278 guests' feedbackFor the second time nice.
Affordable and neat.
Fantastic experience. Good value.
My stay was fantastic.
We got exactly what we paid for.
My stay at the venue was fantastic.
It was ideal to stay at the hospital. When we checked in and they heard I had to check in at the hospital, they moved us to the guest house across the hospital. Truly a caring service.
Actually just slept there, but it was nice. Was my 2nd time now.
Aircon but no remote. No water pressure in shower. Fan provided broken and rattled. Noisy next door neighbours. Noisy dogs next door. Staff not quiet in reception. No outside area to maybe sit and read while waiting to go somewhere. Bed linen old.
Their system is oiled! And the staff is friendly and helpful. Very well located. Pleasant experience. I will use it again in the future.
Close to Stellenbosch University.
Had a wonderful stay. Nicely furnished room. Quiet environment. Good security.
Good service, nice and comfortable stay. Clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend it.
Very nice stay.
Very efficient and neat.
This suited us well for a one-night stay in Stellenbosch. The unit catered for all our needs.
My husband could not sleep on one of the beds as the mattress sagged too much, we swopped and I managed to sleep well. As we have experienced with other BnBs, some owners could think of replacing bedding more regularly.
Visit was lovely, very central, thank you.
Friendly service very helpful.
Neaty and tidy. Had a pleasant stay.
The staff were very friendly and the place was clean.
The room was very nice, Wi-Fi was good and the staff were very friendly. Definitely planning on going back.
All complaints were the neighbours' dog barking all night. The guest house was perfect for my purpose.
I will check in there every time. Thank you very much for your staff's kindness.
Magnolia seems like just the place to be - close to everything and affordable. Would love to stay there when I next visit my daughter.
Neat room, ceiling fans, etc. Everything you need.
Everything you look for in a place to stay the night. No frills. Convenient and safe.
Everything you need.
Nicely located. Value for money.
Only the hustle and bustle of the neighbors and children early on and also the staff, because reception sits at the room we slept in. So you can hear everything that is being discussed.
Everything you need for a quick business trip.
The room has everything you need and it was very neat.
Good location and more than adequate accomodation. Beds are ultra soft, maybe time to change the mattress. Otherwise, nothing bad to say.
Convenient and close to the university and central. I liked the late check-in option. The room has old furniture. It's frugal but comfortable.
Expectation met and value for money.
Stanley at reception was super friendly. Perfect spot for our 1-night stay.
Number of additional amenities I didn't expect i.e. communal kitchenette, etc.
A lovely peaceful place, close to the hospital where I needed to be. Very friendly service. Affordable, clean and tidy. Will definitely spend the night there again and stay even longer.
Service and communication excellent. Parking may be a problem, especially when the guest house is fully booked. Rooms are cutely furnished. A lace curtain in front of the upper windows at room 3 will create somewhat more privacy. Otherwise, all expectations were exceeded. Thank you very much.
Comfortable and convenient.
Parking a problem.
The mosquitoes were everywhere, even in the shower curtain. Too hot to close the windows and during loadshedding, no electricity for fans.
Friendly and hospitable people who work there. There wasn't one battery light that burned dimly all the time, but otherwise there was everything we needed for a night's accommodation.
We enjoyed the stay very much.
We were there for a graduation ceremony. At first only my wife and two sons would remain there - my daughter could also attend and I booked an extra room (only a double-bed room was available at the time) - my daughter and one son had a landed a late flight and only got to Stellenbosch late (after 23:00) by Uber. On arrival we were informed that the last booked room would be in another house - which we were not informed about in advance! To avoid that my daughter would not be alone in the other house and that the Uber would have to find two places, my wife and I decided to spend the night there. What a disaster! The room was neat but tiny (my wife had to get in from my side, as there was no space between the bed and the wall on her side). We also had to steam the clothes and the graduation gown in the cramped space for the next day. The room was easily less than half the size (and was also more expensive) than the double bed room in Magnolia Place. The bathroom was also extremely cramped and the wall to the room next door appears to be extremely thin and not soundproof - we could hear the person next door talking business on their phone! In Magnolia Place itself, it was also strange that facilities (such as the fridge, for example) were shared with other guests. Would recommend as an overnight stay, but not for much longer.
