The breakfast was advertised as being inclusive. However, you could select any item from a limited menu to the value of R190. If you went over your budget, you were responsible for the amount. Menu too limited. Night-time no food service available, had to venture into town to find food.
Nestled in a beautifully landscaped garden in the town of Paarl, one of South Africa’s oldest settlements, this hotel impresses with first-class service.

I might be a little biased. Paarl is my home town. That said the Pontiac Manor Hotel is very friendly and professional. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. Our evening in the restaurant was very good and popular too. Meal excellent. Breakfast in the morning was good. The hotel is in an excellent position to see historic Paarl with its stunning view of Paarl Mountain.

As Paarl is my home town I’m probably a little biased. The town has much to offer. The historic Main Street, so put on your walking shoes. For those travellers who enjoy wine Paarl has a lot to offer. There are plenty of wine estates to visit including the KWV winery. A visit to Paarl Rock is a must with stunning views across the valley. Paarl is home to the Afrikaans language visit the Taal Monument. For those travellers who want a relaxing break, Paarl is for you. Paarl unlike other Wineland towns like Stellenbosch and Franshoek is a lot less quieter with fewer tourists. A gem not to be missed.

Paarl has a very interesting Main Street if you enjoy architecture: there are a couple of centuries of architectural styles here. The scenery and surrounding mountains are spectacular and of course … let’s not forget all those gorgeous wine estates, tastings and food pairings.

There is more than enough quality and good restaurants.
There is more than enough quality and good restaurants. Lots of things to do (e.g. el Paca farm). beautiful surrounds and fairly quiet. The only detractor are the beggars on the streets - I never felt threatened, but it gets a bit much after a while.

The Laborie location is perfect ..close access the highway .
The Laborie location is perfect ..close access the highway ..and not far from Franschoek and Stellenbosch. We really enjoy the Winelands and prefer it to the the hustle and bustle of Central Cape Town. Paarl itself is quaint and quiet ..although in fairness we did not venture out into the wineland area of Paarl ..as our trip was too s hort ..only 5 days ..next time it will be for two weeks ..
Quaint unpretentious cottage on a working wine farm run by the family owners. Amazingly comfortable beds. The cottage is well appointed for both short and longer term stays. Stunning views. Central to be Paarl winelands and a perfect place to base explorations of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine regions. Staff are exceptional. The family owners live and work on the estate and are welcoming to their guests.
This is a great place located in the middle of small vineyard in its own building. 11 rooms total. Ina and the staff couldn't be more helpful or enthusiastic. Its located in a great location in the middle of the Cape Winelands area near Paarl (about a 5 minute drive) and halfway between Stellenbosch and Franschoek less than 90 minute drive from Cape Town Airport. A great value as well.
Booked last minute as most hotels were already fully booked around this area. Definitely exceed our expectations. They had the BEST beddings, pillow and bed were very clean and comfortable. Requested for Halal breakfast, and they were able to assist with our dietary restrictions. Breakfast room deco was such a splendor. Staff were so welcoming, had a good chat with Owner Mr. Dion.
I had a nice stay in a separate building called 'Die stal'. They have upgraded to a boutique hotel since I was there last time. The room was very comfortable & clean and the check-in was very smooth. The location is excellent close to many restaurants and bars. Parking is very safe and convenient next to the garden area at the back of the hotel. The breakfast was nice as well.
A fabulous guesthouse just outside Paarl. Tatjana made the most amazing breakfasts and the wines are exceptional. Lots of friendly big dogs roaming around the place and they loved a fuss when you returned at night. Fabulous 15 metre swimming pool. Great restaurants nearby.
It was on a working farm in the Paarl district which was lovely. Marike was a wonderful host and very helpful. We had everything we needed. We loved the dogs and the peace and quiet and felt safe. Sitting at the pool was lovely too and walking on the farm was wonderful.
The bed was very comfortable, staff were friendly. Breakfast was nice and satisfying served on a porch with nice garden view, the lobby of the hotel has a nice Victorian ambience, perfect to start your morning. Good wifi connection. Lot of parking is available on spot
It’s the best hotel I’ve ever been in my life. Everything is great, especially hotel team which makes our stay very comfortable, Darrol, Hendrik and others ❤️
I think that it’s simply not fair to give this hotel ten points, as it deserves much more!!!
Paarl was a nice place to base from. Suite was larger than expected. Very large bed, bedroom, and bathroom. Common area table to sit out and drink coffee in the am. Happily surprised about washing machine (just be sure to use the quick setting).
2nd stay in the King Suite and it was just as awesome as the first. Luxurious accommodation and perfect for self-catering with every amenity you can think of. Deck and jacuzzi with fantastic views. Thanks to Rita for being a wonderful host.
We loved the hot tub and the amazing greenery. The garden is maintained at the highest standard. Rita was very helpful as the host as well
The room was clean, modernly designed and had all amenities needed and more for a self catering area
Rhys was super helpful with information and things we asked. conveniently located in Paarl and nice place to stay and explore. it is located at a small hilltop with a beautiful view over the mountains
We had an awesome time...and Robert was super nice host. Will definitely stay there again when in Paarl. The place exceeded our expectations. Our room was so spacious and had everything we needed.
