the hotel. We can always do better than plastic ornaments especially plastic plants. No... Just no! Lol. This is a lovely establishment but I find the boutique experience a bit lacking when I'm comfortable with the standard chain hotels provide. It would have been nice to enter without ringing the intercom twice. A porter to carry my luggage up the stairs was also missed. Definitely missed the phone that calls reception and had to go down to request toilet paper. Also TVs only have DSTV where you watch endless advertisements that tests your sanity. If this was a weekend on my own, that would be a dealbreaker. Most other hotels have Netflix and other options. We had an agenda with wine tasting and dining out so it was excusable but did watch the same car advert 5 times during a Come Dine with Me episode. We also had to wait a long time to book an Uber. Third time lucky with that. Stellenbosch is not Cape Town I know, but the little things make the difference.

Very clean and had backup power during loads shedding - cleaning service excellent.

(A)Not clear signage from Devon valley road to property. (B)Shower taps should be moved slightly in as causes limitations when entering shower . (C)Power point in main bedroom in awkward area.(D) breakfast should be a able to cater in GENERAL for either vegan or add beef for variety - only pork was served (bacon and pork sausages)🥶
