Sugarbird Manor

It was such a treat to be at Sugarbird Manor for 7 nights. I was in Room 14 which has recently been renovated to a very high standard on the ground floor of the main section of the guesthouse. Everything was uber clean, comfortable and secure and I could access the pool area directly from my room. There is a well equipped small gym, and also a spa treatment suite on the property (treatments are at extra cost). We used Sugarbird as a base to tour the wine estates in the Stellenbosch area as it's well located for this purpose.

Lovely property, so many plus points such as the views, the amazing staff, breakfast, location and security and rooms a good size. Areas for improvement: More drawers in rooms Mirrors in room, ideally full length Honesty bar is good but very limited stock, with the location being somewhat remote there just isn’t enough space in the fridge if many people want to bring their own food and selection of drinks to enjoy the venue and not always go out, we were told it’s not meant to be a “BYO” but they did try to accommodate us with the items we brought. We were there as a large group for a wedding so wasn’t always easy to find somewhere to eat out which resulted in food deliveries so we wanted to bring the drinks along, and ice, and the available selection just didn’t provide what we wanted across the group We were told there are many acres to walk around but when we asked where we could walk we were told the gates were locked

Ginny, Megan and the Team were exceptional! Had an efficient booking, check-in and settling in with follow-up checks to see all was well. Check-out was a breeze too! Their ginger cat, the chicken and the family of 5 peacocks were so friendly too! They'd walk around us daily like we were family. The bed & pillows were really comfortable. The bathroom was roomy and the water pressure & temperature was on point! The breakfast service was awesome with the kitchen team preparing fresh meals from the freshest local produce available. As a vegan I was definitely taken care of. As a coffee lover, had the most amazing Nespresso coffee variety with one of the best coffee machines I've seen and that too coupled with a choice of oat milk & almond milk whenever it was required! Been ages since I swam in a hotel pool and had a great time with my nephews & friends. Fresh clean towels for all users of the pool! A pool with a view!
