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.

We stayed at The Lanzerac for two nights. In hindsight we should have booked for longer! The food was great and the wines even better. We really appreciated our cellar tour and tasting with Lucky. We received an upgraded room on arrival and it was a cute little cottage in the courtyard area. The mini bar was stocked with treats and drinks and the room was incredibly comfortable with a spacious and luxurious bathroom. The grounds are beautiful as well. Lots of little details to make you feel relaxed and pampered. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners in Taphius as well. We didn’t want to leave! Read less

After a previous visit where we experienced terrible service and everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, we decided to give the Lanzerac Hotel another chance. I’m so glad we did, as this time, the hotel truly redeemed itself. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and professional, ensuring that our every need was met. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully appointed, providing the perfect sanctuary for our weekend getaway. The hotel is surrounded by breathtaking vineyards and mountains, creating a serene and picturesque setting that contributed to the most relaxing and fantastic weekend we’ve had in a long time. The highlight of our stay was the wine-tasting experience at the newly refurbished deli and wine-tasting area. It is absolutely beautiful, offering a wonderful ambiance to enjoy the exquisite wines. To the management and staff of Lanzerac Hotel, well done! Your efforts in improving the service and facilities are truly appreciated. We will definitely be back for another visit soon. Read less
