88 guests' feedbackLovely place to stay.
I want to go back for sure.
The attention to detail goes beyond a 5 star establishment. Highly recommended! The hostess is a fantastic hostess.
This accommodation exceeded all my expectations and the hostess was excellent.
It was a short visit, but the room met all the requirements. Neat, clean, comfortable and the attention paid to the small details is noticed.
Very nice stay, beautiful, safe and comfortable.
We had a wonderful stay in the very nice and very well equipped room.
Very nice place, comfortable and peaceful. We enjoyed the silence and the friendly reception and good wishes when we passed were very much appreciated.
Beautiful place. I would only recommend adding aircon, it was just too hot with the fan.
Merlot171 is well equipped, tidy and provides everything needed for an overnight stay as we used it.
Our daughter was getting married at Langkloof Roses, so Merlot171 B&B was the perfect location! Elsabe was a wonderful host. Thank you!
Breakfast is placed in the fridge which is great, probably best to ask if there are dietary requests. I don't eat meat and the sandwich was a meat sandwich.
Great view from room. Myburg was a fantastic host. Room was super clean and tidy and beautiful! Everything was just great! Thank you very much!
We took the weekend to rest, and that's exactly how we left on Sunday. Rested The facilities in the room are beautiful and well maintained. The view is breathtaking. We were kindly received. Even our room was serviced after one night's sleep. We will definitely come back again.
I had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay here. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
Nice surroundings, owners accommodated our special need.
We were received very kindly, the room was lovely and the location in a very quiet and peaceful area.
The host was exceptionally friendly and also helpful, I recommend him/them to anyone. We had a very nice stay.
Relaxing, nice ambience, everything you need.
I had a wonderful stay. Calm atmosphere.
Beautiful, peaceful estate. Received peaceful reception and good service. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy.
Stayed two nights at Merlot171 B&B, did a cycle race the Sunday. Place was clean to the T. Host explained everything from light switches to security, replies well via WhatAspp when i needed anything. Made my stay comfortable, peaceful. the pool is divine.
The only complaint I have is that the security was not aware of arrival. I would expect them to be notified in advance.
Everything was as promised, everything worked.
Clean, everything you need, everything perfectly clean and working.
Visit was short, was good!
I would suggest that the rules should be stipulated more clearly as sometimes if we are more than 2 that's booking (separate rooms) we (my husband, myself and our friend) came from a wedding and wanted to still hang out in the rooms, but the owner informed us that he will switch on the beams which means you can't hang out if it is after a certain time. This B&B I will prefer for the older type of people.
The biggest surprise was the breakfast provided in the small fridge. So tasty packaged! And a nice pot of flowers next to the bed.
The guest house is located on a beautiful estate and the room was comfortable and tidy. Although we arrived at a bad time (there was an emergency on the estate) the owner still made the effort to make sure we were comfortable and checked again later on the weekend if everything was fine. The breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the little extras in the room. The guest house is a few minutes' drive from quite a few wine farms and restaurants.
I was very kindly received by the owner of the house. Breakfast was sufficient and tasty. I personally had a problem with the WiFi. My phone wouldn't pick it up at all. Host was helpful but we couldn't solve the problem.
Was great. Very friendly service.
The only thing that might count against the wonderful place is that it is within a larger estate, and not a stand-alone unit on the farm.
Just something small, but it will add to your already excellent clean and tidy rooms if you can maybe just mop or vacuum the floors every 2nd day! But otherwise no criticism!
We had 3 double bedrooms, all very well equipped. The host explained everything nicely and provided information about the environment. Can definitely recommend Merlot171 even though we only slept for 1 night.
The service was great and friendly, advice on the area was given. Beautiful room with a beautiful view. Safety is excellent which we are not used to anymore. Room was comfortable and everything just as needed. Thank you Merlot171.
Merlot 171 was perfectly located, close to the Breytenbach center where we wanted to be and the security is a big plus! Lovely farm atmosphere, beautiful view, very clean and tidy. Very convenient to have breakfast in the room! I can definitely recommend it!
Place is well located near everything, neat. Good idea with breakfast that just needs to be heated, no need to go and eat.
Merlot171 is convenient and tasteful. The provision of basic drinks and food contributes to making a guest feel at home and comfortable. Thank you for a nice stay.
We were warmly welcomed on our arrival at Merlot171 B&B. Rooms are neat, clean and very spacious. Thanks for the delicious breakfast in the fridge. The freshly picked flowers all over the room and the personal detail made the overnight so enjoyable. We will definitely visit again!
Neat and friendly service. Home away from home. Nice coffee and breakfast.
The breakfast was delicious. Coffee is top quality.
We rested well. Everything was neat and we were kindly received. Everything was very nice. The TV was a bit small and they are currently building with the neighbors. It was a bit noisy on Saturday morning. But it's still a nice place. Will come again.
Independent room in private house. Building work around.
Very hospitable host, appreciated the little extras, lovely accommodation, will definitely recommend Merlot 171. I hope to be back.
Merlot 171 B&B is located in an estate in a peaceful environment. The room is beautifully furnished with nice decor. Breakfast (yogurt, muesli, quiche, etc.) was included in the price and was provided every day! It had been more than enough. The room is also equipped with a fridge, microwave oven, extra blanket, hot water bag, etc. Beautiful view of the veranda from the room. Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Very nice stay. Clean, tidy and safe with a breathtaking view of Wellington and the wine vineyards from the room's veranda. We were very warmly welcomed and would recommend Merlot171 B&B to anyone.
Very friendly service. Rooms very private and stylish.
Value for money and close to several sights to explore. Very friendly service!
Accommodation very neat, environment safe.
Myburgh was very accommodating and friendly. The venue is quiet, private and very comfortable. The self help breakfast the next morning on the patio was a good end to our stay.
