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.

A Magical Stay at Lanzerac Hotel, Stellenbosch Staying at Lanzerac felt like stepping into a storybook – from the grand Cape Dutch architecture to the peaceful vineyards all around. The rooms were elegant and cozy, with beautiful touches like antique furniture, huge baths, and complimentary estate wine waiting for us. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive – we felt looked after from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was a highlight (so many fresh, local options), and the wine tasting on-site was one of the best we’ve experienced. The spa is also worth mentioning – tranquil, luxurious, and set against a stunning mountain backdrop. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape with a touch of history and loads of character, Lanzerac is truly unforgettable. I can’t wait to go back. Read less

We had a fantastic stay at Lanzerac. We really enjoyed the entire stay and facility. The staff was amazing and the location was perfect. While there we used the bikes to bike around the area. All of our meals were delicious. We plan to return.

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. Beautiful setting in the wine region. Our room was stunning. Very generous mini bar. We were lucky, as a group, to have the stunning dining room to ourselves. The meal and wine tasting was excellent. I liked how the older components of the building were incorporated into the newer areas.
