OVERVIEW ON SUMMERWOOD GUEST HOUSE IN STELLENBOSCH
Summerwood, situated in the beautiful university town of Stellenbosch, is nestled between mountains and rivers and is the perfect base from which to explore the winelands, Cape Town and its spectacular surroundings. This unique Stellenbosch winelands mansion, originally built in 1904, was designed by an Italian architect and has been lovingly restored to meet the demands of the modern traveler. Summerwood Guest House is set in a spectacular garden featuring a great variety of indigenous plants. With its glorious scenery, close proximity to Cape Town and array of award-winning wineries, Stellenbosch is one of South Africa and The New Wine World’s most popular destinations for lovers of wine and food. The historic town of Stellenbosch, the second oldest in South Africa, developed from a colony of settlers to whom land had been granted on the bank of the Eerste River. The name Stellenbosch was given by Governor Simon van der Stel who in 1697 encamped there with his entourage. The avenues of oaks are lined with Cape Dutch, Georgian and modern Victorian architecture of which many are now national monuments and are jealously guarded for future generations. Over the years Stellenbosch has grown into a vast academic and cultural centre. Its internationally acclaimed university draws thousands of students annually and the flourishing wine industry takes visitors along the wine route to celebrated cellars. One of these cellars is undoubtly the Rustenberg winery with its classic Cape Dutch buildings and a tradition of winemaking that spans three centuries. The magnificent mountains and hills surrounding the town offer unequalled opportunities for golfing, hiking, horse-riding, cycling, hot-air ballooning, hang gliding and many more activities. Accommodation comprises of 9 spacious bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, tastefully decorated to provide warmth and relaxation that only a home can satisfy. All rooms are equipped with the necessary modern conveniences (crisp percale linen, TV with M-Net, air-conditioning, bar fridge, heating, ceiling fans, safe and telephone) and off street secure parking is available.