Everything was excellent and good attention to detail. But never thought we would be sharing the house with the owners.
We had a great stay and am thankful to our hosts for pointing out all the attractions around Wellington that we could visit and enjoy ourselves. We are also thankful for being accommodating regarding our late booking out time, as we were given the opportunity to shower after returning from the SAD road race. We would recommend Merlot171 B&B to all our friends!
The advertisement is a bit misleading as this is not farm accommodation, but a residential area (estate) bordering the farm. The accommodation is "rustic" with thatched roof and tastefully furnished. Bedding is of good quality to ensure a good night's rest. Rooms are equipped with fridge and microwave and en-suite bathroom. There is no dining room but breakfast is provided in the room which may not suit everyone. The quiche we could warm up in the microwave was tasty and there was also muesli and yoghurt. The friendly host was always helpful. Is recommended.
We received a warm welcome by the owner, Myburgh. Great suggestions on food, nothing was too much for him. One suggestion would be to have a small area to be able to prepare food and drinks, this is very tiny and no practical.
We really enjoyed it, we were welcomed with open arms and it made us feel at home. We would definitely recommend Merlot if you need a quick hideaway weekend.
Thank you very much for the pleasant welcome and thank you very much for the late notice arrangements that were made. We had a wonderful stay.
We had a wonderful stay, the breakfast was a nice treat. Everything one needed.
Nothing wrong with Myburgh's hospitality! It was a nice stopover and we would definitely use Merlot 171 B&B when we're in the Cape again.
Had a nice stay, friendly welcoming and beautiful, convenient and clean room. Will definitely be returning.
Beautiful, clean and modern facilities. The hostess was very friendly. Would definitely recommend it.
Lovely location on a wine farm, safe and quiet. Close enough even to Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. We had a great stay and really enjoyed the area. Although we were not there for the TV it was available but a bit small. We will stay there again if we move towards the Cape.
Merlot171 is great! Myburgh is the perfect host - he explained everything well when we arrived and is really helpful. The room has everything one needs. The quiche and yogurt breakfast was delicious. The room is beautiful and the view even more beautiful. Very nice bed and shower. I can only imagine how nice it is to swim in that beautiful pool in the summer.
Neat and clean with a beautiful view of the vineyard.
Might consider providing a hairdryer. The directions were slightly misleading. Thanks for the complimentary bottle of wine.
Nice stay with very friendly and helpful hosts.
Beautifully decorated rooms and clean. Private, tranquil setting, stunning views. Owner very helpful and accommodating. Loved it! Stay was too short.
What an amazing little place. Owner was absolutely awesome. Room is clean and just exactly what you need in a B&B. Doesn't hound you on exit time and just lets you be. Will recommend to anyone.
The area is beautiful, but the photos give the impression that it is a farm with detached homesteads, which is not the case. Although I am not filing this as a complaint, perhaps it is something to address in terms of customer expectation.
Everything was lovely except that the owners bedroom is right next to the rooms and was kept up by their TV until after 12 my first night after travelling, and woken at 6:30 on Sunday morning by their child that they allowed to scream and shout till 8am after I'd come back late from a wedding.
It is a very cute place with spacious rooms and bathrooms. The hostess is very friendly and made us feel right at home. She went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Everything you need to just sleep is there as well as a delicious cup of coffee, delicious quiche for breakfast and a small fridge for your own convenience. Just make sure in advance that the place offers everything you are looking for or need and don't assume. For us countrymen it was quite a shock to arrive in the Cape and it's terribly hot and you get a room with only a fan in it... It was a disappointment.
Our breakfast was 2 small mini quiches (very small) which were already in the fridge the day before and there were not even biscuits available. It was very disappointing!
Merlot171 B&B is a beautiful place with the most beautiful decor! It is very neat and you feel at home there. The owners were very friendly and went the extra mile by booking us a table at Oude Wellington. They really went the extra mile. I would definitely recommend the Merlot171 and definitely stay there again!
Really lovely BnB, very accommodating and gracious hostess.
It was fantastic. Beautiful house and beautiful vineyards to look out over, owners were very friendly and we felt right at home! We would love to visit again!
We slept well and we appreciate the friendly owners. But unfortunately there was no trash can inside the room or outside the door. Although there is a microwave oven in the cupboard, the cold breakfast in the fridge is not acceptable for us, especially considering the price. The powdered coffee in the paper containers... Oh, I wished so much for a hot pot of coffee and a hot breakfast.
See the ratings.
See the stars.
I would recommend it. Good experience!
Beautiful view and peaceful environment.
It was beautiful and clean. Breakfast was cute, help yourself and enjoy on your own time. Will definitely want to visit Merlot 171 B&B again!
The town of Wellington is a small, well knitted community with the most stunning church buildings I've ever seen. Metlot 171 is so breathtaking with its mountains at the background.Its really a tranquil place that allows you to just relax and forget about business. The rooms are magnificent and you are guaranteed a good nights rest. Sally is the most gracious, warmest host. She really made my stay an absolute pleasure and made me feel at home! Hope to meet Myburg and Elsabe the next time!
The accommodation is close to Wellington and has nice views over the town.
Very well situated & easy to find. Friendly & helpful landlord and lady ... just missed a proper breakfast.
The guest house is located on a very beautiful wine farm and yet in the town. It's quiet and tidy and the owners are very friendly.
Stay was incredibly nice and the host and hostess were helpful and friendly. We will definitely recommend the place to stay.
Merlot171 B&B ticked all the tick boxes for our visit: friendly reception, clean rooms, beautiful views, swimming pool for a hot Wellington, all the luxuries one want for a nights accommodation and comfortable beds. Will highly recommend them!
