The only possible regret is of not having planned a long enough visit. Our holiday at Hawksmoor House was like a dream, staying in a living museum of wonderful Cape history while enjoying the most generous and gracious hospitality. From the warm welcome at 11:00 pm when we arrived from a late flight, to relaxing with complimentary sherry and port... More

We booked five nights in Hawksmoor for the start of our one month tour of Southern Africa and liked it so much that we went back there for two nights at the end of our trip. All the rooms are different and have varied outlooks. We liked the grey room best. Kirsteen and the staff create a friendly atmosphere and... More

The Hawksmoor House is situated on an expansive wine farm alongside the N1 Rd as it crosses the Western Cape province on its way from Cape Town to the Hawequas Mountain Catchment Area. We spent two nights at this beautiful gem of a guest house about 20 minutes to the north of the town of Stellenbosch. Our room was the... More

Hawksmoor House is a lovely guest house - styled with beautiful antiques and not at all like a traditional hotel, which you feel like you can be anywhere in the world. This is distinctly South African! We have stayed in many guest houses across the world, and I must say this is truly a memorable place. The staff and service... More

We stayed for one night at the house and did enjoy our stay. The house is lovely and it was interesting to see such a historic building. Our room was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The staff was nice enough, but not particularly friendly and not at all knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast on the veranda was good. More

We stayed at Hawksmoor several days. This wonderful guesthouse , warm, stylish and cosy with nice and friendly staff gave us the feeling of coming home at the end of the day. On the 'stoop' you can drink a nice glass of homemade wine while you see the sun go down over Tabel Mountain. Reading a book in the drawing... More

My wife, daughter and I visited Hawksmoor at the end of Feb for my wife's birthday. This place was one of the best places we have ever stayed. They upgraded us to a two bedroom guest house off of the main house so we would have use of a kitchen to make food for our 16 month old. It was... More

We stayed at the HM house for two nights. Its a 300 year old house with beautiful surroundings. The room we stayed in ( beige room) is large, clean and beautifuly decorated. The house itself is lovely and filled with antiques. However not that well maintained and very dark inside.  Its lacks that extra touch to be worthy of a... More

My wife and I (and 9 month old son) enjoyed 4 fantastic nights at Hawksmoor House. It's a charming place and very relaxing. The main house (including the bedrooms) is beautifully decorated. The gardens and pool are well maintained. The food (breakfast and supper) is simple yet delicious. Hawksmoor's own wine is great value. We found the location very convenient... More

Dear Hawksmoor House and its people, we loved our weekend at the house, the staff was very friendly, the tranquility and surroundings were exactly what we needed, the breakfast was amazing... the pool was great with perfect temperature, the internet was a bit slow, but all in all we came there for a relaxing weekend and we got more than...
