Enjoyed my stay. I just went there to sleep and I enjoyed the space they gave me to do whatever I wanted.
Great place to stay, especially for short(ish) periods. A friend and I stayed there during the WoordFees this year, and could not have asked for friendlier hosts or a quieter and more peaceful setting, despite it being situated on a busy road and full of visitors (mainly from Europe, it seemed)! Would definitely opt to stay there again in a flash! A vibey, yet soulful place, full of character(s) - cannot recommend it highly enough! Love you guys *hugs and kisses*
I love my stay at Stumble Inn! George and Sharon are so nice and we had some good chat at the bar in the hostel. They also gave us good advice on what to do and where to go. The hostel itself is conveniently located. One thing I don't enjoy very much is that the 7-bed dorm is too small and there's not enough power point in the room.
I've stayed at Stumble Inn before and it had been looking a bit run down for some time, but I was really impressed during my recent visit. The place has been renovated and looks MUCH better than before, thanks to the new owners. The kitchen is better, the rooms are better (even the bedding is better!) and there is security at night watching over the parking area. As always though, the bar is lively and fun (so it's probably better to request the other house if you want to ensure a quiet stay).
Nice place with George and Sharon, the amazing owners! Clean place, a little pool table and a bar. Very close to the city center (10 minute walk), so would definitely recommend when visiting Stellenbosch.
Amazing backpackers in the heart of Stellenbosch with great restaurants and bars just a short walk away. George and Sharon are incredible and will help you out anyway they can. Stellenbosch also has a great nightlife thanks to the university. Be sure to stopover in Stellies for a few days and be sure to stay at Stumble for a great party.
I have been here for a few days and had a very nice time. The staff is friendly and helpful, the showers and bathrooms are neat and there is a nice atmosphere. This is what a hostel should be, low budget and nice.

Beautiful scenery.
