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.

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.
A stunning hotel.

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.
Very good hotel just outside Stellenbosch

Lanzerac is a lovely hotel just outside Stellenbosch. It's big and impressive in terms of layout and facilities whilst holding on to old- world authenticity.

Lanzerac is a lovely hotel just outside Stellenbosch. It's big and impressive in terms of layout and facilities whilst holding on to old- world authenticity.
Three or four restaurants, two pools, a big modern spa and some lovely views. We had a suite which was old fashioned terms of decor but spacious and very comfortable. Staff universally attentive. our only issue was the quality of the cuisine. Each night we eat, food went back; it simply wasn't good enough. In each case horribly overcooked meat. That being said, we really enjoyed the whole Lanzerac experience and will probably return.
