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.

WOW an un believable day. Best of the Wineries by far. We have drunk their wines in UK often, our friend lived nearby , got married there , and hhad his wedding drinks there, Ann believable place, innovative wines, they do a Pinot blanc from clay vats, a perfect cabarnet Sauvignon . A cheese board to die for, outside tables, great views, loverly local sommeliers.wonderful, vineyards. There’s are so many , how do you choose, my suggestion from an existentialist, hedonistic, Bon viveur, gourmet, gourmand is PLEAESE choose this one. Arrive early, drinks on terrace, a wine tasting with cheese to improve their wonderful reds and a light lunch with their whites and roses. Ask for their Pinot white from clay, a special treat, you may be lucky. Tell Zia dr malcolm sent you, please go. Best vineyard by far, not expensive a delight. Don’t drive their, don’t eat in evening if go for lunch, A experience 200% Thank you all. Read less

This was time well spent, and we felt so relaxed after our stay. You definitely need to stay longer, to feel much more rejuvenated. The team was very helpful in every way and the rooms are spacious and have an outside space where you can relax with your glass of wine.

One of the best properties that I have stayed in the western Cape area. It was nice ,quiet and beautiful.The rooms were very nice,clean and spacious with great comfortable beds. The room was full of all what you needed and much more from coffee,teas,soft drinks and their great wine. They also filled it up with all kinds of chocolate and cookies and all free of charge. The restaurants were very good and they serve delicious breakfast ,lunch and dinner using fresh vegetables,meats and fish. You really don’t have to leave the property because it has all what you look for a great stay. This property for sure is home away from your home and will be my first choice whenever I am in the area. Read less
