The hotel

Seemingly lost in the vineyards and foothills of Jonkershoek Valley, this hideaway is wrapped in hypnotically beautiful scenery – but is just five minutes from the historic town of Stellenbosch. Since the first vines were planted more than 300 years ago, Lanzerac Hotel & Spa has become a haven for oenophiles. And its legacy lives on, with its ancient oak trees, historic wine collection, original design features, and time-honoured viticulture techniques still used on this working wine farm. You can drink in vineyard views from your elegant room, which opens onto the estate’s gardens. And you can drink in the world-famous Lanzerac wines in the tasting room, after a tour of the bottle-lined wine cellar. On the off-chance you fancy a break from the wine, you can indulge in spa treatments or relax in the gardens with a picnic from the gourmet deli.

Great, but some improvements could be made considering the room rates. Lighting switches in rooms are a mystery! Heating and coooing operation could be explained. Need magnifying make up mirrors in the bathrooms.

We had a wonderful stay at lanzerac and we will definitely be back! The spa facilities were amazing, we used the sauna everyday. We also loved walking around the neighborhood as it’s very beautiful. All the staff were very helpful and always went 110%.

We sought a hotel for our final stay for 3 nights before return travel to the US after 2 safaris. What a great decision to stay at Lanzerac! From individualized treatment, to wonderful breakfasts and dinners. Front desk staff were extremely helpful. Spent time at the pool which was also delightful and quiet (maybe because it was a bit cooler when we were there). Staff provide individualized attention to address any and all needs. The restaurant staff were interested in assuring personalize care and your happiness. The superb staff helped arrange travel to nearby wineries and also an all-day trip to the cape. We felt independent, yet well cared for and pampered. We continue to reminisce about how wonderful this stay was Read less

We stayed at the Lanzerac for one night only. The premises are beautiful and the wine tasting experience was just incredible. The room was very stylish, beautiful bathroom and sitting area. And the minibar was for free …a fairytale experience.

Such a beautiful hotel. The pillow menu was truly extraordinary. Out of a movie! The pool was perfect. The wine tour is also very interesting and allowed us to try all the famous wines and pinotages the region created.
