Excellent Gym Experience

During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by the gym facilities. It was spacious and equipped with great workout equipment that I haven't seen in many hotels. I really enjoyed my workouts and felt motivated to keep fit. It truly stands out compared to most hotel gym offerings.

We’ve fallen in love with PH Stellenbosch over the years. The stunning views from the hill and the consistent quality of service keep bringing us back. The deluxe room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, but there were a few hiccups with the dining experience and some aspects of upkeep. Overall, it’s a beautiful home away from home that remains a delight to visit.
