⭐ A Hugely Disappointing Stay at Asara Estate & Hotel

What should have been a rare, peaceful night away from our children turned into an incredibly disappointing stay at Asara Estate & Hotel.

Our room was only ready 45 minutes after the scheduled check-in time. Given that we had deliberately booked a short getaway to rest and recharge, this was an unfortunate start.

The real disappointment, however, came later.

It was extremely cold in the Winelands, so before heading down for a late lunch, we switched on the heater in our room, expecting to return to a warm and comfortable space. We returned shortly before 19h00 to find the room still freezing and the heater not working.

Housekeeping came to attend to it that evening, but despite this, the heater was still not working the following morning. Having someone arrive yet again to deal with the issue during the final precious moments of what was supposed to be our restful getaway was incredibly frustrating.

And that wasn't the only maintenance issue. The bath plug didn't work either, meaning another small but important part of what should have been a relaxing stay simply wasn't functional.

What makes this experience even more disappointing is that our previous stay at Asara was exceptional. It was precisely because of that experience that I booked Asara again without hesitation. We came back expecting the same level of service, comfort and attention to detail.

Instead, this stay fell short on almost every level.

Things can go wrong at any hotel — we understand that. But when multiple issues occur during a short stay, and basic room amenities aren't functioning, it becomes the hotel's responsibility to ensure the guest experience is recovered. Unfortunately, that simply didn't happen for us.

When you rarely get the opportunity to have a night away without your children, you look forward to it, invest in it and expect it to be genuinely restorative.

ロケーションや設備は良い　スタッフも気さくでいいがよりコミュニケーションができてると更に良い
Pros:

部屋が広くて清潔感もあった　ウェルカムワインや部屋にもフリーで1本ワインがあったのは嬉しかった

Cons:

スタッフが円滑につながっていない
マネージャーから下のフロアにワインオープナーやオリジナルTシャツがあると聞いた言ったがスタッフはオープナーは分からない　Tシャツは在庫がないから月曜日しか入らないと言われて結局ダメだった
夕食のレストランのメニューが少ない