I stayed for one night and the place was pleasant, quiet, clean and central. Has everything one would need for a short or longish stay. The staff was kind and helpful. A generator helped with the loadshedding. Will stay there again.
Accommodation was good, parking a problem.
Room 1 is not particularly pleasant in that it is right by the front door and reception. People walk right by the toilet window (even though there is frosted glass, it's not pleasant) and you can clearly hear all conversations at reception (and wonder if visitors can hear us talking). The shower door cannot be fully closed. The WiFi in the room is very weak, actually unusable. There is too little parking and we heard early morning conversations and struggles from someone who was parked. Tip: The separately sealed tea bags are very cute; it would be even better if there was an indication of the type of tea in each one. It's also convenient that a box of milk was provided, but it was a bit difficult to open without scissors or something similar. But Beartjie's biscuit is delicious! The net effect is that I expected a bit more for R800 worth of accommodation.
The front door was difficult to lock at night which results in guests slamming the door repeatedly at midnight hours on both nights of our stay. Very little emergency lightning during load shedding. Light bulbs missing in room and bathroom. Switches missing on floor standing fan. Photos are shown good representation but if you look closely it is old and needs maintenance and upgrade.
It was a lovely stay, except for loadshedding which is not the place's fault, we really enjoyed it.
Overall good, but: I don't like to post negative comments at all, but there were a few things that bothered me: Communication - Whatsapp is not answered. Difficulty getting in initially. Nobody answers. Even when we were in we had to wait. Unit was not very clean. Windows rattle with the wind - can't close properly. Other than that very good - I see some of the people have complained about similar things.
They were able to reschedule my stay when my hospital visit was rescheduled. The person at reception showed us several rooms as options. The room's heater was broken. There was also a fault with the one light. Internet quality is only so-so.
We would have liked to know in advance if we had to book for breakfast. We thought it was included.
Had to share entrance with other occupants. Boxes stored in hanging cabinets. Smells of dust and no facilities to wash cups or plates. TV programs not interesting or enjoyable to watch on a tiny TV screen.
You see a picture and you book, then you are sent to another house with keys.
I was not impressed.
Parking was a big problem. Our room was at the reception. It felt very uncomfortable when my bedroom was opened by my husband and people standing in reception saw me in my pyjamas. People came to collect furniture to clean during our stay. The room where our children stayed did not smell or look fresh and clean.
Coffee cups in the room were dirty. Shower leaked terribly. No towel rail or soap holders.
Friendly service, with clean tidy room with coffee station, clean bathrooms and peaceful atmosphere.
Received very good service from Estelle and the area is very quiet and very well located for visiting Stellenbosch.
Was ideal for an overnight stay. While we explored Stellenbosch and the Cape.
Real value for money and no complaints. I would recommend the host put in an extractor fan for the kitchen stove as you sometimes smell the food in certain areas when other guest use the cooking facilities (its not major).
Friendly people, very helpful, beautiful place, neat, clean and very wonderful experience.
From arrival to departure only the best.
Paul the caretaker received us and deserves a thumbs up for his thoughtfulness and helpfulness.
Just a few points. No Christian TV channels and no Bibles. Fridge should be defrosted, there was a weird cracking noise every so often which could not be detected where it came from maybe the fridge or something in the cupboard. Basin plug needs replacing, does not hold water. Need TV channel selections.
I will definitely go back again.
The heater in the room was a big plus. Neat, clean rooms and bedding. Will definitely use Magnolia Place again.
Cottage had everything one needs for a short to long stay option.
Magnolia Place is the perfect place to stay when needing to be close to Rhenish Girls' High (and other schools). Our room was all we needed and suprisingly warm despite the chilly weather.
Very good location. Has everything one needs for a weekend away.
Really nice to stay there.
Our atmosphere is calming and privacy is respected.
It was the best value for money, will definitely stay there again in the future!
This is a great place will use them again.
Fantastic location!
Much better than the picture advertised.
Parking is a bit limited, especially on weekends. Well-maintained accommodation with beautiful garden and peaceful atmosphere. Very quiet street in very busy town!
Great service.
The amenities are satisfactory.
