A Beautiful Wine Estate With Superb Views and Plenty of Potential to Be Truly Five-Star
Pros:

Springfontein is a beautiful wine estate surrounded by vineyards, lush greenery and wonderfully peaceful countryside. It's the kind of place where doing absolutely nothing feels like a perfectly reasonable holiday plan!

We stayed for two nights and were upgraded to the newly renovated rooms, which offer absolutely superb views. The estate has a lovely rustic charm, plenty of open space and a wonderful sense of tranquillity.

The lazy river is a fantastic addition and easily one of the highlights. Floating along while enjoying the surroundings is a rather brilliant way to spend an afternoon. The combination of natural beauty, wine estate atmosphere and peaceful surroundings makes Springfontein a genuinely special destination.

Cons:

For a property positioning itself in the luxury, five-star category, a few things still need attention.

Firstly, the rooms genuinely need air conditioning. At this price point, proper climate control should be standard.

The food offering could also benefit from more casual, familiar options. Not every meal needs to be a fine-dining experience. Sometimes guests simply want a good sandwich, pasta, burger or salad without making an occasion out of it.

Considering how expansive and beautiful the estate is, there's also a noticeable lack of communal guest facilities. A proper guest lounge, casual bar or café, swimming pool and additional relaxation areas would make an enormous difference.

The lazy river and newly renovated rooms are excellent steps in the right direction. With a little more attention to the overall guest experience, Springfontein could genuinely deliver the complete five-star experience its setting deserves.

The place to relax.
Pros:

Every aspect was wonderful: the friendly staff, the welcome drink, the views of the mountains, the very spacious property, the delicious breakfast, the eclectic decor, down to the binoculars for bird watching.

Cons:

No time to swim, play tennis, do a wine tasting or go for walks. We need longer next time.

We had a lovely and pleasant stay at Springfontein Wine estate.
Pros:

Springfontein is a lovely farm not far Stanford. The hosts were very friendly and we received a welcome drink. Such a lovely place where we had dinner and breakfast. The room was big and comfortable. A lovely Whiskey and cigar bar on the premises.

Cons:

We would have love to watch the Springbok rugby on Saturday night, but that was not possible on the farm.
