This is definitely not a luxury apartment. We stayed for 13 nights and our room was never cleaned. The service staff was very unreliable; we had to beg for fresh linens every three days, and even then, some items were forgotten. Absolutely not recommended for a longer stay. The management is very poor. The pool area is very nice, and the location is good too. The room had several defects, for example: worn bedside tables and a crack in the shower window.
I find the term "Luxury Apartments" completely inappropriate. There's potential here, but the quality and upkeep are lacking. On the plus side, the two security gates make the accommodation seem quite secure. The drive from the first gate to the second is very nicely designed. Unfortunately, the initial impression of the accommodation wasn't so great. On one side, there's a terrace that's been started but isn't currently under construction, and on the other side, a flowerbed is flooded with half a plastic bottle stuck in the drain grates. Well, not luxurious, but not a deal-breaker. The style is coherent and attractive, but you can already see many areas showing signs of wear and tear. The room is nice. However, you absolutely mustn't be sensitive to noise here. The neighbors' TVs could easily be in your room. The bedside tables are simply very worn, the curtains are covered in black mold, the refrigerator is dirty, some of the windows are cracked, there are protruding nails on a decorative fireplace, and many other small things that, in my opinion, simply show a lack of quality. We will definitely not be coming back.
This apartment complex is particularly impressive due to its stunning surroundings. From here you have a wonderful view of the entire mountain landscape around Stellenbosch – a sight that impresses at any time of day and immediately provides relaxation. The pool area is absolutely fantastic, very well maintained and perfect for fully enjoying the view. The apartment itself is huge, modern and very new; everything appears to be of high quality and very well maintained. There is plenty of space and you immediately feel comfortable. Another major advantage is the feeling of security: The two barriers and controlled access points make you feel very safe at all times. Overall, a perfect accommodation for anyone who wants to combine peace, comfort, nature and safety. A clear recommendation – we would come back anytime.