Everything was good and excellent, except for the WiFi that didn't work. Thank you very much for the sweets and breakfast packs!
The rooms just need aircon.
Had a great stay at Magnolia. Do it again.
Room was neat, they even had loadshedding light bulbs. Mattress only on the older side.
The receptionist needs special acknowledgement for his friendliness and helpfulness.
Room comfortable. Meets my overnight needs, clean and safe.
Friendly, always helpful and good service, there was everything we needed for our 7 day stay, safe and sufficient parking. Will definitely stay there again. Room was just a bit cold with the storm and rain and the asbestos heater on the wall could not heat the room.
Magnolia Place is well located t. oh f. the MediClinic and it was convenient to move between the hospital and the accommodation. There is secure parking for my car.
The facilities are clean and we were received and handled with kindness. Will definitely stay there again and also recommend. Thank you very much!
Clean and tidy facilities. Located close to town. Would recommend for an overnight stay.
After I waited for a while, I had to call the cell phone on the gate. Then the man said I should wait he is at the other house? Then he walked from the other house to come and help me! Get someone at reception if you know there are more guests to check in please! Don't keep guests waiting for a fool!
Neat, warm and nice space in the rooms. Just a bit far from Stellenbosch's town centre.
Magnolia Place has a great location and fit all our needs. We always stay here when we visit Stellenbosch and are happy to recommend them.
Good amenities. Safe. Very good value for money.
Our room was neat and had a lot of space. Bathroom was clean and tidy. We were kindly received upon our arrival.
The place was wonderful, the staff was helpful.
Ideal for Word Festival. Within walking distance of shopping center.
Reception was very helpful and friendly. Parking was quite a challenge this late in the evening. We were forced to park other cars and then had to get up very early the next morning to go and pull the car away.
Very peaceful and neat.
I will definitely recommend Magnolia Place to friends and family. It is really good value.
Bed a bit lumpy and hard.
Everything you need for an overnight stay.
Would go back anytime.
I had a lovely room with a heater. The evening was cold, the room is also a decent size.
Accessible and room is spacious.
The room is well equipped and spacious with a private bathroom. Very neat and safe. The guest house is well located and very friendly service. Secure parking. Definitely value for money.
It was a nice place to stay. It was neat and in a quiet environment which was nice. It has secure parking and I will stay there again if we go to Stellenbosch again.
The one bedroom apartment is too small for 4 adults for whom it offers sleeping space but can also sit outside. The 2 sofa beds are extremely uncomfortable. Bathroom very cramped. 3 plates for 4 people, 1 red wine glass, 1 white wine glass and 1 champagne glass. Duvet covers should have been replaced. Would rather advertise it for 2 persons.
My stay was pleasant and peaceful as there is also a garden with tables where guests can relax. There is a communal self-catering kitchen as part of the facilities. A big advantage is that a shopping center is within walking distance where a grocery store, pharmacy and fast food can be found.
The room didn't have towels and the linen looks about 20 years old. This really can be replaced. Otherwise, the standard was to be expected.
May need some maintenance. TV stations only Openview.
It is difficult to book in. We booked in on two separate nights during our trip. Both times it was difficult to alert the reception desk that we were waiting at the gate to be let in. There is an intercom/bell, but you have to phone the help number to get someone to open up for you. The room we were assigned was on different premises, so the remote didn't work at the reception gate. The receptionist opened the gate as we stepped out of reception, which then automatically closed before we could start the car. Then the whole cycle of phoning to get the gate open began again. Just be warned, the mosquitoes are a pain.
Magnolia Place Stellenbosch Guest House is perhaps good for a one-night stay but not for longer.
Poor reception. No hot water the next morning. No one available at reception to hear about water problem.
Old mansion turned guest house.
Friendly and helpful.
Very nice stay, very tidy. Peaceful, quiet area. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much.
Stellenbosch is central so it's nice to drive in a different direction every day and see places.
I was a teenage boy of 18 who went to visit alone, I was well received and felt very much at home. Room was very comfortable and clean.
Friendly, professional staff. One small problem: not enough parking.
It was only a pleasure staying at Magnolia Place. It was much more than I expected and a special thank you to our host, Stanley, for making us feel at home and for his friendliness. Hope to stay over soon.
