Located on a picturesque wine estate 5 km outside Stellenbosch, this guest house offers rooms with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards. It features an outdoor swimming pool.

Guinea fowl, spotted dikkops and partridges roam freely in the vineyards. Lovane Boutique also offers private wine tastings, bicycle and car rental, and a tour desk.

Lovane is a one love for our family. I've lived several months all around the SA in many regions - from Johannesburg to along the Great Ocean Road. I've also been almost everywhere around the world. And Lovane is the ultimately best place to stay in the whole region, and maybe even in the whole South Africa. The example of how a host with passion does everything right to provide amazing experience and not become a soulless business. I can write pages about how amazing Lovane is, but you have to try it yourself. It is a winery - and if you stay there, they offer you tasting, and the owner can show around and tell you everything about his experience. You will also find a bottle of their wine in your room as a present after check-in. It is a hotel - they have a fast WiFi, a pool, they offer amazing breakfast and ready to tell you everything about what to do and where to go. They are like old friends you came to visit. I want to come there again and again. It is a place to be - you have literally everything around. Other wineries (a lot), restaurants, activities - everything is in 5-10 minutes drive. The best destination to stay in Stellenbosch.

    The staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped organize a birthday surprise, breakfast in bed and flowers, for my girlfriend with so much enthusiasm. The property itself is beautiful and lovely and peaceful. The location is perfect as it is close to Stellenbosch and wine farms. Being on solar meant there was no load shedding which feels like a luxury. 10/10!
