Beautiful farm atmosphere, friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Decor and linen needs a bit of a boost, there is no theme and looks if bits and pieces was used to fill the room. I would also prefer small individual packed shower gel and shampoo.

Response from Charlene on 5 Feb 2020
Thank you for staying with us and for your review. We did away with the small shower gels and shampoos as we try and keep the room rates down. These small things are actually very pricey. Decor is such a personal thing..some like my style others hate it..at the end I spend money on good mattresses and hope people will look pass my style of..nothing should fit together,,, Wishing you a bright future Charlene

A lovely house in a peaceful place with a picturesque backdrop. But what made it exceptional was our host, Chris, and the staff. We truly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave.

Relaxing
Really peaceful. Loved the dogs, it was fun to watch the collie rounding up the hens. The room was a little dark for my taste but saying that it had everything we needed including a little kitchen and a table and chairs to sit outside. Breakfast was delicious and the dining room lovely. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect accommodation in a beautiful location!
AMAZING PLACE TO STAY!! I can't recommend this place enough! The hosts were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Beautiful country setting on a vineyard with a winery just steps away (worth a visit, can wine taste and tour the winery). The room was spacious, the bathroom was huge and they left a free bottle of wine from their winery in our fridge as a welcome gift. Breakfast was a great start to the day.

A Perfect Respite Amid The Vines
This place is simply perfect. We came over from Cape Town after crawling off a ship for a month. We just needed some piece and quiet. Wow. Did we get it. We took the PERFECT bottle of free wine from the room's fridge and went out and sat by the pool. Right over a low fence is the vineyard. It was an absolutely splendid and serene couple hours. Plus a very good dinner and a fine breakfast. It set a new benchmark for what we want out of a place that requires relaxing.

Nice location in a wine estate.
Nice large room. The owner has two very friendly dogs which were happy to cuddle up while you sat on the veranda. Lovely quiet location - you won't be disturbed by noisy neighbours - there aren't any! Very secure. Never before have I driven across a causeway to get to a hotel - it was like a moat to a castle!

Farmhouse/B&B near Stellenbosch
Nice, quiet stay in the winelands near Stellenbosch. Small B&B/farmhouse with 3-4 rooms in the main house and a couple cottages adjacent. Breakfast was good, service was friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable. Driving distance to any restaurants or wineries so you'll need a car if staying here.

Tranquil location
Room decor and paintwork a little tired. Service attentive and friendly. Bathroom adequate, breakfast good, would definitely stay here again because of tranquility. Don't have dinner at Eagle View next door, rather drive to Stellenbosch or Paarl. This is perhaps the only drawback about location, no decent restaurant for dinner nearby.

Beautiful, clean, loved it!
Hotel was gorgeous, out in the middle of Wine Country, wineries all around. 20 minute drive from Stellenbosch. AWESOME breakfast, We were travelling with a toddler, and he loved playing with the friendly dogs and feeding the ducks...they even put out special breakfast dishes for the little one. We noticed the rooms carried noise easily (gotta love toddler lungs)....luckily there was no one else there!! No laundry facilities, had to go into town. Other than that, LOVED IT!

Cute guesthouse, not the perfect date.
Cute guesthouse with a big room, where we felt comfortable. The house is old fashioned, but it all suits very well and reminds me of those old movies with big farm houses in the middle of nowhere. The service was perfect and there are really good wines available to purchase. Only the bed squeaked quite a lot. Breakfast was also good. Unfortunately we were there on the 5th of January, Saturday and holdiday season, so there was no wine tour/tasting or dinner available.

Dear Sabrina Thanks for staying at Hoopenburg. I will for sure take a look at the bed..thank you for letting me know. Unfortunately it is to difficult with staff leaving at 14h00 on weekends to prepare dinner. As far as the tasting room is concerned they close from mid Dec till 1st week Jan..after that the harvest starts and then they work very long hours. Wishing you all the best for the rest of 2019 Charlene

ワイン畑の真ん中にある小さなゲストハウス
マイナスポイントを仮にあげるとすれば、レストランが併設されていないので、ディナーを食べる場所が周囲にあまりなく不便、部屋のトイレがカーテンで仕切られているだけなので少し気まずいことぐらいでしょうか。 優しくフレンドリーなオーナー、美味しい朝食、そして広々とした花が咲き誇る敷地を可愛いワンコたちとお散歩する、そんな夢のような体験ができる素敵なゲストハウスです。

Ideal für Erholungssuchende - romantisch
Das Hoopenberg Guesthaus liegt 15 km von Stellenbosch und 20 km von Paarl. Um Abendessen zu gehen, muss man also mit 15 km Fahrt rechnen, da die Restaurants in der Umgebung um 17.00 Uhr schließen. Es gibt die Möglichkeit, ein vorgegebenes Menü im Guesthouse zu erhalten. Sehr nette Besitzer, schönes Anwesen, gute Weine, toller Poolbereich.

Best stay over on entire 35 day trip
Best stay on a 35 days road-trip through South Africa with about half as many hotels and lodges. Fantastic welcome, wonderful room, great breakfast and overall well-being. Wonderful surroundings, 2 sweet dogs kept us company outside our room at night. Nice pool. Everything was well thought through. Beautifully decorated. We so regret we have booked other hotels and lodges around Cape Town for our weeks stay there. They even have am luxury tent overlooking the small dam and it has a private delightful outside shower. We are seasoned travellers and this is one of the places we will remember. We will be back

Wie Urlaub auf dem Bauernhof ohne Tiere
Das Guesthouse befindet sich in 15km Entfernung zu Stellenbosch, am äußersten Rand der Weinanbaugebiete. Die Siedlung heißt Klapmuts und auf der anderen Seite der Bahnlinie befindet sich das Guesthouse. Man kann den Tag am Pool verbringen und einen regnerischen Tag könnte man im Gemeinschaftswohnzimmer verbringen. Die Betreiberin wohnt im Haus nebenan. Herrlich waren die Aufenthalte im benachbarten Weingut-Restaurant Eaglevlei. Dort ging es gutbürgerlich zu. Familien kamen mit ihren Kindern, oder Paare. Angenehme Ausnahmeerfahrung war, dass dort sowohl Schwarz und Weiß als Gäste verkehrten.

B&B sehr schön gelegen im modernisierten Gebäude. Das Zimmer war sehr groß, modern und sauber mit integrierten Badezimmer. Das integrierte Badezimmer gefiel uns nicht so, ist jedoch geschmackssache. Auch das Frühstück ließ nichts zu Wünschen übrig. In der Nachbarschaft (2min mit dem Auto) ist ein Weingut mit einem sehr guten und preiswerten Restaurant.
