The Country Guest House

The Country Guest House Your home away from home in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands! The most delicious lunches and dinners are just a few steps away from your bedroom door!

The Country Guesthouse is situated in the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands and offers fantastic accommodation, scrumptious breakfasts, warm hospitality and unforgettable views of the Helderberg mountain and surrounding vineyards. We're also situated on the same property as the famous restaurant 96 Winery Road, one of the Cape’s oldest and best loved restaurants.

The new winter menu has arrived at 96 Winery Road.

Cosy season calls for comforting flavours, beautiful plates, and dishes made for lingering a little longer.

Come try our Cauliflower Steak with shiitake caponata and miso broth, Biltong Arancini with baby spinach, and Smoked Wagyu Brisket with potato dauphinoise and winter veg.

And that’s just a taste of what’s new. There are plenty more winter dishes waiting on the menu, ready to warm up your next lunch or dinner at 96.

For 30 years, the walls of 96 Winery Road have held more than art.

They’ve held stories.

First dates, birthdays, anniversaries, long lunches, unforgettable dinners, and countless glasses raised beneath these much-loved pieces.

Some have been with us since the very beginning — quietly welcoming guests, witnessing moments, and becoming part of the soul of 96.

From Bob Mash’s joyful faces, to Cameron Platter’s Helderberg carving, to Sumi Gous’ Tree of Life, each piece tells a story of community, heritage, place, and connection.

As we celebrate 30 years of 96, we celebrate the food, the wine, the people — and the art that has watched it all unfold.

Good food.
Good wine.
Good art.
Good times.

Winter Weather? We’ve Got the Fires Ready

Cold day? Rainy afternoon? Windy Winelands weather, come anyway.

All our fireplaces are ready to keep you warm this winter, and there’s nothing quite like settling in at 96 with a glass of red, a comforting meal and the fire crackling nearby.

From long lunches to cosy dinners, winter at 96 has its own kind of charm, warm, welcoming and just the right amount of indulgent.

Years ago, this moment captured the children of the people who helped make 96 what it is — the little faces of the 96 family.

Now, all these years later, they came together to recreate it.

The “kids” are no longer kids, but they remain part of the story, part of the memories, and part of the heart of 96 Winery Road. It’s a beautiful reminder that 96 has never just been a restaurant. It has always been a place where people, families and generations have grown together.
