    The paveways to the hotel were gravel, which made it quite challenging if you bring heavy luggage.

    Just everything, which is to much to write here. Dear Team of Vrede en Lust, thank you so much for your hospitality! Dear Michelle & Team of WineValley Adventures, the early morning ride with your horses was just exceptional. The stay was phenomenal.

    Dinner in the Savoye. We had hoped for a more refined cuisine.

    The room, the view on the mountains and the outlay of the estate were spectacular. The winetasting was great.

    there was about R30 to R40 between the complimentary wine tasting and the one you paid for...honestly? both wine tastings should be complimentary to residents ....seemed slightly petty to charge for the more expensive one....

    great location, lovely comfortable rooms...excellent dinner (extra) and good breakfast. nice pool area with bar...staff were very friendly and helpful

    Restaurant was beautiful but the food was mediocre. Steak came cold the first night and the poached eggs during breakfast were cooked all the way through. Again, the staff was super accommodating but we had expected more from this beautiful estate.

    The location is just stunning and the entire estate was so peaceful! The staff was also very accommodating and kind. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.

    Nothing! Oh- except the WiFi seems to just suddenly be turned off at 6pm every evening, not the end of the world but worth knowing.

    We stayed in one of the vineyard rooms, which was really lovely! Nice big bedroom and big bathroom and massive bed! Very light and spacious with everything you need, good A/C, balcony etc, the room was fantastic and the views over the vineyard were lovely. It takes about 30s to walk from the rooms to the reception, which is attached to the Savoye restaurant (the site's main restaurant), of which the pool is right in front of, which makes it a really great place to stay in terms of really easily dipping in and out of the pool > to breakfast > popping back to the room etc. The staff were lovely too. There's a complimentary wine tasting with the booking which was great and really informative, our staff member was excellent. A small shop just by the wine tasting too. It's one of the smaller vineyards but I would say that it made it a really lovely place to stay. I'd definitely recommend!

    When we arrived, there was still a big group of people (wedding). So we couldn’t use the pool area on the first day.

    The food was super tasty! The location was perfect for wine tasting and for relaxing at the pool.

    Fantastic estate. Perfectly located - many wine farms are just a short drive away, and the the tram stops right outside. Our Vineyard room - Viognier - was larger than expected, with terrace doors opening onto the vineyard. Staff, facilities and F&B really great. Will definitely stay again.

    Beautiful location, the photos don’t do this place justice. We stayed in one of the cottages, which were very spacious and very well done up. Staff were lovely, food was brilliant and such good value (compared to Europe). Lovely pool / and a very nice haven of a place. Will 100% be back

    The shower took a long time to warm up in the morning and to get any pressure. The signs to the accommodation were confusing - all of our party went all over the place - needs to be clearer or else send a map to guests beforehand.

    Breakfast was excellent. Room was lovely. Grounds are exceptional.
