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 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.

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.

Exceptional stay and service

Our stay at Lanzerac was exquisite. Beautiful spacious rooms, stunning vineyard sunsets, excellent wine and food, and thoughtful service from check in to departure. It’s an excellent choice for both warm and cooler weather; cosy rooms, fireplaces, and spa jacuzzis. I highly recommend!

We were absolutely delighted by the warm and welcoming atmosphere at the hotel. The general upkeep and cozy ambiance made us feel right at home. The room facilities and offerings added an extra touch of luxury, making us feel truly pampered. The valet and turn-down services were wonderful perks, and we especially loved the complimentary wine in the rooms.
The hotel boasts luxurious amenities such as a heated pool and jacuzzi at the spa, a wine cellar tour and tasting, and the scones were our ultimate favorite. The little goodie bags given to our daughters were much appreciated!
We were beautifully hosted by a waitress at the main restaurant, whose name we believe was Alice or Angel. Emmanuel also gave us an amazing and well-informed tour of the cellar. Overall, our stay was exceptional, and we can't wait to return!
