I struggle to understand some of the remarks on this place. We enjoyed a terrific welcome, a lovely room with its own garden, and a good breakfast. No coffee facilities in-room, but a residents lounge fully equipped. On our stay, the restaurant was closed for the public holiday, which meant a drive for dinner, but this was a minor inconvenience.... More

Being outside of Stellenbosch - the quiet bids you to relax and unwind. The sunset across the vineyards can be stunning. Marleen (co-owner) was always accommodating and caring. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfast (included) at the 'Radish' restaurant was great. So much so, I stayed extra days. I would strongly recommend it for those to want to... More

We and another couple stayed at Ons Genot for four nights and we all enjoyed every minute. We were on a wining and golfing trip and found plenty to occupy ourselves within a few kilometres. Ons Genot is a few kilometres out of Stellenbosch and so private transportation is necessary, although it does supply tranquility and relaxation in its rural... More

We cannot describe peacefulness we experienced in such beautiful settings. Marleen upgraded us on arrival. The room was a great size, with a patio and garden outside. We were fortunate to take advantage of their special offer, and had some amazing meals both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant which overlooked the dam. Recommend eating on the deck in the...

.....doesn't deserve its ranking purely because its giving people a false impression of the standard of accommodation in Stellenbosch. Stayed at this place in Jan 13 and quite honestly it was like the land that time forgot! The reception area is built from Kitchen Units - a terrible impression when one arrives and it doesn't get much better from there.... More

Dear Heathrowdweller, Sorry to hear about you disappointing stay at Ons Genot. It’s a pity that you did not come to our reception and complained directly with me. We could have discussed and resolved your issues in such way that you also could have enjoyed, like most other guests, your stay with us. We could have arranged other accommodation if... More

The place was very nice although a little bit out of the way but perfect if you want to do simmonsig. The service was just not that memorable. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable though. Breakfast was not that great.

We had a very nice stay at Ons Genot. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable and opened into the garden with a small patio area. The restaurant was a very short walk through the grounds and there was plenty of choice at breakfast, where we were able to sit outside and watch the weaver birds building their nests. The... More

My husband and I were looking for affordable yet above-average accommodation which was also fairly close to home and after reading other reviews, I finally decided on "Ons Genot". Well, we were more than satisfied with our choice: Marleen gave us special treatment when I told her that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary - an upgraded room and some... More
