    Would have been 10/10 but for building works starting at 730am and finishing at 430pm. Destroyed the sense of timeless serenity that otherwise would have pervaded the property.

    Amazing views over vineyards, incredible sunsets over mountains, fabulous historical buildings, choice of 3 restaurants, excellent wines, delightful pool area.

    We had a misunderstanding at the checking regarding the location of the rooms and the keys. But the security team helped a lot and solved the problem very fast

    Everything was perfect. Clean rooms, a big and comfortable bed. Amazing shower and an outstanding reception in the room with a bottle of wine

    No complaints at all.

    This is a hotel within the Laborie estate, and has all the character one would expect from a superbly maintained wine concern dating back hundreds of years. As they correctly announce on their website, 'traditional charm coupled with modern luxury'. A wonderful room in a superb setting, with an excellent breakfast served. Perfect!

    Lovely estate , disappointing Villa room

    Please note that the Villa is right on the main road with the permanent noise of traffic . Not exactly what I had in mind . Also, once you are in the room , you are hermetically sealed indoors , to avoid the traffic noise, so you could be anywhere. Amd finally, the Villa is quite far from the main building so you need to drive … I should have booked the Normal rooms

    Laborie is a beautiful estate. All staff are very friendly and helpful and the Stoep Cafe for breakfast is excellent. Our Villa bedroom was beautifully appointed

    It's a bit on pricey side.

    I am travelling with my 2 kids and although they do not have family room they did arrange extra beds (at additional cost), kids menu are available in Suzane and Stoep, kids jungle gym is also provided. And they have huge expanse of land for the kids to explore. All the restaurants here provides tasteful food. Great job!

    As above.

    The breakfast was excellent. Very good indeed. The accommodation was off site in the Villa which was disappointing. We were able to move to the accommodation nearer to the main buildings which was much better from our point of view. But we had to move back to the villa after 3 nights as all rooms were fully booked. If you are booking ensure you are in the main buildings not in the villa as you are somewhat detached from everyone. The only bonus with the villa its that it has a kitchen, fridge, freezer, cooking facilities and plates etc. The staff were very helpful in every respect.

    The restaurant at The Stoep could have been better. Undercooked Hasselback potatoes. It would have been nice to have comfortable chairs on the room veranda so you could sit and enjoy the lovely setting

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lovely Laborie Estate. Great staff and convenient location in Paarl. The room was comfortable and the setting superb. Despite a few minor gripes we would definitely return on our next visit to the area. And their cap classique is delicious!

    You get a voucher for breakfast but it doesn't cover much so be prepared to have to pay for breakfast too. Would definitely recommend the hotel to change that policy. Also, the alarm in our room did not work, also not after hearing from the reception staff that it was fixed.

    The Estate is wonderful. We really loved the restaurants, wine tasting (staff there is fantastic!) and overall scenery. The pool is amazing and the Deluxe rooms are very large and comfortable.
