Clouds Estate was simply breathtakingly beautiful experience. Fabulous, luxury accommodation set within the vineyards of Stellenbosch. Dinner in the evening was excellent and a lovely selection of hot and cold breakfast choices each morning. The pool area was clean and welcoming with stunning views making this a very relaxing few days. Staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful. A fabulous venue to celebrate a special Birthday.
We received a recommendation for dinner at Graff estate next door and we were driven and collected by concierge at Clouds by golf buggy. We hope to return soon. Thanks for a wonderful stay, one I shall never forget. A huge thanks to Sharon for being so helpful and informative about the area.
An amazing stay. Service was excellent - in particular Hugo and Abigail stepped in when one of our party was ill, contacting a doctor and the local hospital on our behalf. The villa we stayed in was spectacular, with an infinity pool for the villa area. Food was outstanding as were the wines.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! We loved the vineyard views against the backdrop of rugged mountains! Great service, with winderful dinner and breakfast! A magical spot to stay in Stellenbosch!
We had a really lovely stay here for part of our honeymoon! The views are breathtaking, and the room was clean, large, and modern, and it was easy to get to both Stellenbosch and Franschoek as needed. The team was really helpful, even providing breakfast packs for our extremely early departure, which was very appreciated.
Clouds is a beautiful property. The staff, Unica and Murica were fantastic. They were patient and most helpful. The breakfast and dinner meals were very delicious. Transportation with Winston was easy and the cost was very practical. I'm very excited to visit Clouds Estate again in the very near future.
Wonderful hotel nestled between the mountains and hills around Stellenbosch.
Great views from the room, restaurant and pool area. Very friendly staff and excellent food quality in the restaurant (both breakfast and dinner).
Improvement point: staff could be more proactive when it comes to restaurants and wineries in the region.
A beautiful and peaceful place in the vineyards - you feel at home in the very comfortable villa. Extremely kind and attentive service. The restaurant is worth a diner.
This is luxury personified. Stunning views, wonderful rooms with the option to stay in bespoke accommodation. Such as a private pool or hot tub options. There is simply no better view on the Helshgoote Pass. Staff were extremely helpful with nice touches to enhance guests stay throughout. This is a high end luxury hotel with a relaxed atmosphere we will definitely be returning.
We really enjoyed our stay. The service was amazing. The breakfast was really good, many options for lunch and supper. The location is perfect for visiting wineries around. There is a parking for the cars. I would recommand Clouds no doubt.

We stayed in a deluxe villa on the estate. Communication prior to arrival was excellent and it was easy to book a reasonably priced transfer from the airport. They kindly allowed us a complimentary (very) early check in and that was fantastic after a long flight. The room was very spacious with a stunning view from the patio. It was quiet and peaceful. There was a working kitchen with a coffee machine and tea and coffee and complimentary wine, beer and snacks. The amenities were very comprehensive. The bed was large and comfortable with good air conditioning. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of cut fruit, yoghurts, meats, cheeses, smoked salmon and pastries plus a cooked to order hot choice (including eggs royale!). My husband is very fussy about his coffee but said the coffee he was served was perfect. We had lunch and dinner there and although there was limited choice, all the meals were very tasty and the portions large. We had a private wine tasting of five of the Estate’s wines which we really enjoyed. Service was extremely friendly and efficient. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend a stay here if in stellenbosch.
The views from Clouds are incredible, the best thing about our stay was the views, you will get incredible views from most places in this accommodation, your room, the main pool/ dining area and also the higher pool. the room is also lovely, very well designed and modern amenities. They also provided us with a bottle of Prosecco for our honeymoon which was a nice touch. They bring round refreshing ice cream by the pool which is a lovely touch. We had dinner one night which was nice
However overall I am not sure I would rate it as 5*. When we arrived our WiFi didn’t work for the first day we were there in our room, the hairdryer didn’t work, it required an extra adapter which reception were able to provide and this was fine. I had requested an iron which was told would be delivered to the room which it wasn’t, I had to ask again the next morning. The breakfast option isn’t great, could have better variety. The WiFi also cuts out quite a lot especially if at the pools, there is individual wifis per room
Overall I would come back for the views but in comparison to other 5 star hotels I have stayed in on my trip I don’t think it quite makes 5 stars
