The other food was also very good. Nice to have lunch out in the garden. The pool and its surroundings are perfectly fine for a few hours of relaxation after golf or another activity. Close to the shopping center and to some good restaurants if you want to eat out without having to take a taxi. Read less

We got a Mountain View suite which was a very spacious comfortable room with a balcony and view of the back of table mountain. The breakfasts were lovely and the service was amazing. I loved the various tortoises walking around and the outside bar/ restaurant. Would go back.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough and the staff are what make it so wonderful. Of course the views of the mountains don’t hurt either! You will feel so welcome and cared about and very much at home.

Cannot recommend this hotel enough and the staff are what make it so wonderful. Of course the views of the mountains don’t hurt either! You will feel so welcome and cared about and very much at home. The Mountain View rooms are well worth the extra cost. I have stayed at many 5 star hotels and for me The Vineyard is better than a lot of these in terms of facilities and service. It’s very central for many attractions in Cape Town, being not too far from the waterfront or boulders and cape point. Very close to Constantias wine route as well. Read less
