De Hoek Manor

Surrounded by National Heritage buildings and streets lined with beautiful oak trees, the 4-Star De Hoek Manor in the historic centre of Stellenbosch provides guests with all the modern conveniences you might come to expect from a superior accommodation offering.

Whether you are visiting Stellenbosch for business or leisure, you will find De Hoek Manor within easy walking distance of the town’s cafés, restaurants, cinemas, designer boutiques, museums and curio shops.

Being a traditional country manor house, the establishment is part of the DCC Hotel Group, which featuers several other luxury accommodation properties ranging from the Cape’s West Coast to the Kruger National Park.

The town of Stellenbosch originated amongst the historic buildings surrounding De Hoek Manor, yet the country atmosphere persists. For several years, De Hoek Manor has delighted both international and local travellers.

Accommodation at De Hoek Manor

In terms of accommodation, De Hoek Manor has five spacious en-suite bedrooms. Guests can choose between the Vineyard Room, the Historic View Room, the Old Oak Room, and the Garden Room.

Despite the angled roof, the rooms are spacious with the roof beams only approaching the floor at the edge of the rooms. The two Superior Rooms are 20 square meters in living space while two of the Deluxe Rooms are 18 square meters in size. The other Deluxe Roo is located on the ground floor and offers 16 square meters of living space.

Each room accommodates two people and the King-size beds can be converted into two separate beds upon request. Each room is furnished with air-conditioning, a smart TV, a workstation, underfloor heating, a mini bar and a tea and coffee station.

The carefully-selected furnishings and linen complement the high ceilings, sash windows and attractive views.

The area may be bustling with history, but the facilities at the De Hoek Manor are modern, featuring granite counter tops, frameless glass, polished mirrors and gleaming taps.

Reviews from previous De Hoek Manor guests

“We keep coming back to this excellent small hotel because it’s the perfect place to spend a few days in Stellenbosch. The location is ideal. The staff are first class. The rooms are extremely comfortable. The breakfasts are delicious. Shops, restaurants, cafés & brasseries are only 5 minutes away on foot. Just ideal,” wrote Keith on De Hoek Manor’s TripAdvisor page.

Dorothea added: “This was our second time in De Hoek Manor and again we were hosted very well by Ilse and Marianne. Ilse was very helpful in getting our luggage from the airport. They also arranged for us a table at the Delaire Graff Restaurant, a restaurant which is mostly fully booked. We had a nice and spacious room. Breakfast was great with excellent fruits.”

“Very nice accommodation in the heart of Stellenbosch. Run by two lovely ladies who will make you feel at home for sure. Our room was a good size with a large bathroom and also a small terrace overlooking a garden. Breakfast is cooked to order with a continental option. Everything is only a two or five minute walk from the property. Would definitely stay again” said lain.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
