A wonderful find in the stunning Stellenbosch mountains and winelands that caters to all your needs.

Pros: This is an absolute gem in the beautiful Stellenbosch winelands! The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, with everything one could possibly need for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay (with additional surprise snacks and treats). The views from both rooms we booked were stunning, the facilities exceptional, the staff friendly and helpful, and the food delicious. Will definitely be returning. It is well worth taking a scenic walk to the neighbouring wine estates. Watching the sun rise on the mountains is also highly recommended.

Ultimate relaxation amongst the vineyards

Pros: A beautiful room in a truly spectacular setting surrounded by vineyards and mountains. With lots of beautiful wineries and restaurants a walk or short taxi away you’re spoilt for choice (although it’s tempting to not leave your own balcony)! The bath with views across the vines and lovely bath salts was the perfect relaxing end to our day! The team at Banhoek Lodge were incredibly friendly and helpful and made our stay extra special.

Cons: Nothing to say here really. Occasionally the noise from the main road was a little loud when there was more traffic, but it was quiet at night.
