One of the highlights of this apartment is the spacious balcony — the perfect spot to relax with a glass of excellent local wine while taking in the vibrant energy of central Stellenbosch. For added peace of mind, the apartment is equipped with a Victron inverter, ensuring reliable backup power during loadshedding.
Inside, the open-plan living area is designed for both short and extended stays. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, washer-dryer, and Nespresso machine, while the lounge features a smart TV with Wi-Fi, allowing guests to log in with their personal Netflix profiles.

Guests can also request our curated list of the best wine estates and restaurants in and around Stellenbosch — perfect for planning unforgettable outings in the Cape Winelands.
This apartment is perfectly suited for guests eager to explore the rich heritage of Stellenbosch’s historic center, enjoy wine tasting at world-class estates, and indulge in exceptional dining experiences. It is also ideal for nature enthusiasts visiting Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, parents visiting students at Stellenbosch University, sports fans attending events at Bloemhof Girls’ High School or the Paul Roos Centre, and patients or families seeking a comfortable and convenient base near Stellenbosch’s leading hospitals.
All our Avemore apartments are family-friendly and especially well suited for families travelling with babies and toddlers. To make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible, we are happy to provide a baby crib, high chair, and baby bath on request.
