Excellent for a base to explore the area / quick stop over / weekend break etc. Superior Rooms were well appointed, clean and reasonably modern (refurbished old slaves quarters) whereas some of the standard rooms were much older / traditional. Manor house is steeped in history, but the general upkeep of the buildings and gardens could do with a bit of tlc / sprucing up here and there - some areas felt a little neglected. But all in all a pleasant return stay and we would recommend Hawksmoor House for future stays at the current room rate.

Perfect Farmhouse Getaway!
Our stay at Hawksmoor house, while short, was beautiful. The property is stunning! It is a 300 year old working farm and every room has so much character. It felt like we were visiting the french countryside! The only thing to note is that this farm is a twenty minute drive from Stellenbosch, which was fine for us. We preferred staying outside of the city a bit and can't wait to come back!

Great food and top notch service
Hawksmoor House was a fantastic last minute deal on Hotels.com. The rooms are large and rustic but with plenty of modern amenities. I would have preferred wifi in the room as I need that while traveling but if that is not a necessity for you, then I recommend this as a great retreat from technology. Great food and top notch service.

Great place to visit
We really enjoyed the 2 nights we spent here. Remember to ask the chef for vegetarian food or fish as he is happy to cook it if asked.

Beautiful hotel with stunning scenery
Stunning country manor style hotel set deep within the wine lands. The relaxed atmosphere, fantastic breakfast and attentive staff all added to a very enjoyable stay. Beautiful scented roses in the bedroom when we arrived and French melodies on in the kitchen. Room was very clean and had a modern bathroom. The only criticisms I can think of are that the wifi only works in the dining room, the slight brownish tinge to the bath water and small frog in the pool which some might find unpleasant, but we relished as typical of a house of this age and style. A fantastic getaway from modern trappings!

Cape Break
Great location and beautiful grounds. Typical older estate type accommodation so not very luxurious. No TV in rooms and had some problems with the running water. Staff are very good and friendly. Great breakfasts on the patio.

WONDERFUL PLACE- VERY PEACEFUL
I spent 3 NIGHTS in total and the staff was great, I was in a business trip and they assisted me steadly, which was deeply appreciated. I will be back for sure, the place is ideal for couples and friends who want to enjoy the beauty of nature. Pierpaolo

a lovely rural guesthouse
We enjoyed being back in our wedding venue after 5years. it is a very quiet and rural place and the weather was terrible and there is not much else to do nearby but we knew this and chose to come for a lovely peaceful night in front of the fire. we were served afternoon tea and cupcakes on arrival on the covered terrace and it was lovely. The communal breakfast area was quite cold and lacked a presence of staff for some time when we arrive. Although we had good service on arrival with the help of our bags I do find it could be more attentive in the morning.

Klassisch kap-holländisch
Hawksmoor House ist ein klassisches, 300 Jahre altes Capholländisches Bauerngehöft. Wir waren zuerst im Herrenhaus untergebracht, dann in einem Nachbargebäude. Beide Zimmer waren ausserordentlich schön. Der Service war sehr freundlich. Zu bemängeln gab es nichts. Allerdings sollten Reisende wissen, dass die Anfahrt über einen unbefestigten Weg erfolgt. Wifi gibt es nur im Herrenhaus. Nach einer Corona-Pause könnte hie und da die Fassade frisch gestrichen werden. Aber dies sind wirklich winzige Details.
