Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Stellenbosch Central

The Sage Cottage was the perfect spot for the visit to the wineries with the wine trams just down the road, the supermarket and restaurants were very close by too. We easily walked to the Franschhoek village which was less than 5 minutes away. The cottage was perfect for 5 people and had lots of living space - it has a bedroom downstairs with an en-suite bathroom, a powder room, a huge master bedroom with an en-suite, and two double-bed bedrooms with a connecting en-suite. It was a lovely stay. ☺️

We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Wesley, the host, was welcoming, responsive, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. The location was perfect - peaceful, yet conveniently close to everything we wanted to see and do in Stellenbosch. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend staying here!

First off, Belinda is a fantastic host—extremely responsive and clear in her instructions. In addition to Belinda’s great hosting, there’s a housekeeper and a gardener who are both incredibly kind and maintain the house in top form. The house itself is very spacious and even more impressive than the photos suggest. It features three large indoor kitchen areas and an outdoor Braai. If you love cooking, this place is a dream come true! The pool is wonderful, though it does occasionally collect pollen and leaves from the neighbors’ trees. The house can comfortably accommodate six adults, but we stayed with just two adults and a baby for most of our stay. It’s located in a very quiet neighborhood, just a five-minute drive from Stellenbosch. There’s plenty to do nearby, offering the perfect balance of being close to Stellenbosch’s lively city center while still enjoying the peace and quiet. Definitely a place we would love to come back to!

An amazing stay in an amazing house. The location is perfect for those wanting to explore the village and also very handy for local supermarket, wine tram and even a couple of vineyards. The house has everything you needed for a great stay with great plunge pool and sun deck area. Also well looked after by Eden and the other staff. Will definitely look to return.

A lovely home with everything you need for a family holiday. The hosts are very accommodating and responsive, lovely space in Stellenbosch!

A fantastic place with a great location. Elaine was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back.

Really lovely stay! Walking distance from STIA and beautiful surroundings. Comfortable bedrooms and living area. Spacious bathrooms and kitchen. Really responsive and flexible host- would very much recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful villa in Franschhoek. The place was stunning—peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring the area. Our host; Nora Elsa, was incredibly responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. A special mention also goes to Analine, she was so helpful, kind, and attentive. Her presence really added to the comfort of our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this villa to anyone visiting Franschhoek!

Beautiful place to stay! Thank you for having us!!

We had a lovely stay, the space is beautiful and peaceful. Good quality linen and everything you need in the kitchen. Jannineke is a friendly and helpful hostess and made us feel right at home.

Renata was super helpful and went the extra mile to help us with our travel plans appreciate the efforts and the room was beautiful.

A lovely apartment in a great location with lots of beautiful restaurants and shops close by. The apartment was very clean and Carla and Lydia were super helpful and their communication was great! We would advise for future guests to not park cars on the street and ensure you use the safe and secure parking provided by the host under apartment. We felt very safe and right at home in the apartment. I would definitely recommend to everyone! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay with Marelize and Dawie! The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The unit was perfect, spacious and the fireplace was a big bonus for us. The location is absolutely perfect and ideal for anyone wanting to visit Franschhoek and all the surrounding wine farms. 100% would recommend!

Very lovely place. Had everything that we needed. Catherine was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Wish to visit her place again in the future.

We had a delightful stay! The views - breathtaking Apartment- tastefully kitted out and spotless Host- friendly and helpful Thank you for a wonderful stay

What a fantastic home in the centre of Stellenbosch, every room so beautifully appointed and so many welcoming details from wine and orange juice to rusks and muesli. A total local gem that was very chic, we wished we had more time!

Of all our stays in The Western Cape, this was in our Top 2 (in over 109 stays). 7 mins to central Stellenbosch , near the beaches and only 25 mins to Cape Town. Right in the heart of the Winelands. The villa was immaculate with very clear and accommodating hosts. For a family of 4, we all had our own bedrooms with en suites and one of the largest pools in a private residence. Washer, dryer (which is rare), air conditioning and lots of open communal space. We loved in so much that we made an offer to the owners to purchase 😎. Do not hesitate to book this gorgeous villa in a secure neighbourhood. We look forward to coming back in the near future.

Lovely house with a great host, won’t hesitate to call again next time I’m in Stellies. Loved the space, fireplace, heated pool and proximity to nature and wine farms. Truly remarkable.

This house is just a dream, so much character from the outside hugged by lush greenery and trees. We loved the clean stylish space inside that immediately puts your mind at ease and adored the furnishings/pictures collected on their travels. The garden is big equipped with sunbeds and chairs and the we enjoyed the pool with mountain views. We enjoyed sitting in front of the fire at night. You really can't beat the location! Located behind Le Quartier Francaise, we loved taking a 3 minute walk to the village where there are so many restaurants. We experienced Yama and Eleven for dinner and loved eating at Terbodore everyday for breakfast. For families, we recommend visiting Pigcasso, as you can feed the animals which is fun and it is beautiful. Jo's beautiful house was absolutely perfect for our family of 4.

Beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing. We highly recommend Franschhoek Farm Cottages.

Maureen was a fantastic host. She communicated well and was very flexible with our plans. The accommodation is very well located and is everything you could want in a secure housing estate. We will definitely return to Maureen's place if we are staying in Somerset West again.

Highly recommended for any group be it families with or without kids! We were a group of 4 adults and three kids (1,4,6) and had an amazing team in the house. I'd even say the pictures dont to justice to it, as the view which ranges from Capetown over the ocean and then to vinyards and the mountains is absolutely stunning. The pool was a nice refreshments and it nicely heats up throughout the day (water is heated via tubes on the roof). The kitchen has literally everything in terms of utensils etc. Bedrooms: 2/3 bedrooms can be darkened, one will always be bright in the morning. The Masterbedroom with large bathroom and walk-in dressing room/wardrobe was absolutely amazing Host: super flexible, Blaise even organised a baby chair and bed for the little one (didnt have one before but reacted quickly to our ask); Willie as the "on-site-host" is always super helpful and flexible. We had an aircon-issue one day and he instantly took care of it; always reachable on w-app/call

We were 5 ladies that stayed at Sandie and Martin's house for 1 night. Beautiful home! Amazing swimming pool and garden! We had such a lovely time. Thank you so much for everything!
