If you wish to experience genuine South African hospitality, yet you require all modern amenities, then you have found your home away from home. In the evening, you will witness an enchanting sunset over the mountains, and if you are lucky, enough you will spot an eerie full moon rising from behind the jagged peaks in the east.
This hidden gem features three spacious rooms, each equipped with an en-suite bathroom and television. Two of the rooms also have private balconies. The communal full-service kitchen, lounge, and outdoor patio contribute to the comfort of guests. Located in beautiful town of Paarl, just a short drive from Cape Town, this tranquil retreat will capture your heart. Kindly note that breakfast is offered as optional extra.
"Location was NOT what I expected. No signage to & in the property. People within the area don't know about this property. I got lost for about 20 minutes while jogging, asked the locals but none knew about the property, I had to find my way. Bedroom was ok but NOT value for money. first impression on arrival was, "am I at the right place".Wi-Fi available but very slow, never work while we were there."
"We love the place and the hosts are very friendly."
"Stayed here for a wedding nearby. Cottage is very clean, and looks exactly like the pics. Our bedroom had twin beds, very comfortable sleep. Not suitable for elderly people, as their is a steep staircase to get to the bedrooms."
"If they can be breakfast"
"Accommodation was perfect and the communication and service professional. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it. Errol was very helpful."
"The rooms are very neat, clean and well presented. The owners are friendly and helpful. We were however very disappointed with the area where the guesthouse was situated. As we unfamiliar with the area we would not know what are the more industrial area or more CBD area. This should, perhaps be indicated on the website.<br />"
"First of all let's start with the positives, I found the room itself to be nice and tidy. Perfect for one or two persons sharing.The negatives: first of all the animals, not everyone are animal lovers but there were 2 dogs left to roam around outside that would jump on you and won't stop. I wasn't a fan of the sharing of the lounge area and kitchen, and there was no privacy at all. The "view" which was supposed to be of the mountain from the room, wasn't really a view as it was blocked mostly by houses. the TV in the actual room we stayed wasn't really good and didn't have much channels, so couldn't watch much TV in private. The landlords were a bit too nosy for myself and my companion. They kept on asking how long we going to be when leaving the place to go sight see etc and made us uncomfortable since that is our business. The lady asked my companion if she wants to buy clothes and what I heard was a bit forceful about that after my companion looked at the clothes and said "no thank you". Lastly as we were leaving there were 3 cars parked outside, we came with 2 cars and were going out with one car to go sight see. We were then asked to leave the cars (with people we just met) to move the car at will and if they go out then they will leave the keys with the neighbor (who we never met before). Needless to say we weren't impressed on that."
"We had a lovely stay at ZenTree. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay there again"
"Clean and tasteful accommodation. Friendly service and assistance from our host and hostess was much appreciated. The parking/reception area does not do justice to an otherwise stunning establishment."
"We enjoyed our stay so much , very comfortable, clean and upmarket guesthouse. The tariffs are affordable and the hosts so friendly and helpful.Well equipped. Thank you we will definitely stay over again in Zen Tree."
"We had a very pleasant stay at Zen Tree B+B. The host (Nora) was extremely accommodating and waited for us until after midnight to check-in. The neighbourhood is not great and parking is limited, but the interior is beautiful and very clean. The B+B is located close to most of the major wine farms and wedding venues. The bed was very comfortable and provided a good night's rest. We felt at home at Zen Tree and will recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in comfort at a very reasonable rate."
"Mooie B&B in een minder aantrekkelijk deel van Paarl. Zeer behulpzame eigenaars, jammer dat er geen ontbijt voorzien is."

"A really enjoyable experience for all of us, self, wife daughter & granddaughter. Errol & Nora van den Hoeven are a charming couple and did everything possible to make our stay a pleasant and memorable one. The B&B is beautifully appointed and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone visiting the area."

"We had a lovely time at Zen Tree. Our hosts went out of their way to be accommodating, and the cottage was a delight - bright, modern and beautifully furnished. We left as new friends and with a handful of produce from their own garden. Will definitely be back!"
