top tier staff, excellent at assisting with transport and spa appts. also the wine is phenomenal and we really liked the breakfast. would love to visit again but during summer when it is more lively
We were blown away by this beautiful Estate! We were given the most lovely room right in front of the pond. Lots of birds and ducks to watch all evening and morning and beautiful grounds to walk around. The pool was delightful for swimming and our room was huge and bed so comfortable! Staff was totally fabulous. We wish we could have stayed here for longer than one night, but it was a perfect last night to our trip to South Africa and just 30 minutes to get to the airport to fly back home.
Excellent location , food, accommodation and service was amazing .
A shame there were very few residents staying in the hotel for the 2 nights we stayed as it felt sole less
A very comfortable and enjoyable 4 night stay. Location and views terrific. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good food choices. Would certainly stay there again.
If you have the opportunity to visit Stellenbosch, Asara is a must! Absolutely wonderful location, service food and wine of world class! I want to go back as soon as I can!!!
Incredible estate. Highly recommend this vineyard to anyone. The food in the hotel restaurant was delightful and the wine was of course perfect. The wine tasting experience was fascinating coupled with the picturesque backdrop of the surrounding land. Every single staff member were helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. If I had any negative it was that we didn’t stay long enough!
The property is absolutely beautiful and is ideally located 10 mins from downtown Stellenbosch but still feels like an oasis if you are looking for a place you don't have to leave. The vineyards have gorgeous views and hiking routes and the staff is extremely pleasant. The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable with heated floors and lovely amenities. The only drawback from our stay was the quality of the breakfast which was extremely limited fro a resort of this nature.

Disliked: Amenities
Property unsuitable for wheelchair users. Pool area accessible va a steep 12 foot bank only. Unsafe for wheelchair users. This s needs to be stipulated on website. No accessible bathroom in the rooms. Staff were lovely and views beautiful.
Great stay overall. Room was clean and spacious with nice amenities and a large bathroom. Complimentary mini bar and welcome drinks was a great touch. Guests are welcome to walk or jog around the vineyard. Me and partner jogged around the vineyard, we loved it. The estate is beautiful and the views from the main courtyard is amazing.
Breakfast was ok and not very accommodating when it came to ordering a different combination of hot menu items (was initially told we were going to be charged extra). Then they rescinded that at the end.
The service at the restaurant for dinner was quite poor. Requested removing the chorizo from the starter which was ignored. We also essentially poured our own wine.
Otherwise the service was good. The front desk helped arrange private transfers with short lead time.
What a beautiful place to stay
Amazing food, stagg were great and all in a beautigul setting. We only stayed one night and wished it could hsve been more.
The restaurant does not live up to the hotel standard. We booked as restaurant was open and then they suddenly closed and moved down to bar area. Staff was inexperienced and food was not balanced at all. Ceviche was to high acidity, chicken was dry and when asked for a brandy they served klipdrift with ice not even asking what kind of brandy i wanted. So restaurant was 1 out of 1. Breakfast was ok
An amazing hotel. Great location. Superb staff and service. Excellent food. Room amenities great except bath towels too small, no bath salts or bubble bath yet a massive bath. Drain blocked in shower on first night. Moved to inferior room for one night. Shower fixed and we could move back to our luxurious room. Unfortunately at check out management decided not to refund me for part of cost for staying in an inferior room for one night to what was booked.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Some renovations are needed
Overall, the property is nice and staff are very friendly making sure your stay is enjoyable and comfortable. It is a perfect venue for weddings or special occasions.
The property is listed as a 5-star hotel. Our room, however, had the entire backwall with peeling paint in the bathroom which suggest previous water damage that has not been fixed. This is rather unacceptable for a hotel rated at 5-stars with a nightly rate of more than $400/night. Hence, our lower rating.
After securing my booking on Hotels.com I was then sent an email by Asara on the morning of check saying if I didn’t supply my full card details before 11am my reservation would be cancelled !
The reception staff were disinterested and I felt quite rude to both myself and guests. They then charged my R50 for the keycard that was left in the room in check out.
The bar staff are good and the bar (called Sansibar) at both good with great views.
Sadly though the miserable and rude nature of the check in staff and the email demanding money upfront or they would cancel my booking took the shine off my stay. I will not be going back and will recommend to colleagues, friends and family that this is one to avoid. You’d be better staying at Spier a short distance down the road with staff that engage with you and care about both your stay and welfare.
