Lovely hotel with friendly staff and good security in a beautiful location. Rooms slightly dated and not as many in-resort amenities (no restaurant/gym) as you’d expect so better for a shorter stay. Also charge R500 per hour for late check out making it cheaper to pay for a whole extra nights stay than a late afternoon check out for an evening flight which felt strange. Overall would recommend.

The rooms were clean, the pool was sublime, the facilities had complete kitchen and fridge as well as washer and dishwasher. We booked a superior room and they had prepared the sofa bed for our child too. The breakfast was amazing as well as security was top notch. I wished we had known about the wine tasting as that would have been perfect if we didn’t have to venture out to Franschoek or other parts of Stellenbosch. Also the views of the mountains and golf course was just breathtaking. Highly recommended.

Beautiful setting, golfer heave, wine lovers parad

Lodge set in vineyards and working winery with tasting room and a complimentary wine tasting. Just on the outskirts of Stellenbosch which is a short Uber journey away. The lodge also overlooks the adjoining golf course where meals can be taken if desired. Onsite restaurant for breakfast and lunch or excellent self catering facilities. Also a lovely pool. Clean and comfortable bedroom. There is a new restaurant being built (with no noise from the site) which will soon make the experience even better. The staff are all wonderful, friendly and helpful and security is excellent.

Faultless. Utterly, faultless.

Faultless, absolutely faultless. From the friendliest reception check in, to the wine tasting and lunch we had whilst waiting for our room. From contacting the reception team about a buggy up to the golf club house for dinner. Every aspect is covered. The location speaks for itself, in a tranquil valley, we had 48 hours of bliss. The food in the Kleine Zalze restaurant is some of the finest I’ve ever eaten in South Africa. Thank you for making our stay so lovely.
