The award-winning Eendracht Hotel & Apartments is conveniently located within reach of all that Stellenbosch has to offer the visitor. The Cape Town International Airport is only 35 minutes away.
With a rich history, the hotel epitomises Stellenbosch since its very beginnings when Governor van der Stel camped on the island during his first exploration of the valley of the Eerste River, while the original building – a small two-roomed cottage, was built in 1710.
By the 1960s, that cottage had been changed, modified and significantly rebuilt to become a double-storey student boarding house. The Lutz Trust then reconstructed the building remaining true to the original architectural style, and it became the Eendracht Guest House and now the Eendracht Hotel.
And it is here, in one of the hallmark Cape Country Routesproperties, that guests can immerse themselves in true South African hospitality and comfort. Cape Country Routes is a leading group of owner-operated and managed accommodation and activity establishments – more than 20 privately owned hotels, lodges and guest houses – located on the scenic and historic routes in the Western and Eastern Cape.
All their properties have been carefully selected for their character, charm and romance. They offer the best accommodation and activity options to suit every taste and budget!
It is no wonder, for the past six years Eendracht Hotel has been the recipient of the Trip Advisor’s Travellers Choice Award, and the winner of the 2019 Lilizela Tourism Award for Best Small Hotel in South Africa.
