Besigheim is spread over three properties, giving guests more privacy, a variety of accommodation types and also the SC option., since only the Kouga double room does not have a kitchen. Please make sure of the location of the apartment which you book. All check-ins are at the main guesthouse. The Blenheim apartments (Trier and Trittenheim) are 400 meters from the main guesthouse. All apartments have full DSTV, aircon, Wifi, safe parking and access to a pool. Breakfast is optional and extra at ZAR90 per person and only served at the main guesthouse, where Askham and Kouga are situated.
I have an academic background ,having taught literature and management sciences. I have lived in Stellenbosch for 50 years and have a passion for the town, its beauty and quality of life. My wife Antoinette is also involved in the guest house.
Besigheim is situated in an upmarket, quiet and safe suburb, only 2 km from the centre of town, close to the Medi-Clinic and also close to a very good shopping centre.
