About Us

Come and experience top quality accommodation at Bonne Esperance Guest House situated in the heart of Stellenbosch, the capital of the Cape Winelands. This elegant bed-and-breakfast is housed in a beautifully restored Victorian villa, complete with a wrap-around veranda, lace-like cast-iron trims (known as “broekie lace”) and a genuine corner turret. Whether you are a holiday maker or are visiting Stellenbosch for business purposes, Bonne Esperance offers fantastically convenient and supremely comfortable guest house accommodation.

Our guest house is located diagonally opposite the beautiful Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens and is just a five-minute walk away from the town’s centre - perfect for an amble down the oak-lined Van Riebeeck street with the Old Mill stream flowing alongside you.

The Bonne Esperance villa in was originally built in 1907, and has retained the same charm and ambience of that era but with the added luxuries of our modern age. This charming Stellenbosch guest house has 17 individually decorated rooms, each including an air-conditioner, smart television with DSTV (satellite channels), wireless internet access, tea & coffee-making facilities, a mini-bar fridge, a hairdryer and a laptop safe. You can enjoy a delicious full breakfast in our lovely breakfast room or outside on the veranda overlooking the immaculate garden.

Expect friendly and informative hospitality from your hosts Annemien, Michelle, Carmen and the rest of the Bonne Esperance team who are committed to catering to your needs and making your stay as enjoyable as possible!
