Simply charming
Pros:

From the stunning entrance, the beautiful gardens, the captivating dinning room and the sheer charm of the staff you instinctively know that Lanzerac is a true gem. It fully deserves all the accolades it gets.

Wonderful Service, Wonderful Hotel
Pros:

We travelled with our 3 young children and had a truly wonderful experience at Lanzerac. From staff going out of their way to help with the kiddies, lovely outdoor dining and wonderful wine. The facilities were clean, well taken care of and even though we were there for business we were able to unwind and enjoy our free time with our family. You will not be disappointed to visit this lovely establishment.

Wonderful Stellanbosch hotel
Pros:

This hotel is absolutely amazing from the moment you arrive!
Stunning location with beautiful grounds set against the backdrop of the mountains
Our room was superb with every home comfort you could wish for. The bathroom was awesome with a large shower and huge tub bath. Great for relaxing in after a hard day wine tasting! We also loved the pool we shared either 2 other rooms
There was also a mini bar included that they refilled each day
Food is superb. We enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu one evening with wine flight and that was devine. Food in the more relaxed pub style restaurant was also very good as was breakfast which had an enormous buffet and then hot food to order
A free wine tasting and cellar tour was also included in the room price
A definite must do in Stellanbosch and we will be back! Thank you!

The hotel has an outstanding location and a peaceful setting, which are its greatest strengths. However, improvements in
Pros:

During the reservation process, I was shown photos of a specific upgraded room and completed my booking after receiving the room number for that upgrade.
However, upon arrival at the hotel, I was assigned a different room instead of the one shown in the photos and confirmed during booking.

As a result, I clearly stated that I would not accept or pay for the upgrade. The hotel management subsequently withdrew the upgrade charge; however, I did not stay in the room I originally selected, and unfortunately, my stay began with dissatisfaction due to this experience.

Positive Aspects
• Location: The hotel’s location is truly its strongest asset. It is beautiful, calm, and very special.
• Peaceful atmosphere: The overall environment is quiet and relaxing.
• Pool area: Pleasant to use, though somewhat limited in size.

Cons:

Areas for Improvement
• Rooms & Decoration:
While the rooms are spacious, they feel overly furnished and visually busy. There are too many decorative elements and pillows, which detracts from comfort. A more minimal, modern, and simplified design would significantly enhance the guest experience.
• Modernization:
The hotel would benefit greatly from a general modernization, particularly in room interiors and décor. Given such an exceptional location, the current style feels dated and does not fully reflect the potential of the property.
• Restaurants & Dining Options:
The dining facilities are limited. With only two restaurants, outdoor seating options are insufficient—especially during summer. We preferred not to dine indoors with air conditioning, and finding available outdoor seating was challenging.
Considering the hotel’s location, I strongly believe there is a need for more and better-designed outdoor restaurant spaces.
• Pool Facilities:
The pool area feels too small for the size and positioning of the hotel. A larger pool would be more suitable and enhance overall guest satisfaction.

PURE HEAVEN - 7 STAR RATING
Pros:

This Hotel and Spa is pure heaven. We are treated like Royalty. We have been coming back year after year because this Hotel and Spa are bliss.

The staff all know us by name and are always smiling, always ready to assist and help us enjoy what is a 7 Star Hotel.

Tiaan, the Operations Manager, ensures that everyone and everything goes like clockwork.

He has a fantastic staff including the deputy manager, Nathan, the wonderful Gwen, in charge of housekeeping for whom nothing is too much trouble, and Mona, who has been at Lanzerac for many years and always greets us with such a lovely smile; the lovely waiters and waitresses, including the fabulous Bongi who always comes to our table and is so pleased to see us; the fabulous Lynette who remembers everything we like to eat and drink and is the sweetest, most charming and most efficient waitress; the lovely others including Romeo, Henrico; Mihlali; Aaron; Elijah; Kuphela and Oli.

We love our room, 202, with its private terrace which shares a private pool and loungers with just two other rooms.

The Deli and tasting rooms are superb.

The chefs need special praise. They will make anything we ask off the menu and everything they make is delicious and beautifully presented.

The grounds are beautiful and beautifully maintained.

This is why we return year after year. Thank you to Tiaan and his staff for making our holiday in February every year so enjoyable."

Perfect experience
Pros:

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. This was our second time back at the Lanzarac and I hope to come back again. The grounds are stunning and the rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated with large bathrooms. The hotel is a short drive from lots of beautiful vineyards and about 25 minutes from Franschhoek and tends to be much better value than some of the estates there. The food is incredible and the service is outstanding. There are plenty of little touches like sparkling wine on arrival, free mini bar, complimentary shuttle and amazing breakfast included that make you feel spoiled. The gym is well equipped and the pool area lovely. Highly recommend!
