Lanzerac

Stellenbosch, Winelands

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 travelled with our 3 month old baby. The room amd bathroom were very comfortable, baby bed set up for us. Room service was great for when we couldn’t get out of the room with the baby. We loved our walks around the estate.

Stunning old colonial buildings set in majestic surroundings. You felt very special with such history but with modern trappings. Great breakfast and choice of restaurants. Wonderful Spa!
