마제카 하우스 후기

Previous reviews vary and it is fair to say the property is fairly dated and could do with some work, HOWEVER, the charm of the property and the exceptional service make up for this and more. We are well travelled and have stayed in some exceptional hotels around the world but the friendliness and especially the service was as good as any. After booking our three night stay, i asked if they could book a nice restaurant for our first night and albeit a busy friday they booked a table at the fat butcher which was excellent. They also provisionally booked restaurants for our other two nights, as a fallback. They recommended and then booked for us a superb private wine tasting with lunch. Although it is not particularly central in Stellenbosh, we found Uber no problem and cheap, except on one occasion when we found it difficult, however after a call from the restaurant, the hotel picked us up at no charge.. Even at breafast when i asked for something they didnt have, without asking someone went to the local shop and got it for me.. As I said,, the service was excellent. A really nice experience, the hotel itself not 5 star,, however the service was more than that and we would have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending it.. Be aware of a couple of things to avoid being disappointed. - the property is a taxi ride from the centre of Stellenbosch. - only certain rooms have a private outside pool, the remaining have use of the large indoor/outdoor pool. - the restaurant is no longer open in the evening. As long as you know when you're booking you should have a very enjoyable stay. Thanks guys.

DO NOT BOOK HERE ! They take your deposit and wont give it back even if you cancel well in advance of the time. I've called 20x times and no one is willing to deal with it. In addition, emails go unanswered. Terrible customer service, really recommend you to stay away from this place.

we were welcomed by Vernon the manager when we checked in. He gave us a tour of the property and we were in love. A beautiful small luxury hotel with stunning views to the mountains. I loved the decor and our rooms was huge. he travelled with our 13-year-old, and she was set up with a bed in the living room. we had 3 terraces with different views. Very compfy bed and delish breakfast. only thing I regret is not staying longer !

I just extended my stay here…if I could it would be for another week. The real gem in this place is the staff, nothing is too much for them, I love how they prioritise the guests. Majeka House feels tranquil and serene…homely even. Our room is so spacious, the breakfast spread is just wholesome…the scones, oh my word, the best scones ever! I have nothing but praise for this place…can’t wait to come back. Special mention to Roland, he really goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Thank you Majeka House team…we will be back😊

Was looking forward to this venue but maintenance is poor, rooms dirty. Had to kill a large cockroach in my daughter’s room as well as some spiders. Not what I expected from a lovely place as per the official website, needs some serious TLC to improve the experience

Just returned from a 4-night stay at Majeka House in Stellenbosch. While the property has potential and some bright spots, several issues prevented this from being the luxury experience we expected. Location: Somewhat Isolated Majeka House is located in a residential area of Stellenbosch, which has pros and cons: Pros: - Quiet neighborhood setting - Safe area with gated access Cons: 10-minute drive to Stellenbosch town center Not walkable to restaurants or attractions Limited views compared to other wine country properties Taxi/Uber required for dinner outings Rooms: Inconsistent Quality We stayed in a Premier Collection Room, which was spacious but showed signs of wear: - Comfortable king-sized bed - Large bathroom with separate tub - Decent-sized private terrace - Dated furnishings in need of updating - Several maintenance issues (slow draining shower, loose fixtures) - Air conditioning struggled to maintain consistent temperature - Limited storage space - Weak WiFi signal in room Staff: Variable Service Service levels fluctuated significantly during our stay ranging from very friendly to somewhat not bothered. Since we weren't staying for too long we ignored the unprofessional behaviour, but took note for our review. At Breakfast and Dinner there were very long waits for service, and housekeeping was inconsistent (missed turndown service twice). Concierge seemed to have limited knowledge about local attractions so had to use google and one thing that really stuck out was that it was sometimes difficult to find staff when needed. Dining: Hit and Miss The dining experience at Majeka House was varied, points that I noted include: - A Good wine list with local options (hey, we're in the wine zone so this should be a no brainer!) - A decent breakfast selection However, this did not come with shortcomings from the dinner menu which we found go be quite limited and overpriced for the quality. During Peak times the service seemed to grind to a halt or slow at best and breakfast items were not often replenished promptly. Though I'm not a vegetarian, I noticed that there were limited options for vegetarians. Facilities: Adequate But Underwhelming The location has a range of facilities to cater to your needs. These include: - Nice spa facility with good treatments - Pleasant pool area - Small but functional gym Again, there are areas that are in need of improvement which include: - Monitoring of pool temperature - Pool temperature was too cold for comfort for us during our stay. - Limited outdoor seating areas - Spa often fully booked - Garden areas need better maintenance Things to Do: The location provides access to various activities which include: - visiting the many wine estates in Stellenbosch - Easy access to Stellenbosch town (Uber is your friend) - Access to hiking trails Things to take note of when visiting this location in terms of getting around is that you'll need to get a taxi to get anywhere, there ar

