Clouds Estate was simply breathtakingly beautiful experience. Fabulous, luxury accommodation set within the vineyards of Stellenbosch. Dinner in the evening was excellent and a lovely selection of hot and cold breakfast choices each morning. The pool area was clean and welcoming with stunning views making this a very relaxing few days. Staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful. A fabulous venue to celebrate a special Birthday. We received a recommendation for dinner at Graff estate next door and we were driven and collected by concierge at Clouds by golf buggy. We hope to return soon. Thanks for a wonderful stay, one I shall never forget. A huge thanks to Sharon for being so helpful and informative about the area.

We stayed in a deluxe villa on the estate. Communication prior to arrival was excellent and it was easy to book a reasonably priced transfer from the airport. They kindly allowed us a complimentary (very) early check in and that was fantastic after a long flight. The room was very spacious with a stunning view from the patio. It was quiet and peaceful. There was a working kitchen with a coffee machine and tea and coffee and complimentary wine, beer and snacks. The amenities were very comprehensive. The bed was large and comfortable with good air conditioning. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of cut fruit, yoghurts, meats, cheeses, smoked salmon and pastries plus a cooked to order hot choice (including eggs royale!). My husband is very fussy about his coffee but said the coffee he was served was perfect. We had lunch and dinner there and although there was limited choice, all the meals were very tasty and the portions large. We had a private wine tasting of five of the Estate’s wines which we really enjoyed. Service was extremely friendly and efficient. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend a stay here if in stellenbosch.

Clouded view this time

A lovely hotel, friendly comfortable and with a lot of nice art work inside and around. We have stayed here before, so knew what to expect. Things were not so good this time in the restaurant though. The dinner menu was very limited, with only four mains. The spaghetti of the day was the same every day, so was the fish of the day on an inedible veg base. There was another pasta, a lasagne with egg plant which was bland the . Staying for four days we had to go out to get a decent meal. Breakfast was great as usual. Our other complaint was when coming back at 8pm having been out, there was no one at the gate to let us into the drive. We spent 15 minutes flashing the car lights, hooting the horn. To no avail. The gate call buttons were not working, and my wife had to squeeze through the gate and walk 10 minutes uphill in the dark to get someone to open the gates. We got no apology!

Very disappointed. Rooms not as in the picture. This is not high end. We booked the new suite which had pictures of vineyard views and we got dark room facing trees. The room was not great - hair on floor, dirty work tops, broken security gate, blocked shower, dark bed sheets (hate that as you can’t be sure clean and not typical in 5 star). The room is new and furnished to a good standard but the wider hotel is really more 3 star and very basic. Staff lovely and super helpful, but the manager had a real attitude, doesn’t want to hear anything negative, didn’t come back as she said she would on our issues and only interested in her margin. We booked for 4 days and left after 2. Very disappointing and wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for a 5 start experience. There are far better hotels for the same money in the area.