Comfortable overnight accommodation before the long road back to the North.
Value for money, good location and safe. Would definitely recommend them
The room was very neat and clean and the reception and check-in with Stanley's help was comfortable. Will use the place again.
Good location for the purpose of my visit, thank you very much.
We did leave the premises on Sunday and no one was available in reception to check us out. There was also another guest earlier in the morning who couldn't get someone to sign out. Other than that, visiting Magnolia Place was a pleasant experience.
Friendly staff and spacious home, very peaceful environment.
Comfortable rooms, neat and clean. Centrally located. Well equipped, there is everything. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Checked in easily and the room was neat and well appointed. Feel cozy when you walk in. Will definitely stay there again.
Very good service with a lot of hospitality.
Perfect place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Good value for money for a stay in Stellenbosch.
We would recommend Magnolia anytime and would be happy to use their accommodation again.
Neat, safe, beautiful area. Value for money.
Very neat place. Parking is a bit of a problem, you can easily get stuck. The place was very neat and clean. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear the neighbors and they can wake you up snoring but you can't do anything about it and you can't change the place. It should only be mentioned that certain places have a bathtub shower. But overall a nice place to spend the night. The porridge and biscuits are a plus point.
My wife is obsessed with the beautiful old wooden furniture in spiekeries condition.
Would have liked a bit more privacy from other guests - rooms are very close together, share kitchen areas. Was able to use braai facilities and they had no problem with our children visiting with us that night.
Good, basic and affordable accommodation. Our room's shower does not drain the water well, the drain needs to be cleaned.
Our third visit to Magnolia Place and once again a winner. Definitely value for money. The small kitchen area with coffee, tea, biscuits and porridge is a bonus. Unfortunately the parking is a problem and we were stuck parking the morning of departure.
My only complaint would be that it was very noisy. My room was in the front right behind reception. The noise of cars parking and guests coming and going and holding loud conversations made sleep difficult.
Was ideal for me and my son. We even enjoyed just being in our room too. Were fantasies!
Place was neat. Friendly reception.
The shopping center and especially the fantastic Super Spar close by was also a big plus.
Share home with others in separate rooms. Room was neat and clean.
Staff friendly and helpful. Very good location. Safe and close to shops.
Everything was fine, thank you very much.
Upon arrival we were welcomed by the host. Had no problems with the check-in process. For the price you can't expect much more, we checked in late, and basically just needed a place to sleep for the night. The place was neat and clean.
The parking is a problem. There is too little parking for the amount of rooms they occupy. We were almost parked the morning we had to leave early. The bathroom curtain is not sufficient. Other guests can "see" you when you use the bathroom. The WiFi didn't work either. We and other guests struggled with it. The room we used (Room 1) is not very private. The rest of the stay was pleasant.
After waiting 90 minutes for the staff to finish cleaning the room, we eventually were allowed to relax after a long journey. The rest of the stay was fine. Better TV channels would have been nice for the evenings.
Rooms were neat and clean. Self catering kitchen a plus. For older guests, stairs can be a problem - quite steep and high (especially when moving with luggage). Would like an air conditioner in room as it is very stuffy and hot in room.
Would like to have milk in room if one wants to make coffee. I ordered breakfast but could not find an invoice for it. And the shower door is broken.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay from the time we were booked in until we left. The staff was friendly and so helpful. We enjoyed the braai facilities and our secluded courtyard. The fact that the house is walking distance from the mall was a bonus. We will definitely go back.
Nicely located near the town.
It was good value for money, everything was tidy. The WiFi was a bit rotten.
Stayed and slept very well, the braai area is nice and the rooms are clean.
It is quite not easy for persons over 70 to carry their luggage up two sets of stairs to the room.
Very pleasant. Quiet and peaceful.
Good value for money, but you always get what you pay for!
Clean, neat. If other residents are not nice, it can affect you.
Suggestion is to mark parking spaces with room numbers and mark lines on the ground. There was not enough parking for everyone because some of the guests were crooked and standing across two parking spaces.
It was a last-minute booking, but still had to pay full price.
