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.
