    There was no reception like a ‘normal’ hotel, the main pool is very small with a small amount of sunbeds. Lunch at the pool wasn’t good.

    Beautiful location and view, and the room we stayed in (Mountain View) was decorated beautifully.

    Music selection should be quiet at breakfast and build up. Staff changes play list on our request.

    Beautiful location. Ask about details of check out as we missed that and were not informed when we left the beautiful small building we stayed in. The assistance to the gate is via a golf cart. The shuttle is what locals call the wine tour bus.

    Breakfast room had a lot of flies each morning and the food on the buffet was not properly covered thus made us quite uncomfortable to eat some of the products (eg yoghurt , bread, fruits). We ordered from the a la carte/catalogue instead. Also some staff , while generally accommodating and friendly ,it was obvious that they were not trained for this type of hotel setting. Finally despite the fact that I booked and paid for a manor house luxury suite via booking.com, eventually I was allocated to a smaller Mountain View room. The room was clean and nicely decorated however it was certainly not the same as the photos I saw while booking the room.

    Specious and with great decoration room, nice setting with vineyards and beautiful views, well maintained garden, good location only 10 mins drive from stellenbosch and only 5 mins from popular wine tasting places (eg Delair Graff, Tokara etc).

    Beautiful property, immaculate, well decorated /styled rooms for this vineyard in Banhoek that aligns with the price. The Mountain View rooms have an incredible view, both day and night. Wine tasting on site as well as a great dinner that can be specialized to meet diverse needs. Friendly staff. Gorgeous robes provided by Indulgence Spa Products of SA, which are available for purchase at reception. The property had a water break on our 2nd night which was a huge inconvenience, but when prompted did provide a discount. Buy a robe from this property, available at reception as these are heavenly!

    The staff is very nice, but breakfast service was slow. It is a bit unfortunate that there is no option to get food after 2PM, so you definitely need to go somewhere else for a late lunch and/or dinner. The hotel put together a nice folder with recommendations though.

    Beautiful hotel and surroundings, we would have loved to stay longer. Especially the cottages are amazing and very private. There is a folder with lots of recommendations and activities and the staff is very helpful. The breakfast selection was really good as well.

    Better breakfast service would be to prefer. No staff in evening/night so if you have any problems you'll have to wait until the next day..

    Gorgeous hotel. So calm and peaceful. Our room was huge and well planned.

    There are only two starters and main courses available for dinner. This is not enough for such a nice location especially when you stay more than one night.

    It’s difficult to find any minuses of the property, but I would mention: - very small common pool; - the quality of the dinner is still far away from great. It definitely needs some improvement. - Hot tub is being heated up the whole day. So when it’s +30 degrees outside, it’s very unpractical and doesn’t make any sense to use it during the day. Maybe they could heat it up only in the evening? - Small details matter : we took some cider/beer from the mini-bar, but could don’t find a bottle opener in the room, so we had to run through the whole property to find anyone, who could help us to find it. In the end we didn’t :)

    What a beautiful location! The view to the mountains and the vineyards is breathtaking! The atmosphere in the hotel is absolutely peaceful, relaxing and romantic. We’ve stayed in the Mountain View executive suites with a private hot tub. The room was spacious, clean, richly decorated. Amazing bathroom! The bed was very comfortable as well. The breakfast was splendid, lots of fruits, cheese, cold cuts and menu options : very nice!

    Truly perfect location, room, view, staff, food - we stayed in the Mountain View Suites and had a spacious bathroom with bath, super comfy large bed, spacious room with desk, AC, breathtaking view, and a private deck and pool! The location is ideal at the gorgeous and exclusive Molenvliet estate. Delicious wines and food, staff were always smiling and helpful. Truly 10/10.

    Initially we thought the site was a little remote, being a few miles out side of the Stellenbosch township. But with Uber we were able to go to and from town when ever we wanted,even late night dinners.

    We stayed in the Manor house executive suite. Which is a room in the main house on the property. The room was large and well decorated and the view was amazing. Breakfast was served in the dining area opposite our room and attended by a great staff and breakfast choices. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and when we decided we wanted to do some last minute wine tasting in Franschhock, They had a guide to take us out for the afternoon.