We have used the guest house twice or so in the past. Our visits were very pleasant and peaceful each time. The room is still neat and clean. Beautiful and peaceful environment. However, we were very disappointed this time for the following reasons: 22:00 visitors from the person in the room next to us knocked loudly on our door and simply tried to open the door, at least 3 times. We were already in bed trying to sleep. From the same room next door there was a loud chatter. I am there for a peaceful night's rest in a peaceful area. After a phone call, at least someone came out and came to talk, but it didn't help much. According to guest house rules posted at reception, guests are not really allowed to receive visitors in their rooms and it sounded to us as if the guest in question had quite a few visitors late at night. The next morning when we wanted to check out and leave we were stuck and no one in sight at the reception desk to assist us. Even called the number on the website a few times and rang the bell with no answer. After quite a while, the people who stuck us in the parking lot left and we were finally able to get out.
I booked a room with its own bathroom and it wasn't like that. Full amount was paid in advance, but on arrival my reservation was registered in another person's name.
First move to other location. Apparently advertised unit was full. Wanted to book for breakfast but was told they were already full for breakfast. Could not find invoice; still waiting until today. TV didn't work, they had to call someone in to get it going. WiFi did not work at all, was told that room in back of house could not pick up WiFi. Shower didn't work. There was no plug in the sink. Worst of all, drunken loud people were partying there all night. I called for someone to help, but it didn't happen. We drove thousands of kilometers to visit the Oak City and this was my daughter's first experience. Neither she nor I will easily go to Stellenbosch again! Definitely would not recommend Magnolia.
I have stayed here before and find it very convenient to serve as a base. As before, the room was perfect and I was kindly received. It's very close to Stellies' CBD area and it's central to the winelands or if you have someone at Mediclinic.
Well equipped, comfortable.
Had a wonderful stay. Maybe more power points in a convenient place e.g. for hair dryer.
Some of the mattresses have only been slept through a little. Other than that it was very pleasant. Thank you very much.
Comfortable place. Would recommend.
It was a nice home. The security was good. Only the freezer could not make enough ice cubes, thought maybe there was something wrong - but the stay was good.
Room is neat and clean, and the space in my room was lovely. You can't really hear the other guests in the guesthouse. It's also very central to Stellenbosch's town, the Medi-Clinic and the university. I'd stay here again.
Property is well located. Close enough to Dorpstraat. Good value for the price.
Was a good experience and met my needs.
I can recommend Magnolia and will go there again myself if the opportunity presents itself for me to stay in Stellenbosch again.
Everything you need on a pocket-friendly budget.
Used the place several times already.
Lovely place, convenient for us. Good area. But there was no air conditioner as stated and the worst thing was the mosquito that kept us awake most of the night.
Peaceful and serene. Loved the close proximity to town and shops.
I would definitely recommend Magnolia for accommodation. Well located, quiet environment, neat room and safe. Definitely value for money. Thank you, I had a great stay.
Super friendly staff. Room was spacious, very clean. Had a homely feel.
I would recommend Magnolia guest house anytime, it's neat, clean, staff very friendly, peaceful area, it's just the best of all the places I've had to stay, thank you very much.
Magnolia Place was the ideal stay for me. It's close to amenities without being too close to the town's traffic. I would definitely stay there again.
That was such a nice place and quite. They were very friendly people and nice to meet them. Thanks so much for my stay.
It was a very pleasant experience staying there. Everything went well and we had a great time.
See stars.
Friendly reception. Relax in the small garden in front of the room.
See rating.
It is value for money compared to many other places in Stellenbosch. The workers are helpful and very friendly.
The apartment is super neat and very well equipped. We had a very nice stay. Thanks for the extras (milk, rusks, breakfast cereal, sweets on our beds). We see it and we appreciate it.
Very easy to check in.
Thank you, enjoyed it very much.
Beautiful house. Had a great stay, spacious room. Clean and neat.
Accommodation is comfortable, clean and the staff friendly. Rooms are spacious and offer breakfast snacks and coffee/tea or biscuits.
I was generally happy with the accommodation. The only thing I would say is it would have been nice to know upfront that my accommodation was in what was called an annex and not Magnolia Place as advertised. I was rushed for time so it was a little bit inconvenient. That aside, the room was clean, I liked the secure off-street parking, and the staff who I had contact with were friendly and helpful. If I am in the area again I will definitely use it again.
