Guesthouse
Overview
Lovane’s four-star bed and breakfast guesthouse offers classic luxury, at affordable prices, in the heart of the Winelands. It offers the peace and restfulness that a wine farm experience has to offer, yet is only 5km from the picturesque Stellenbosch town-centre, 22km from Cape Town International Airport, and 35km from Cape Town City Centre.
Our guesthouse offers a unique Stellenbosch getaway for the local traveler, a central home-away-from-home for the international traveler, and a convenient and comfortable stay for the business traveler (with access to local businesses or our very own conferencing facilities).
Our rooms have unique views of the surrounding mountains and neighboring vineyards. The décor is modern but classic, cozy, and comfortable. Each room has air-conditioning, a multi-channel TV, a safe, a minibar, a hairdryer and shaver plug, and coffee and tea for you to enjoy in the room or outside on the verandas. The rooms are all non-smoking.
We spoil our guests with Lovane’s own range of locally produced bathroom toiletries. All our rooms have 100% cotton linen and can either set them for twin beds, or king-sized beds. We have a limited number of inter-leading rooms – perfect for families with children. Breakfast is served in our beautiful restaurant area or outside on the wooden deck if the weather permits it. A wood-burning fireplace in our restaurant provides cozy warmth in winter.
The guesthouse is situated on an award-winning working wine estate. Visit the unique underground cellar and wine-tasting facility for a taste of small-scale wine-making, and our unique wines.
Guests can delight in observing sheep grazing around the pastures near the guesthouse.
Deluxe Suites
We have Three Deluxe suites (one of which is perfect for bridal couples). These suites all have baths and showers. We provide soft towelling gowns and slippers during your stay. The Deluxe suites are fitted with Nespresso coffee machines. Guests can enjoy coffee, or a glass of our estate wines inside the rooms, or outside on the semi-private verandas (stoeps).
We have Four Vineyard rooms. These rooms have unique views of the surrounding vineyards. The rooms have showers, and we provide pure ground coffee, with french presses, for our guests.
Vineyard rooms
Standard rooms
We have Eight Standard rooms. Our standard rooms have views of either the surrounding vineyards or the surrounding mountains. On occasion, visitors who book on the southern side, could see antelope across the road at the Vredenheim estate. The rooms have showers, and we provide pure ground coffee, with french presses.
Standard room for physically disabled
We have One Standard room, which has been adapted to fit the needs of physically disabled persons. It is a Standard room in all aspects, but in order to make the bathroom big enough for wheelchair access, as well as access to the bed with a wheelchair, the room has been made slightly smaller. Due to this layout, the room can only accommodate two single beds on separate walls.
