Description
Oude Werf (the old Churchyard) is South Africas oldest hotel, built on the site of its first church in the Wine capital and university town of Stellenbosch . Since 1802, this country inn has been extensively rebuilt, with most recent renovations turning this national monument into a deluxe modern hotel that still retains its historic ambiance and easy, personal hospitality .
Modern meets Vintage throughout the Hotel, which steps past a Georgian-style facade into its inn-house, and beyond, to the vine-covered courtyard and interior of a newly-designed restaurant . An adjoining vintage-styled bar and lounge spills out into a shady central garden and pooldeck .
The Hotels has 58 rooms of various sizes overlooking the garden, restaurant and Church Street . These are decorated in an easy, contemporary style, subtly combined with period-inspired details and offer king, twin or double beds and en suite bath + shower or shower-only layouts . Standard deluxe features include satellite TV, high-speed internet access, wall safe, tea/coffee-making facilities and mini bar stocked on request .
Dining at Oude Werf has been a Stellenbosch must for 2 centuries . Chef Albert van der Loo continues a tradition exploring the many flavours of the area, and its top wines . Country-style breakfasts, casual lunches, hearty dinners or high tea can be enjoyed indoors or out in a unique new eatery that features an in-situ kitchen, running water and a shady vine-covered courtyard .
Centrally located, the hotel is a stroll from many leisure experiences - the cafes of Church Street, museums, galleries, architectural and heritage sights . Board a shuttle to one of 150 wine estates outside the town . Book a wine-drive safari . Hike or peddle through a mountain reserve, or golf at a premier course . Explore beyond to towns like the gourmet capital of Franschoek, the beaches of Gordons Bay or to Cape Towns city and Peninsula, 45 km away - excursions which can all be arranged by the Hotel .
