This was the perfect location to experience all that Stellenbosch had to offer. It was just a short uber ride to all the vineyards. The restaurants and shopping close by were excellent! Stellenbosch is so walkable and friendly. We couldn't recommend this more highly!

Thank you for being wonderful guests Sue and for taking care of our place, we appreciate your kind review, we look forward to welcome you back to any one of our Avemore apartments on all your future Stellies visits. All the best from our team.
nice location with easy access to all that Stellenbosch offers. car parking a bonus. two nice sized bedrooms. kitchen could be equipped better but has the basics to cook with. seems to suffer from damp damage in the middle of the apartment which requires decorative remedies. we had a nice stay there though and would return.

Has Potential
The location of this apartment puts you right in walking distance to restaurants, shops and all you might want to explore on foot downtown.
Communication regarding location, keys, garage are lengthy but the detail was appreciated. We were sent two different sets of instructions and ended up following the ones to a suite already occupied which caused some anxious moments. We were able to speak to someone right away and they were very helpful which we appreciated.
To be honest, I was disappointed as the apartment had obviously been staged for VRBO photos with nice pillows, flowers and blankets which made the place look very inviting but these items did not exist when we arrived so it took away from first impressions.
The place needs a good cleanup - found dirty cutlery in the drawer and windows of the glass doors were quite dirty, there are also some screws loose on the bathroom door of the second bedroom.
Overall we were disappointed, but please know this place has great potential.

Hi Judy thank you so much for taking time to send a review. We are happy you love the location of our apartment. Our cleaning team will immediately make sure that the door is cleaned. We have removed extras like scatter cushions after covid as we feel it is more hygenic without. We do hope to welcome you back. All the best
