Lanzerac

Stellenbosch, Winelands

Virgin rating

The hotel

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.

My best friend and I booked in at Lanzerac for a girls weekend. This was the PERFECT place for a fun, relaxing and glamorous weekend. We received a complimentary wine tasting voucher each included in our stay which was a lovely surprise. We enjoyed the BEST Bottomless Bubbly & Afternoon Tea at Lanzerac Wine Estate - a 12/10 if I must, but go hungry, it is a FULL afternoon tea menu. The food, including roomservice, was extremely tasty. The entire stay was 5-star, from our arrival and reception, the beautiful rooms, the spa and massages, ALL THE STAFF and of course THE FOOD & WINE! If you ever stay over order the Chicken Bites for room service. It’s not what you expect, it’s 👏 out 👏 of 👏 this 👏 world. Thank you for such a relaxing, fun and enjoyable experience. We only wish we had stayed longer to experience more of the farm, like the hikes and vineyard walks. 2 days are just not enough for all the Lanzerac has to offer. Read less

Staying at Lanzerac was a wonderful experience from all points of view. The very large rooms tastefully furnished and comfortable. They have a great cellar with excellent wines. The fantastic location a stone's throw from Stellenbosch, a very pretty town with lots of clubs and shops.
