With its doors opening onto historic Church Street, Oude Werf sits at the centre of Stellenbosch, surrounded by restaurants, cafés, galleries and local culture. There is a gentle sense of charm here, shaped by its long connection to Stellenbosch and its position within the rhythm of the town.

Its relaxed atmosphere creates a sense of familiarity that makes the hotel feel settled within its surroundings rather than removed from them. Outside, Stellenbosch brings its lively mix of food, wine, culture and conversation; inside, there is space to slow down and settle into the day. The hotel’s spaces reflect this balance, from the shaded courtyard and swimming pool to the lounge and garden areas that invite you to spend time at your own pace.

Oude Werf reflects the character of Stellenbosch without trying to replicate it — a place with its own sense of warmth and ease, closely connected to the town around it.
