the views are incredible as well as the staff, rooms and location

Maurits United Arab Emirates

Fantastic view to the vineyard and "Walking and wining" activity

Hugo Angola

location, size of the room, cleanliness, proximity to nice wineries and restaurants, friendly staff, views from the room

Mohamad United Arab Emirates

The view from our balcony was unrivaled - a grove of grapes was all that separated the room from massive mountains and picturesque landscapes. The management went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of, to the point they even drove us to a nearby restaurant to ensure we had dinner - a truly generous act of service. Food at breakfast there was diverse in offering, and delicious across the board.

James United States of America

We really appreciated upgrade to the suite. it is beautiful and spacious. I really appreciated Lucinda help with finding places we go to for lunch and dinner, finding other things we could do during our stay. The spa services are amazing. The breakfast was amazing, although we had most of the meals in our room we were given similar options as those who went down. The views are as promised on the website. I loved my stay.

Shirley South Africa

The views and location of the lodge were absolutely stunning. We really enjoyed our stay at Banhoek as one of our honeymoon stops. The staff were friendly and responsive. Great value and excellent location.

Benitez United States of America

The friendly staff and homely atmosphere was really welcoming. The homemade breakfast especially the bran muffins was incredible. It was a really close walk through the vines to the Zorgvliet winery. The room was unbelievable and we were lucky enough to get upgraded to the deluxe room. That bathroom is now in my dreams to build one day.

Banhoek Lodge is almost home to me. I don’t book anywhere else in Stellenbosch. The staff, the rooms, the food, the whole property is of the highest standard. Highly recommended

Vee Turkey

I had a great stay at Banhoek lodge, everything is so perfect. The view from my room is speechless. I can just stay in my room for a whole week without going anywhere. The lodge located inside the Zorgvliet wine farm. You can do wine tasting just next door and it surrounded by lots of great wine farm. I really enjoyed my stay. Definitely will come back.

Sorraya South Africa

I really enjoyed the staff, and the morning buffet was delicious.
