Would come back again

What a wonderful stay! We booked the two pool-view rooms, and one even included a beautiful bathtub. Everything was spotless, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the shower was excellent. As someone unfamiliar with South Africa, finding a location that felt secure and offered convenient airport access was very important to me — and this place exceeded expectations. The neighborhood is lovely, peaceful, and felt very safe.

What a wonderful time we had at Villa Helderburg

Firstly, the location was perfect. My fiancé and I came to South Africa to get married in Stellenbosch and Villa Helderburg was close enough to the airport and city plus a short drive from our wedding venue. … We all loved the breakfast options each day and every question and request we had was met with enthusiasm … We couldn't have wished for better hosts.

Booking.com guest review

Beautiful grounds and amazing staff.

The location and grounds were stunning. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts were delicious. Plenty of space in the accommodation including a little private garden area. Onsite parking available, but also parking just outside the property if needs be.

… We especially enjoyed having dinner by the pool in the evening — such a relaxing atmosphere. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

Heerlijke plek!

Wat een prachtige plek hebben Sonny en Marije hier van gemaakt. Super rustig, mooie kamers en ze zijn ontzettend gastvrij. Fijne uitvalsbasis met alles dichtbij!

I contacted them in advance requesting a bottle of champagne and a bunch of local flowers as a surprise for my fiancé and their selection was perfect!!! … We enjoyed everything about our stay at Villa Helderberg and as the weather cleared over the next couple of days the views could really be taken in.

Hervorragend

Nach 2015 und 2016 waren wir das dritte Mal in der Villa Helderberg. Sehr sympathische neue Besitzer und unser Gartenzimmer war sehr schön renoviert und gemütlich. … Der schön angelegte Garten lädt zum relaxen ein. Gerne wieder!
