Incredible estate. Highly recommend this vineyard to anyone. The food in the hotel restaurant was delightful and the wine was of course perfect. The wine tasting experience was fascinating coupled with the picturesque backdrop of the surrounding land. Every single staff member were helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. If I had any negative it was that we didn’t stay long enough!

The property is absolutely beautiful and is ideally located 10 mins from downtown Stellenbosch but still feels like an oasis if you are looking for a place you don't have to leave. The vineyards have gorgeous views and hiking routes and the staff is extremely pleasant. The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable with heated floors and lovely amenities. The only drawback from our stay was the quality of the breakfast which was extremely limited fro a resort of this nature.

2/10 Poor

Property unsuitable for wheelchair users. Pool area accessible va a steep 12 foot bank only. Unsafe for wheelchair users. This s needs to be stipulated on website. No accessible bathroom in the rooms. Staff were lovely and views beautiful.

Overall, I had a very good stay at this hotel. The facilities were excellent, the property was beautiful and well maintained, and the breakfast was outstanding. What truly stood out, however, was the staff. Every team member I interacted with was extremely polite, professional, and clearly very well trained. Their service contributed greatly to a pleasant experience. That said, I found the hotel somewhat inflexible when it came to small requests that can make a significant difference in a guest's overall experience. I requested an early check-in by a few hours, which was not possible, and while I understood that availability may be limited, I was particularly disappointed when a request for a late check-out of just one hour was also denied. I was told that a large group would be arriving that day. However, I ended up waiting in the lobby for an hour for my transfer and did not observe any large group arriving during that time, which made the decision difficult to understand. I was also disappointed by the wine tasting experience. Among all the wineries I visited during my trip, Asara was the only one that did not allow sharing a tasting between guests. This policy felt unnecessarily restrictive and reduced what could otherwise have been a more enjoyable and welcoming experience. With a bit more flexibility regarding guest requests and experiences, the hotel could truly excel.

Great stay overall. Room was clean and spacious with nice amenities and a large bathroom. Complimentary mini bar and welcome drinks was a great touch. Guests are welcome to walk or jog around the vineyard. Me and partner jogged around the vineyard, we loved it. The estate is beautiful and the views from the main courtyard is amazing. Breakfast was ok and not very accommodating when it came to ordering a different combination of hot menu items (was initially told we were going to be charged extra). Then they rescinded that at the end. The service at the restaurant for dinner was quite poor. Requested removing the chorizo from the starter which was ignored. We also essentially poured our own wine. Otherwise the service was good. The front desk helped arrange private transfers with short lead time.

The restaurant does not live up to the hotel standard. We booked as restaurant was open and then they suddenly closed and moved down to bar area. Staff was inexperienced and food was not balanced at all. Ceviche was to high acidity, chicken was dry and when asked for a brandy they served klipdrift with ice not even asking what kind of brandy i wanted. So restaurant was 1 out of 1. Breakfast was ok

An amazing hotel. Great location. Superb staff and service. Excellent food. Room amenities great except bath towels too small, no bath salts or bubble bath yet a massive bath. Drain blocked in shower on first night. Moved to inferior room for one night. Shower fixed and we could move back to our luxurious room. Unfortunately at check out management decided not to refund me for part of cost for staying in an inferior room for one night to what was booked.

6/10 Good

Some renovations are needed

Overall, the property is nice and staff are very friendly making sure your stay is enjoyable and comfortable. It is a perfect venue for weddings or special occasions. The property is listed as a 5-star hotel. Our room, however, had the entire backwall with peeling paint in the bathroom which suggest previous water damage that has not been fixed. This is rather unacceptable for a hotel rated at 5-stars with a nightly rate of more than $400/night. Hence, our lower rating.
