Hotel with Courtyard and Pool in Stellenbosch

Spaces at Oude Werf Hotel Stellenbosch

Some stories are found beyond our doors. Others are hidden within them. A sun-dappled morning in the courtyard, a lazy afternoon beside the pool, or a drink in the Lounge before dinner. Each space brings its own atmosphere, whether you’re gathering, unwinding, dining, or simply taking in your surroundings.

Courtyard restaurant

At the centre of the hotel, the courtyard garden feels worlds away from Church Street, despite being only steps from its energy. Mornings begin here over breakfast beneath the canopy, while evenings stretch over good conversation, food, and wine.

Heated pool and deck

Especially in summer, a hotel with a pool in Stellenbosch means there’s always somewhere cool and calm to come back to after a busy day out. Between wine farm visits, gallery walks and afternoons in town, the pool becomes a place to relax, read and refresh. Heated throughout the year, it’s just as inviting on cooler days.

Lounge & Bar

Like much of Oude Werf, The Lounge & Bar feels more familiar than formal. Settle in for morning coffee, Sunday scones, or chat over wine or cocktails before dinner. Stop in for a light bite and something cold before making your way to the garden and pool beyond.

Meeting room

Whether you’re hosting a board meeting, workshop or small business gathering, Oude Werf offers a private meeting room in the heart of Stellenbosch. Just a short walk from Stellenbosch University and the town centre, it’s a quiet, comfortable space for up to 12 guests.

Capacity: Up to 12 guests (boardroom style)
Facilities: Wi-Fi and plug-in audio-visual equipment
Catering: Available in the meeting room or our restaurant

Where it all began

In 1981, archaeological excavations during the restoration and extension of Oude Werf revealed parts of the original church foundations beneath the hotel, including early graves connected to the site’s earliest years in Stellenbosch. Take a peek beneath the kitchen and discover one of the earliest layers of Stellenbosch history, connecting today’s Oude Werf to the people who walked these grounds more than 300 years ago.

The Story Beneath Oude Werf

Many guests don’t realise what sits beneath the restaurant floor at Oude Werf. They arrive from Church Street or wander in from their rooms while breakfast is being served...
