The homestead that calls you back.
San Gabriel Homestead was almost a pleasant surprise during our recent visit to Stellenbosch. The location of the homestead is comfortably close to the main road between Stellenbosch and Somerset West, although you are completely unaware of it when you first arrive on the farm, because you only see the Helderberg and the field around the foothills. You feel as if you become part of the place's history, as soon as you take up residence. The unit where we stayed is tastefully furnished with antique, yet practical pieces, which create an old-world feel. This characterful unit was spotless and had everything one could need. We were greeted upon our arrival by the host and hostess. Some of the friendliest people you can ever meet. A special word of thanks goes to the host who returned an item we left behind with a courier.

A beautiful gem 20 min from Cape Town!
This is an ideal quick getaway guest house! Only a stone's throw from Cape Town, it is far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city to rejuvenate your soul with the beauty of nature. The owners are a friendly couple who make you feel at home and are happy to help with any requests. The units are perfectly equipped with furniture that makes you long for your Grandma, but comfortable and with all the modern accessories you will need. With the mountains, swimming pool and braai facilities, we will definitely visit this guest house again!

Quiet, rural, affordable, safe and tidy accommodation.
We were surprised by the quiet, quaint grace of San Gabriel. The hostess, Trudie, warmly welcomed us and allowed our student grandchildren to join us for a braai. I recommend this place if you want to escape the noisy and busy city.

Ek't baie meer verwag vir die prys.

Translate to English.
Expected much more for the price.
No WiFi, no air con, no windows that can open in the room, no burglar bars infront of windows in the bathroom, we had to close curtains to be able to use toilet (no frosted windows). Constant noise from workers fixing unit nearby. Not the relaxing time in the Winelands we had in mind. Really overpriced considering what you get.

A calm and pleasant three days. We wish we could've stayed longer.
Would recommend Gabriel to anyone as an overnight destination or a place to stay en route somewhere or even for those on holiday. I would easily be able to spend a month or more there. However, it is crucial that more information about the lodge be provided to guests before they arrive like the arrangements about the towels and the fact that the accommodation is closer to Somerset West than Stellenbosch. Otherwise: excellent.

Very beautiful and peaceful environment and accommodation.
We enjoyed our vacation very much. The staff and puppy made us feel very welcome. However, we were told on day 1 that we would be sharing the unit with other people who would also be using the kitchen. They arrived on our second last day. It was really not nice and so we just went out to eat every night. On day 1, Jeanette informed us that she would clean the unit the next day (Friday). However, that was the last we saw or heard of her. The third day we made our own beds. The kitchen was not used. The place has a lot of potential, but sharing with strangers is unacceptable.

Beste Caroll,
Dankie vir die terugvoering. Die kothuise is selfsorgeenhede en word net skoongemaak met aankoms en vertrek. Beddens moet self deur die gaste opgemaak word. Ek is jammer oor die kombuis, ek kan verstaan as dit ongemaklik was. Ons is tans besig om nog 'n kombuis te skep. Kom kuier gerus weer, ons sal julle met graagte ontvang.
Groete,
Gerrida
