Lanzerac

Stellenbosch, Winelands

Virgin rating

The hotel

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.

The lanzerac relies on its wine farm history and location to sell its accommodation and restaurant. Rooms are not well maintained but the biggest problem they have is too many staff who don't have a clue what they are doing and the food is appalling.

The lanzerac relies on its wine farm history and location to sell its accommodation and restaurant. Rooms are not well maintained but the biggest problem they have is too many staff who don't have a clue what they are doing and the food is appalling. We had out of date moldy room service items and breakfast is a nightmare as all the food is open and covered in flies. Could not believe this at a five star establishment. We stay 10 nights and two were completely ruined by weddings so close to the hotel the noise was a nightmare. The Spa is dirty and gym is even worse and so old. It is at the top end of prices in the cape and mot at all worth it. The flash website. The history of the wine farm is the selling point. Go somewhere else and save your money and have a better experience Read less
