    It is close enough to Cape Town and Stellenbosch, but isolated enough to really feel like a break away.

    The television set’s picture was grainy and unwatchable. Using the shower caused the tiled floors and toilet to becoming wet. I know it is the trend these days not to have shower doors, but this arrangement is wholy and annoyingly impractical. Failing which - why not provide a squeegee, of the kind I found used all over Israel in bathrooms. Although we declined the offered help with our suitcases, this was a mistake as the walk to our rooms was long and tedious, first through the main hotel, then along the corridor of the annex, over some rather dodgy paving and on to the far side of our block.

    We were pleasantly surprised to arrive at ‘Devon Valley Hotel’ to find an establishment surrounded by lovely gardens and fine views over the valley and vineyards. Having presented ourselves at reception we were assisted by a very capable and gracious young man named Wayne and offered a glass of refreshing wine. The accommodation was spacious, perfectly clean, stylishly decorated with upmarket furnishings and finishes and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely supper in the attractively styled restaurant that overlooks the garden before retiring for the night. In the morning - we enjoyed a generous buffet-styled breakfast, with a variety of tasty options. The restaurant staff were helpful and efficient. I can readily recommend a stay at Devon Valley Hotel.

    Lunchtime was somewhat hectic with delays due to convention meetings.

    Location was good and easy access to local facilities Breakfast was a little disappointing as if you arrived after 900am. Heated item's were dried up and not hot.

    The pool needs to be looked after, not a cozy setup. Hotel wanted to shorten our stay or move us to different rooms during stay. Luckily we booked through booking.com which gave the hotel less possibilities to kick us out/around. At the end they apologized.

    We stayed with a large group of friends. DVH was a great location for us with enough space, cost bar to meet for drinks, good restaurant, great views

    There was a very odd coffee table in our bedroom that was just way too big and out of place, but otherwise it was extremely comfortable and pleasant. Very satisfied and thank the Devon Valley staff!

    The Barman was excellent, and the waiters once we asked them to serve us, then they were very good. The staff and management made it very special for our 40th wedding anniversary after we spent our honeymoon at Devon valley in 1984. This was really appreciated and their friendliness and of course meeting us with Edgar again who is excellent!

    Some weird omissions like no bath plug, due to water restrictions. But I am not aware of any water restrictions currently still in place here, with all the dams overflowing lately.

    Really nice selection for breakfast.

    Just a suggestion - the al carte menu can have more dinner options if you stay more than three nights. Otherwise, a superb setting, perfect for a corporate event or function.

    Beautiful location, just outside Stellenbosch. Loved everything about it. Devon Valley will be my preferred place to stay in Stellenbosch. (Easy access to town and not so busy surroundings or traffic)

    Parking a fair distance from reception. Help was available for the bags - but it still meant a walk back to the car in the rain.

    The property is handy for Stellenbosch and surrounding areas. There is plenty of parking - although some way from the premises. Our room was comfortable and spacious enough. A highlight was the restaurant. Our evening meal was excellent as was breakfast. We had stayed in a number of other excellent hotels over that period - and The Devon Valley food shone above the others.
