Our guesthouse is named after our mother Anne Jacobs. Hebrew Meaning: The name Anne is a Hebrew name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Anne is: Favour or grace. Prayer. God has favoured me. People with this name have a deep inner desire for a stable, loving family or community and a need to work with others and to be appreciated. We try to live up to our name by providing our guests with luxury accommodation and everything they need to make their stay comfortable and memorable. Our guests become part of our loving family and we strive to provide them with a home away from home. Anne’s Place is a Family-owned guesthouse and we treat our guests like family. We first opened our doors to guests in September 2010 during the Aardklop festival. Renet converted her mother’s cottage with the help of a friend, Annelise from Decoture, into a welcoming, modern guest house. Originally the guest house consisted of the Cottage with two rooms. Due to growing interest and public demand we later added the Duplex Family suite and the Luxury Family room.

We have owned and managed two guesthouses since 2010 - Anne's Place in Potchefstroom and Fynbos Feniks in Stellenbosch. I take great pride in providing a good service and making our guests feel comfortable and at home.
