Pros:

Schöner Blick über die Weinberge, modernisiertes Zimmer, gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Sehr hellhöriges Zimmer; trotzdem mehrfachem
Hinweis an das Hotelpersonal wurde der Geräuschpegel morgens um 6:40 Uhr nicht angepasst. Auch wurde der Turn-Down Service nur sehr unregelmäßig vorgenommen.

Beautiful stay in the Winelands
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Clouds Estate. Everything was excellent, from the location and the beautiful surroundings to the service from the staff, who were incredibly friendly and attentive.

Our room was beautiful, with a lovely terrace overlooking the vineyards. We really enjoyed having the views right from our room, especially in such a peaceful and relaxing setting.

The breakfast was also excellent, with plenty of choice and everything we tried being delicious.

The location is perfect too. It’s close to the main wine estates for tastings and also not far from the centre of Stellenbosch, which makes it easy to go out for dinner, while still feeling completely quiet and peaceful.

A beautiful place to relax and enjoy the Winelands. We would definitely come back!

Cons:

The only thing to keep in mind is that you do need a car or transport to get to the wineries or the centre, but Uber works very well in the area, so this wasn’t really an issue for us.

Cons:

To be welcomed by construction work is not what you expect in a property like this, and even though we were given a much nicer room "far from the noise", it took a while to settle and get over it.

Quiet, comfortable, friendly and a good base for exploring the nearby nature reserves.
Pros:

It is a quiet, comfortable retreat in the Hottentots mountains having easy access to the Jonkershoek reserve and the walkable mountain trails. The restaurant was good and the wine better. The staff were friendly, helpful and somewhat generous with the wine tasting.

Cons:

Although it does have a small swimming pool, it is unheated and the water was somewhat bracing. Guests who wish to spend the day sunning by the pool might be disappointed but that was not our purpose and, so, it was not really relevant to us.

Pros:

This was our second time there. Beautiful location, with the colorful tree and wonderful view of the mountains around. Welcoming staff and complementary fruit, wine, beer and cold drinks in the fridge. Beautiful rooms with balcony. I enjoyed the lovely breakfast, overlooking the pool. Will definitely go again.
