Post House is situated in the winelands between the historic town of Stellenbosch and Somerset West. We offer a cottage for long term rentals. It has two double rooms, both en-suite, a sitting room with TV, and a verandah with mountain views. There is also a big farm dam. Enjoy walking through vineyards or hiking in the surrounding beautiful mountains, a round of golf at nearby courses, swimming or surfing at the stunning Strand beach, or the quaint fishing and sailing port of Gordon's Bay just 25 minutes away. We are located in the heart of the winelands, thus making Post House the ideal base from which to explore famous wine estates and farms, and discover wonderful restaurants such as 96 Winery Road. Although the cellar only produces a small quantity of wine, the hands-on and conscientious approach at each step, from the growing and harvesting of the grapes through to unification, bottling, and packaging makes the wines unique. With the ability to be creative the whole wine package is fine-tuned. The objective is to interfere as little as possible in the creation of the wine making process. This means that the grapes are handled as gently as possible. We offer guests complimentary wine tasting of Post House wines from grapes grown on our farm.

Great by

The stay was great


Overnight stay not recommended by

Perhaps we were just unfortunate but we did not enjoy our stay. Signposts were not clearly visible. The gravel road to the homestead were badly maintained with rather deep furrows and some potholes.

The cottage lends itself to be a charming destination but is sadly not well cared for and is rather rundown in appearance with paintwork that needs cleaning at the least or repainted for best results.

The crockery and cutlery were not clean and we had to rewash it before we could use it. Electric blanket (one half) on the double bed did not work though the bedding and mattress were clean and comfortable.

It was a cold night and we decided to light a fire in the fireplace seeing that there was no heater in the lounge, not knowing that the chimney did not work with the result that we were totally smoked out by smoke coming down through the ceiling. By half past seven we were in our bed as it was the only warm spot.

A pity as the place could offer so much to the weary traveller. P.S. The wine tasting was not offered as proclaimed on the website.
