we booked the deluxe room. If you are looking if you are looking for something special this room is the best view on the vineyards right in your backyard! The service was amazing, we felt right at home and pampered. Be sure to order one of their cheese plates which are also amazing. Couldnât have asked for a better experience and stay !
Incredible views from the spacious and beautiful rooms make a stay here very comfortable and relaxing. Set in the beautiful Banhoek Valley with plenty of options for wine and dining this is a great getaway
My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had the most amazing visit, with a picturesque view overlooking the vineyards. The hotel is in the middle of Banhoek Valley, near fantastic vineyards and a short drive to both Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Nadia and the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful as we planned our days. Would love to visit again soon
Absolutely loved our stay here, our room was huge and the views were unreal, woke up every day feeling like we were in a dream. Delicious hot breakfast every morning. The cherry on top was the in-room massages we arranged - for sure the highlight of our stay. Highly recommend staying here if you plan on stopping in the winelands for a few days!
This was a last minute book for us but we were so glad we got to stay here. The views from the room were incredible. It was a beautiful hotel and the staff were lovely. The breakfast was also so delicious! And being able to eat outside with the views were just amazing.
Incredible views and quiet (we were the only guests staying there) but despite that we got put in a room right by reception despite asking for another room. We checked out several days early for several reasons mainly due to the fact that this is very much just a Bed & Breakfast- thatâs it- which we hadnât anticipated. Secondly the night receptionist asked us for money which made us feel uncomfortable especially that given reception do the turn down and go into the rooms where all our valuables are.
Breakfast was ok but South Africa cuisine and culinary scene is outstanding- this was not anywhere near the same standards as neighbouring hotels.
When we asked for the out of hours snacks (off the menu given to us in the room) we were told it wasnât possible as they hadnât done a food order.
Banhoek could benefit from a proper coffee machine which would really elevate breakfast. And as nice as they were the staff could do with a bit of training- on asking about local attractions, restaurants and wineries- we were given many blank answers and check in was giving us a key- we had to carry own bags (my boyfriend wasnât able bodied), figure out how things in the room worked ourselves etc - a bit of orientation would have been welcome.
This small and beautiful property is a hidden gem. Excellent service, amazing rooms and a view that is breathtaking. I will be staying here again many times again in the future.
Beautiful room with stunning views of the vineyards. Near to restaurants and wineries for wine tasting. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff with great service.
Stunning bedroom views from this lodge and exceptional service and kind attitude from Shannon ! Food was also great.
Itâs an older lodge that has been upgraded with excellent bathroom fixtures and main bedroom lighting. Wifi is a little slow, early morning hot water taps need to run a bit before hot water arrives and the sliding partition in our room 2 needs to be replaced with a frosted glass door as the current wooden sliding partition is a little stiff to open . Otherwise an excellent choice for your next vacation !
Magnificent view from bedroom. Staff friendly. Rooms are large but a little tired. Need more than one lamp for use during loadshedding. Need to invest in generator or inverter as rooms get very hot if no aircon on during loadshedding.