The hotel is dated and in serious need of renovation. Our room door looked like something from 35 years ago. The WiFi is atrocious, drops out every 30 seconds. Breakfast we decided to skip because the cutlery on the table was dirty. I think we’re more disappointed because when you book a 5* you expect 5*, not 3*. Bar area is nice, gardens are well maintained.

Majeka House is a gem! Just outside of the busy Stellenbosch centre is this beautiful hotel. It has no less than 4 swimming pools, including a heated one which is open 24 hours (great for insomniacs like me!). The management and staff are all great! The room was spacious and private with a great outdoor area as well. I can highly recommend a stay here

What a disgusting hotel. I arrived in a room that had severe mould damage and smell. LOOK at my PHOTOS below—thick dust under the bed. The pool was not warm, and the jacuzzi was STILL out of order. Very Run down hotel with staff that never apologised once when approached about the severe mould and water damage. My 6 month old and wife had to try find a place after arriving late to this terrible room that they clearly thought was ok for a 5 star guest house. Who in their right mind has the audacity to expect people to sleep in a room like this. Not normal behaviour

Very enjoyable stay at Majeka House. The manager Vernon went out of his way to make our stay very memorable. If it was not for him our trip would have been less enjoyable as some of the spa facilities broke down during our visit. However all good in the end.

Majeka House doesn’t skimp on quality. Plush beds and fluffy pillows make for pleasant sleep in the veritable clouds, that’s for sure! Luxury also makes its way through Majeka’s decor and design, with stunning earth-toned tiling, heated shower rails, generously poured shower products in convenient and chic containers, and a decent coffee pod coffee machine to civilize your morning with a hot cup first thing! Family-friendly; with good accessibility considerations in rooms and common spaces, stunning surrounds, and one of the most diligent hospitality teams (from front-of-house to groundskeepers). It’s a petrol-blue furniture-dotted gem getting stronger in offerings, courteous and predictive service, and peace. Dinner at the in-house restaurant may veer on the side of hearty and familiar to local palates, but the breakfast and lunch offerings more than prove the kitchen has some unexpected delights to dig into (I definitely recommend the Poke Bowl!). For locals and globetrotters based abroad, this hotel is definitely the value-for-money find you rave about.

Majeka House gave us the warmest welcome upon arrival – much needed given we had arrived from Durban on the tail of the worst storm to hit Cape Town in years! The flight was bumpy, with an approach to Cape Town akin to a white-knuckle ride, and the drive in a hire car from the airport was tumultuous, with rain, high winds and uprooted trees to accompany us all the way to the sanctuary of Majeka House. From restaurant recommendations in Stellenbosch Old Town (a ＜10 minute uber away) to the friendly staff and amazing spa treatments, Majeka House is a stylish home-from-home hotel with amazing staff and beautiful touches throughout. Our garden room came with patio, table and chairs. The bedroom opened out onto a sublime shower and bathroom - a very intimate experience. Complimentary water is provided, as is tea and coffee, although our room was missing the coffee machine. Not much of an issue as room service is available and breakfast was served mere moments away. The breakfast was absolutely delicious - hot options, in addition to the most amazing continental buffet. We felt thoroughly spoilt. We also enjoyed the spa facilities - the husband concluded he had experienced the best Swedish massage EVER! My facial, massage and gel manicure were a heavenly escape and all very reasonably priced thanks to the excellent exchange rate. Thanks to everyone who made our stay so special, including Costa, who predided over the bar in the evening. We whiled away a few evenings in the quiet bar with watching Champions League football! Thank you all. We will return!

Small secluded lodge in a nice area of Stellenbosch. Creative an colorful interior, yet it has seen its best times. Especially the pool area would welcome a renewal. The room was nice. The bathroom flooring in the toilet and shower area does not meet sanitary expectations as the are wooden planks
