Rather book in summer when the facilities are all open.
Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and check-in was easy. The room was clean and spacious. Beautiful setting and views. Good wine.

Cons:

I don't feel that I got value for money. I booked the accommodation a week in advance and it was supposedly on special and included a free upgrade, but when I checked bookings.com on the day we were checking in the price was more than 40% lower than what I paid. I feel that the price was falsely advertised initially. Most of the facilities were closed for winter. They only offered dinner at the wine bar with a very limited menu. The table next to ours got a hair in the their food. There seemed to have been a shortage of staff as we had to go look for somebody to take our order and even though the staff were very friendly they were not attentive and the service was lacking. Also, shortly after check-in I got a suspicious message on my phone asking me to verify my reservation. The hotel said that there was a security breach on bookings.com and the problem was not on their side.

Pros:

The estate is a hidden gem with lots of fine amenities. It's private and exclusive with a great backdrop and beautiful views of the vineyards. They have wine tasting and variety of Asara wines to be enjoyed with meals. The view from the room was amazing. The complimentary wine bottle is a nice bonus. Highly recommended.

Cons:

The bathroom basins were not properly cleaned, there were toothpaste stains which was a bit of a turn off. But overall everything was good.

Very good choice for a relaxing weekend away
Pros:

The room was lovely and spacious, with a comfortable bed; the views were fantastic. Overall, the place is beautifully manicured. It's a wonderful choice for a relaxing stay.

Cons:

Our room was too far away from the main building, restaurant, pool, etc. Fortunately, the weather was good, but if it had rained, it would have been uncomfortable.

Also, we came back to the hotel by car from Stellenbosch in the evening, and there were no lights at the entrance gate (nor on the route outside) so not only was it difficult to find the entrance but also it felt quite dangerous.

It was lovely and a privilege to stay there. The room and view was amazing. Little things missed.
Pros:

The staff were amazing - the accommodation was amazing - the complimentary wine was amazing (we purchased two cases before leaving)

Cons:

Items at breakfast were not available... no honey, no pork sausages, etc.
It was my wife's birthday and I requested some nice turn up at breakfast when I booked. The message did not reach the staff so I had to go explain and ask in the morning. The staf had to scramble to put something together. Really appreciated that but there was a gap...

Very nice!! Pack in your active wear! The scenic walks through the vineyards are beautiful.
Pros:

The views are phenomenal. The staff very friendly and accommodating. The room was well equipped and felt spacious. We also had massages that were incredible.

Cons:

The breakfast that was included was not that nice. The eggs were cold and the english muffin was a bit stale. There was a drain smell in our bathroom and the glass bathroom door was difficult to close.
