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.

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!

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 Then they rescinded that at the end.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.

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.

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.

Wo soll ich anfangen? Die Menschen, die dort arbeiten sind alle sehr nett. Das Anwesen liegt wunderschön an einem kleinen See, dahinter die Weinreben und in der Ferne die Berge. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig, frisches Obst und frische Säfte haben das Angebot abgerundet. Unser Zimmer war sehr groß, das Bad hatte eine große Badewanne sowie eine große Dusche. Und dennoch werde ich nicht wiederkommen. Es fehlt die Atmosphäre, die schöne Stimmung. Die Sessel auf denen wir beim Essen saßen haben alle gewackelt, an den Tischen und Stühlen war der Lack abgeplatzt, so dass es etwas ramschig wirkte. Am Schlimmsten empfand ich allerdings die Dauerbeschallung während der Mahlzeiten- irgendwelche Diskomusik aus den 80ern. Dabei hätte die Kulisse an sich so viel Potential gehabt. Es fehlt an Stil , an Wärme, es war irgendwie seelenlos. Das Personal ist wirklich sehr freundlich, es wurden manche Sachen verwechselt aber das ist nicht schlimm. Das Anwesen hat Potential- jetzt gilt es mit Geschmack, schönen Möbeln , Pflanzen und schönen Stoffen etwas Bezauberndes draus zu machen. Ich wünsche gutes Gelingen!