Magnolia Place fulfilled our expectations. We were very glad about the safe parking behind the gate and will stay there again in future.
Close to shops and some restaurants. Internet coverage was weak though in room 18. Very nice and safe place to stay, close to amenities. Very good value for money.
We were pleased with Magnolia's reception and friendly help. Think the location is perfect in such a beautiful setting. We were close enough to walk for shopping as well as a quiet walk nearby before sunset.
Friendly, fully equipped.
A quiet place and very clean. No complaints. A wonderful place to be satisfied with. I stay at the same place most times, because it is very comfortable.
Nice for me rest and peace. There are very friendly people ND the staff. There are goid work place to be clean perfect.. Wish more than often place to stay. TX manager..
The place is quit good and clean. Love to see more often day and night. It is very peaceful. I would love to cook on my own. Hope you get the mini hot plate. Thank you so much. For me it is safe there.
See stars.
The room was clean and neat.
It is a very peaceful place. Place is very neat and clean. The service was top notch. We will definitely visit again.
The friendly and helpful reception from Paul on our arrival was exceptional as we arrived late at 20h30. The fact that we were catered for right across from the hospital made it possible to walk for visiting times. It was very convenient. Accommodation was satisfactory in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
Very neat and clean. Quiet area, yet central.
Magnolia's staff is amazing. It was our first time at a guest house so we didn't know what to expect or if it would be worth it, but we will be back.
I had a great time at home here. Will definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.
Quiet environment and safe, easy to find not too far to search. Location is great. Worth money.
Very nice and clean accommodation with a beautiful garden and location close to shops and places to eat.
Great place, would definitely use again.
Room has everything needed, even built-in kitchenette and air conditioning. Very nice stay.
Very peaceful place to stay with neat rooms and beautiful gardens. Value for your money.
See stars.
Our stay with Magnolia Place Stellenbosch Guest House was really nice. We stayed for only one night, but I would have loved staying there another week! The service was really nice!
Good base, small things that are short - no salt, there is pepper, TV does not have a remote, WiFi signal is very bad.
It was a nice quiet weekend. We were very warmly welcomed, services were top, place was nice and clean. We will definitely visit Magnolia Place again.
The hostess and staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is served quickly and hot, the room was tidy and the bedding very clean and the bed very comfortable. Secure on-site parking is very good for your mind so you can sleep peacefully. Nicely close to the shopping center.
It's nice and comfortable, neat, staff are helpful, breakfast is nice and hot.
Comfortable braai facilities, self-help kitchenette, helpfulness and good service. Friendly staff who go out of their way to make your stay comfortable, provide advice on the surroundings and make amenities available for a function.
The place is very secured and good for family. We felt like we're home. Is near shopping complex and the beach. Mall. We enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff.
The shower had very poor drainage.
It was very pleasant. And location was good, especially if you have a car.
Good reception. Very neat and clean.
Bedding was old and not up to standard at all. Furniture was old fashioned. No place to put down toiletries in bathroom. Was very noisy during the night - people were moving in and out during every hour which was very disturbing.
Magnolia Place is a very neat, well-kept guest house. The service was excellent and everything was perfect.
The rooms are very nice and tidy. Everything is well laid out and the cereals and tea and so on very nicely packaged. The house is in a nice and quiet area and very close to a small shopping center.
Comfortable, quiet, clean, safe and professional reception.
All the necessary facilities to make your stay enjoyable.
Really enjoyed it and would use again as an option.
Even allowed us to check in earlier to finish in time for the wedding we were attending. Was also helpful in booking our return flight.
Reception was good. My mom is not too comfortable with stairs and the lady immediately assisted by moving us to the ground floor. Ideal for a short stay.
Would recommend anytime!
We frequent Magnolia Place, our number one choice for accommodation in Stellenbosch. Perfect location and walking distance from the shops and fast food restaurants. Always clean, neat, and helpful staff. See you soon!
Very friendly reception. Excellent rooms. We were impressed with the neatness and the safety.
We were greeted very friendly and showed around in a quick and sufficient manner.
