Oude Werf is South Africa's oldest and most historic hotel, established in 1802. It has defined hospitality and fine dining for centuries. Located on vibrant Church Street in Stellenbosch, Oude Werf retains the graceful ambience of the Georgian era, and the soft hues and antique furniture have been tastefully aligned with the comforts of modern living to create a calm haven for all guests. The hotel consists of 38 en-suite bedrooms and six courtyard apartments with the option of self-catering. All the rooms and apartments are individually styled with antiques that have been collected over the years. Modern facilities, and staff who pride themselves on their friendly, personal and professional service, make each visit an enjoyable and memorable one.
Currently, d’Oude Werf is undergoing strategic renovations to bring its 19th century charm into the 21st century. Plans include the addition of hotel rooms, and work to the reception area of the hotel. Careful consideration will be given to ensure the history of the building is protected. The 1802 Restaurant is renowned for its traditional and international cuisine and boasts a wine list that will satisfy even the most sophisticated connoisseur. On sunny days, sit outside in the vine-covered coffee garden, and enjoy a slice of the best cheesecake ever tasted.
Guests can enjoy the wonders of the Cape Winelands from the repose of the luxurious accommodation, situated in the historical core of the university town of Stellenbosch, only 45km from Cape Town. Stellenbosch is famous as the premier wine region of South Africa.
