“Vineyard manor serenity, one dirty floor”
Sugarbird Manor is a beautiful art-filled retreat among Stellenbosch vineyards: gorgeous rooms with amazing bathrooms and huge baths, stunning views, birdsong mornings, spotless and inviting interiors, warm helpful staff including an accommodating owner, and breakfasts called beyond expectations — with early room prep on request. Weddings and quiet escapes both suit it. One clear complaint: a guest in one of the most expensive rooms found the floor dirty with dust and hair clumps along the edges, and felt the apology insufficient. Minor notes: milk runs short for a second cup, and one loud guest once broke the peace.
