Pros:

Asara Wine Estate & Hotel is truly something special and an absolute gem in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands. From the moment you arrive, you are surrounded by breathtaking scenery, beautifully manicured vineyards, spectacular mountain views, and an atmosphere of pure tranquillity and luxury.

The estate is simply stunning, with an elegant yet welcoming ambience that makes you feel as though you have stepped into a little piece of paradise. Every detail contributes to an unforgettable experience, whether you are enjoying the beautiful surroundings, indulging in exceptional food and wine, or simply taking a moment to relax and soak up the magic of the setting.

What makes Asara stand out is the combination of its beautiful location, refined hospitality, and the feeling of exclusivity without being pretentious. It is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway, a special celebration, or simply an opportunity to escape the everyday and enjoy the very best of the Cape Winelands.

The views are spectacular, the atmosphere is peaceful and sophisticated, and the entire experience feels wonderfully indulgent.

Asara is more than just a hotel or wine estate — it is a destination that invites you to slow down, savour the moment, and create beautiful memories.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for luxury, beauty, exceptional wine, and an unforgettable Winelands experience. I would happily return and encourage anyone visiting Stellenbosch to put Asara at the very top of their list!

A truly beautiful place that leaves a lasting impression. 🍷✨

Cons:

Although they are super pet friendly, you are not allowed in any indoor spaces with your dog (that serve food).

Winelands escape
Pros:

Beautiful location with a balcony overlooking the vineyard and the mountains beyond Stellenbosch. Well appointed and clean room with plenty of space and a complimentary bottle of wine. Staff were very helpful and always said help as you passed. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the vines and the mountains was exceptional.

Cons:

Communication about opening times of the various restaurants and also wine tasting could be improved. The lighting in the wine bar and upstairs Sandibar was a bit stark and could have been made a bit warmer.

5 stars experience is not enough to describe our time in Asara! We got engaged here and staff made the experience even more special: everyone was really kind and extremelly helpful! The room was speachless (we got a room upgrade for the vineyard suite as a surprise!), breakfast was world class and the hotel itself is beautiful! Best hotel experience of my life!
