No riding today. Our John (Engelbrecht) and Lorenzo (le Roux) will fetch you from the arrival doors inside the CPT international airport and bring you and your bike to the first hotel in Stellenbosch. Enjoy your well-deserved rest after the long flight and see other Bolandcycletour participants as they arrive for this casual 3-week bicycle ride through the fairest of all Capes.
Stellenbosch accommodation
We stay at 3x different accommodation venues. Mainly Villa Grande, including all the early arrivals. But we fill up that property and have overflow accommodation at 2 Die Laan (which is at the back of Villa Grande, and also part of the De Haas Luxury Living collection managed by Dewald and his team).
Villa Grande in Stellenbosch
Villa Grande is a warm-hearted Tuscan-style villa situated in the heart of historic Stellenbosch. You’ll find the shuttered façade of Villa Grande at the end of a quiet and leafy cul-de-sac. This elegant renovated 1920’s villa offers a serene retreat within easy walking distance of the diverse attractions this vibrant university town has to offer. At De Haas Living @ Villa Grande, an eclectic decor style lends individual charm to each of the 12 en-suite bedrooms and the ultra-luxurious African Honeymoon Suite, which has its own Jacuzzi bath. And if you feel like dining out, there are many excellent restaurants in the vicinity.
Die Laan 2 in Stellenbosch
Luxury Apartments on the Eerste River. De Haas Luxury Living brings together the historical charm of Stellenbosch with all the luxuries one need in modern accommodation. On the banks of the Eerste River within walking distance from the historical center of Stellenbosch, De Haas luxury apartments are perfectly situated to explore the museums, buildings, and great restaurants of Stellenbosch. Die Laan 2 consists of 8x luxurious Self-Catering apartments, ie The Oak Suite, Aviator, Golfers Rest, Winelands Suite, Protea Suite, Springbok Studio, Mountain Suite, and the River Suite.
Just Joey in Stellenbosch
The guest house is named after the extraordinary beautiful Just Joey rose. This friendly charming guest house is tastefully decorated, in keeping with the romantic feel of Stellenbosch and the nostalgia of the Cape Winelands. Each dawn is greeted with the sound of birdsong and the babbling of the Eerste River as it winds it way along the oak-lined banks. A truly unique and peaceful setting. Just Joey is the perfect getaway for young and old, and offers true South African hospitality to holiday makers and business executives!
