Seemingly lost in the vineyards and foothills of Jonkershoek Valley, this hideaway is wrapped in hypnotically beautiful scenery – but is just five minutes from the historic town of Stellenbosch. Since the first vines were planted more than 300 years ago, Lanzerac Hotel & Spa has become a haven for oenophiles. And its legacy lives on, with its ancient oak trees, historic wine collection, original design features, and time-honoured viticulture techniques still used on this working wine farm. You can drink in vineyard views from your elegant room, which opens onto the estate’s gardens. And you can drink in the world-famous Lanzerac wines in the tasting room, after a tour of the bottle-lined wine cellar. On the off-chance you fancy a break from the wine, you can indulge in spa treatments or relax in the gardens with a picnic from the gourmet deli.

Probably the best appointed hotel room that we have stayed in South Africa. We could have wanted for nothing.
Food was of the highest quality in all the outlets that we were in. The grounds were exceptional.
The staff were all great ,especially around the Deli, we did not experience the spa but the facilities were lovely.
Well done to the team

We stayed in November 2024 and hit lucky for two reasons:
1. This is the best hotel in Stellenbosch if you want comfort, sophistication, beauty and abova all tranquillity. The views are extraordinary, the pool and grounds are lovely, and the Taphuiss was a lovely place to dine in the evening with an Afrikaans menu. [Avoid the Manor Restaurant as it is quite barn like and the food merely adequate to good, although the Mielepap - maize porridge - in the morning was lovely with ground cinnamon]
2. A few days before arrival, we were offered a half price upgrade to a luxury room. Take it! We stayed in Room 505 which had been converted from a stable mews to a luxury bedroom and bathroom. The decor was quite nineteenth century with reproduction antique furniture and prints. It was immaculately neat and clean.
We had a great time and I recommend the Guardian Peak winery for lunch.

We really had a breathtaking time at Lanzerac where the staff really went all out to assist us and ensure our stay was exciting as it was memorable. Luxurious facilities really made us feel like royalty as we enjoyed all there was to offer. Definately need to return to this hidden gem
