Incredible stay!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Dec 2024
Our stay at the vineyard was amazing. Our room was lovely, and the housekeeping was impeccable. It was especially nice to com home in the evenings and have had someone make the bed/turn on the lamps etc ready for bed. The team were very responsive on whatsapp too with anything we needed.
The setting is absolutely beautiful, as were the food and drinks, although we preferred Guewels to the fine dining restaurant. We would highly recommend the wine tasting and to also watch the runner ducks come past in the mornings - they were so sweet!
Jayne was also really helpful with my itinerary planning before we arrived too, recommending some local vineyards and helping me pre-book some massages.
Thank you for an amazing stay.

All the restaurants were amazing. From breakfast through to dinner. Despite Clara’s Barn being a fine dining experience, they accommodated both of our kids. Rooms were fantastic, massage top notch with friendly staff.

I was invited to stay there on my last night in town. We enjoyed a wine tasting on the patio as the sun set on the patio, Sommelier Charlie expertly guided us through the estate's wine offerings.

Our evening continued with a beautifully prepared dinner at Clara’s Barn, a beautifully appointed restaurant housed in the oldest barn in the Western Cape. The ambiance is a modern take on a South African farm kitchen. We enjoyed the five-course menu crafted by Head Chef Drikus Brink. As we were the only ones in the restaurant, we were disappointed that Chef Drikus did not come out to say hello so that we could complement him on the excellent meal. Even the ceramic plates were beautiful and we wanted to know where they came from.

The modern rooms with wooden floors and a sitting room, were situated in a restored farm manager's house and were spacious and clean, each with their own hot tub and bathtub with salts. There were complimentary bottles of wine in the room and a fully stocked limited complimentary minibar fridge. The bedding was wonderfully soft, with 300 thread count percale linens, allergy-free down pillows, fine fiber pillows towels with the beautiful lion crest, and velour bathrobes.

In the chilly morning, we headed to Geuwels (Gables) Restaurant for another incredible meal. With a wooden stove wonderfully warming up the beautiful room, we ate the authentic South African cuisine, prepared with fresh, seasonal, and indigenous ingredients.

I would feel irresponsible if I didn't mention that we only found out after the tasting that, due to it being winter, the staff would be leaving and we would be the only ones staying the night on the property. With the vineyard not being in the town of Stellenbosch, and with no car, we felt isolated, and while there was security, we were not informed that they would be checking our doors hourly to ensure they were locked. Being alone on the estate with our door rattling every hour was quite unsettling. If you plan to stay there, we recommend inquiring whether staff will be present on the property during your stay, and make sure that you have a direct line to security. The line in the pamphlet did not go through, and the emergency contact number was not answered.

Room tip: Make sure your hot tub has been cleaned.

Dear Jillian,

thank you for taking the time to throughly review your short stay with us and I hope United Airlines managed to find you a seat on your scheduled day of departure.

I have noted with concern your last paragraph, and as explained during our breakfast conversation, we will ensure that different procedures are put in place to avoid a reoccurrence of such unpleasant situation.

I hope that the unfortunate incident will not deter you from recommending our property or re-visit in the future.

Warmest regards from the Team at Vergenoegd Löw Boutique Hotel & Spa

Laid back luxury

What a perfect retreat after a long flight from the US. This property is pristine, beautiful, and superbly managed. We enjoyed friendly hospitality from arrival to checkout and loved the understated elegance of the rooms and grounds. The wine tasting was the icing on the cake after the tour of the historical homestead. We wish we could have stayed longer!

The food and wine was beyond expectation, both the fine dining at Clara’s Barn and the more informal Gewels. Excellent wine tasting. Cabernet Sauvignon ‘21 delicious. Service excellent.
Accommodation was contemporary and comfortable and plantation just happening. Will look stunning I’m sure in a few months
