“This Stellenbosch address certainly earns its reputation for tranquility, especially given the mountain and vineyard views, and the on-site wine bar with its acclaimed service elevates any visit; the MTB trails into Bottelary Hills Conservancy will be appealing to sporty guests. I think it's a spot that works equally well for a serene couples' escape or a small corporate event.”

lovely, charmed stay

fruit kebabs quick service huge terrace

the pool area was comfortable with heated pool. staff brought out fruit kebabs. room service was quick. the gates open and then the paved driveway takes you to the main house. our room was huge with a terrace overlooking the mountains.

more casual dining options in the evening was appreciated. the main restaurant is quite pricey and don't cater for relaxed meal. we ended up going offsite for dinner. facilities are a little outdated style-wise compared to other estates.
