Had the most amazing time attending a friend’s wedding at MolenVliet. There was nothing we could fault. Accommodation was wonderful with super comfortable beds. Staff were attentive and friendly, with nothing being too much trouble. The location was incredible, tucked right into a beautiful valley. Would not hesitate visiting here again.

Large estate offering accommodations with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and wineyards. It is an easy drive from Cape Town airport, conveniently located to reach Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and the Wine Tram, and a number of good options for dinner (closeby but requiring a drive). Go for one of the rooms with a private heated pool on the terrace, it goes perfectly with a bottle of cold white wine. Good generous breakfast.

Gorgeous venue. Great for weddings. Had the greatest stay and food was exceptional. The service was top notch and organization was great. Such lovely views and the rooms were beautiful and spacious. The way the rooms are organized was quite impressive. We stayed at the river house which was wonderful for our little family

We enjoyed a site visit that was booked with the highly competent, Lara - from the moment, we arrived and personally welcomed by the general manager, Libby, we just knew that this visit was not going to be ordinary - Libby is remarkable passionate about customer satisfaction and will exhaust all avenues to ensure that her guests leave with a lasting memory of Molenvliet - her knowledge of the history of the region and the farm itself blew us away - this is the type of establishment for those who have an appreciation of the finer things in life - it is truly a gem an A MUST VISIT WHEN IN CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA - Thank you again Libby for being so, so great -

Molenvliet Wine Estate-possibly the most beautiful location on earth! We had my brothers wedding amongst the vineyards on a beautiful autumn afternoon. Clear blue skies, majestic mountains and beautiful Molienvliet manor houses set the stage for a beautiful celebration amongst the grape vines. Although a SA wedding, there were many guests from Asia, Australia and Europe and the venue couldn’t have been a better example of how beautiful South Africa is. The accommodation was 5 star, comfortable and beautifully furnished and the staff were pleasant, very accommodating and professional without being intrusive. I can’t imagine a better venue to spend a few days with friends and family- highly recommended.

This absolutely an amazing place. A small boutique hotel with great rooms located in one of the most beautiful places Stellenbosch, Cape Town. The staff is very very friendly. Its a small Vineyard, but very gorgeous setting next to the mountains. Its about 15 minutes drive to the beautiful Stellenbosch downtown. I recommend you have your own transportation. The Hotel does not have a restaurant for lunch or dinner. Enjoy your stay.
