La Terra De Luc Guesthouse — Hotel in Stellenbosch Local Municipality

Can’t fault the accommodation, particularly for the price. Big beautiful room, clean and housekeeping daily. Scenery at the front and back of the guesthouses was stunning. ||Location- wise - the guesthouses at about 1km from the gate so you need to add this on when factoring in walking distance to centre / wine tram. It took us 20 minutes to walk to wine tram so longer to get to the centre. Wouldn’t suggest walking it at night but we did during the day. Was difficult getting Uber in Franschhoek so suggest not assuming these are available when planning your stay but one local taxi firm was good (Tuk Tuk taxis – which was listed in the information guide provided by the accommodation).||Also, there is no reception area (or obvious one that we could see) and you’re given fobs to get through the 2 security gates to get to the accommodation so make sure to check the information book for a contact number incase required. Our fob to the gate wasn’t working late one night when returning home and luckily we pressed the button and they let us in but we were initially panicked when thinking we had no form of contact with the owners.||Suggestion for host: Suggest putting a couple of benches at the grass area at the front looking over the lake. The scenery is stunning so would have been nice to be able...

We stayed in the older rooms. Room 5. Not recommended. The room is a very worn out and needs renovation. There were dust on the floor and tables. The bed is very uncomfortable and noisy. It is a very hard bed with a steel frame. We did not have a good nights sleep. Black out curtains would be have been appreciated and not old wooden dusty blinds. A microwave in the room would have been great. The room could be more sound proof and the door between the rooms lacks a sense of security. It is disappointing that you can not make use of the pool on the premises and only certain areas are allowed to walk around in. The shower flooded the room and we had to use all our towels to contain. The towels were also mouldy and had a smell. The furniture is old, dirty and worn out. All the cupboards in the room do not make sense and it would have helped if they were labeled so you do not have to open them all to search for a fridge. We did not find any warm blankets and there is only one mirror in the bathroom. A mirror in the room would have been appreciated. For the price it is not acceptable as we have stayed in blaces a 1/3 of the price which had better amenities and offered greater value. Very bad experience...

I have stayed here a few times over the years and Love it more and more each time. ||The location is perfect. You are close enough to town to walk or drive but have the tranquility of being on the la vie farm. ||I prefer staying in the new contemporary rooms. They have a beautiful outlook onto the pass and are modern and white inside. The walk in bath is amazing as well. The beds are so comfortable an afternoon nap is a must! In the Cape Town summer the air conditioning is phenomenal! ||In a previous trip I stayed in the classic rooms which was also lovely and very spacious. I would say these are better for families with children. The bathroom in my opinion did need a little upgrade but the last time I stayed in those rooms was about 2 to 3 years ago. The contemporary rooms won me over since then!||Overall loved our stay again and will definitely be back soon! Thank you to the team for keeping the standards consistent...