Please see the stars.
We had to visit someone in hospital. Walking distance. Safe area. Good stay.
Beth and Paul were most welcoming. Went out of their way to ensure our comfort. Very warm and hospitable. My accommodation of choice in Stellenbosch.
Neat accommodation. Good location. Friendly service.
We kicked off the Woordfees with a lovely night's rest at Magnolia Place Guest House and will certainly use their services again in the future. Very effective service without being a bother or in the way!
Friendly service, neat and clean room, had a great night's rest, centrally located. It was a wonderful stay, hope we can do it again soon.
This is a good guest house and value for money. It is in a quiet and tidy street. It is very well maintained and with very good service. Calm, helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. It is striking how well equipped the guest house is. It is about two or so kilometers from the town center and even though Strandweg is busy, the traffic flowed quite well during peak hours. We will stay there again.
Very impressed with the rooms. Nice and central location.
The small self-catering unit is ideal for a 1-2 night stay. Close enough to offices and the Stellenbosch town area.
Everything you need for a night or two's sleepover. Everything was neat and clean, the service was friendly and helpful. Air conditioning would have helped a lot with the heat! Will definitely use the accommodation again.
Your visit to Stellenbosch starts well when you check in at Magnolia!
Good facilities, just a shame the room didn't have an air conditioner in the heat of January. Shower door is just wobbly and has tendencies to fall off.
See the ratings.
The room was neat, but the aircon and TV didn't have any remote control, so we couldn't switch them on. The TV wasn't the worst, but it was extremely hot, so we would have liked to use the aircon. Furthermore there was no coffee to make when we woke up, only tea, but we prefer drinking coffee first thing in the morning. We didn't have anything to eat or drink before leaving.
Great location, neat and affordable.
I will not use Magnolia again unless air conditioning is installed. Place was clean and tidy and staff friendly and helpful. The shared kitchen invades privacy and would prefer a private kitchen. The guest house was full on Saturday night and there was insufficient parking.
Pleasant experience. Tidy. Well located for parents visiting or dropping off students. Close to shopping centre, very safe and friendly reception.
Everyone is busy cleaning very early and busy with day tasks from 6:30. The garden is water sprayed right in front of my window. My room was right at the back which was nice and private, but such a narrow entrance that I couldn't walk past with my suitcase and hand luggage: first one and then another. This after a long day on the road. Your rooms are comfortably furnished and everything was clean and essential.
Very happy about the fans in the room. All facilities sufficient. No reception at home, but at Magnolia originally.
See e-mail sent to you on 11 January
Still awaiting the reply if breakfast was included or not - no milk in the room so no coffee or tea could be enjoyed. Was awoken at 5.30 in the morning by another guest knocking on the windows requesting to be let out the main gate as they "locked" their keys in and could't get out at the main gate.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Magnolia Place's Saffraan street venue. The place is well situated for the traveler, but not in the buzz of city noise. The staff knows how to make you feel welcome and was very accommodating of us cycling guys requesting extension of departure time in order to shower after the race. The rooms are adequate with enough utensils and equipment to facilitate a relaxing stay. I will definitely return and have already recommended Magnolia Place to friends and associates.
Good value for money in an excellent neighborhood in Stellenbosch. Will definitely stop by there again.
Good location, close to Stellenbosch's town centre, yet tucked away in a quiet street.
Clean and tidy - no criticism!
The service was friendly.
The annex where I stayed was very comfortable, the reception friendly and I, as a single, older woman, felt safe.
Nice, tidy accommodation in a very quiet area. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely come again.
The communal kitchen/s were uncomfortable in terms of noise and privacy. Privacy in regards to the bathrooms where people just sat and smoked under the stalls was also curtailed. If we were to decide not to use Magnolia again, it would be because of the points mentioned.
Clean, tidy, well located and friendly hosts. Very nice stay. I would be able to recommend it.
Rooms need proper cleaning behind and under the beds.
Lovely spacious rooms. Only needs a tub to bathe small children and babies. We will definitely stay there again.
The shower curtain above the bath kept falling down and then the whole bathroom was under water.
However, it was "hidden" at the very back of the yard. No kitchen or washing up facilities.
