Urban Feel: Stays in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is often celebrated for its vineyards and mountain views, yet there’s another side to this vibrant town. One that hums with culture, creativity, and contemporary energy.
Between oak-lined streets and historic façades lies a lively rhythm of cafés, boutiques, wine bars, and art galleries, offering travellers a taste of modern living within a classic setting.
For those who love being at the centre of it all, Raw Africa Collection’s 22 Eikehoff and The Den bring a distinctly urban feel to the heart of the Winelands.
These sleek, self-catering apartments blend comfort and convenience with a design-forward approach, giving guests the perfect base from which to explore Stellenbosch.
The Essence of Urban Living in the Winelands
While Stellenbosch is known for its serene vineyards and countryside charm, there’s a growing desire among travellers for stays that combine modern comfort with city-style convenience. Urban accommodation brings a fresh dimension to the Winelands — offering independence, easy access to local attractions, and a seamless blend of work and leisure.
For digital nomads, business visitors, or couples looking for a weekend escape, the appeal lies in being steps away from the town’s best coffee shops, galleries, and restaurants.
Here, mornings start with artisanal pastries on a bustling street corner, afternoons invite exploration through nearby boutiques, and evenings end with a glass of local wine just a short walk from home.
Raw Africa Collection’s 22 Eikehoff and The Den embody this balance perfectly, capturing the energy of Stellenbosch’s town life while providing all the comforts of a refined retreat.
22 Eikehoff – Heart of the Historic Core
Set along the iconic Church Street, 22 Eikehoff offers front-row access to Stellenbosch’s lively town centre where history, culture, and contemporary style meet. Step outside, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by cafés, wine bars, and art galleries, each adding its own flavour to the town’s energetic rhythm.
Inside, the apartment shows what modern city living is all about. Its open-plan design brings together a stylish lounge, dining area, and fully equipped kitchen, perfect for relaxed mornings or cosy evenings in. The bedroom, fitted with extra-length beds and an elegant en-suite bathroom, ensures restful comfort, while the fireplace and balcony with braai facilities add a touch of homey warmth and local flair.
Whether you’re sipping your morning espresso before a day of exploring or winding down with a glass of wine as the town lights begin to glow, 22 Eikehoff delivers the kind of effortless charm that makes staying in the heart of Stellenbosch feel truly special.
The Den – Modern Luxury Meets City Views
A short distance from the historic centre, The Den brings a fresh, modern edge to Stellenbosch living. Designed with clean lines and a focus on contemporary comfort, these apartments are ideal for travellers who enjoy the energy of urban life without compromising on privacy or style.
Each apartment is a reflection of modern sophistication, think sleek interiors, high-end finishes, and thoughtful touches like coffee machines and crisp linen. Guests can enjoy their own private patio with braai facilities or unwind at the rooftop pool, where panoramic mountain views create a striking contrast to the town’s vibrant streets below.
Security, convenience, and independence define the experience at The Den. It’s a space where guests can work remotely, explore the Winelands, or simply recharge in a setting that feels both connected and calm. With Stellenbosch’s cafés, wine bars, and boutiques just minutes away, it’s urban living at its most relaxed and refined.
