Great place to stay!
An amazing stay. Service was excellent - in particular Hugo and Abigail stepped in when one of our party was ill, contacting a doctor and the local hospital on our behalf. The villa we stayed in was spectacular, with an infinity pool for the villa area. Food was outstanding as were the wines.

I’m glad we stayed here- great location and views of the landscape. I would have expected a little more knowledge from staff on a variety of things and the breakfast was satisfactory. Not sure I would have eaten dinner in the hotel. I would recommend only 1-3 night stay here

Staff and facilities are superb. When checking in they gave you a choice of wine or soft drinks and some cheese and biscuits. They take your bags to the room. They have an on site restaurant which is a little limited, but with the number of guests it’s great that they now do this, so you can have an evening meal without having to going out. This is a boutique hotel where the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Sheldon and all the other staff are just amazing. The rooms are a good size and the bed was really comfortable, the infinity pool is lovely and the views are spectacular. We had an early check out before breakfast service and they sent us off with a huge breakfast with yoghurt, fruit, croissants, muffins, sandwiches and drinks. Typical of the attention to service that you get at Clouds Estate. Just a fantastic stay!!!

We had a really lovely stay here for part of our honeymoon! The views are breathtaking, and the room was clean, large, and modern, and it was easy to get to both Stellenbosch and Franschoek as needed. The team was really helpful, even providing breakfast packs for our extremely early departure, which was very appreciated.

We had the most glorious stay in Clouds. The room and view were magnificent and the staff kind and attentive. This was off season so it was quiet, which was charming in itself. This was our last night in South Africa after an amazing vacation in Sabi Sands and the Western Cape. Clouds was a lovely place to finish our 30th anniversary trip and they were generous with bespoke attention. I would absolutely recommend here and would love to see it in the summer months too. Dinner and breakfast were very good. This is a beautiful area of the country.

Nice hotel, shame about the food poisoning
The hotel itself is beautiful. The views are stunning and the rooms are well made up for a short or long stay. However i have been suffering with food poisoning since we left so i have removed some stars. The restaurant was much quieter than expected and food for the first time in SA did not taste so great. The next 24 hours were very painful.

We only spent one night at this property during the last day of our trip to South Africa. We really wish we had booked additional nights. WOW. We stayed in Room #7 which had an amazing balcony set-up that allowed us to view both sides of the valley at different times of the day. The room was very comfortable, clean and well appointed. All of the rooms have amazing views and easy access to the pool area and lounge. The staff were fantastic. They assisted us with making dinner reservations at the neighbouring Delaire Graff and accommodated a late check out. We were able to store our luggage and enjoyed their "shower room" before heading off to the airport for a late flight home. The breakfast was excellent and taken on the patio overlooking the pool and the valley. The kitchen and bar staff were very attentive to our needs. This is a very small resort which makes it very comfortable and quiet. The perfect spot for a nice relaxing visit of the Stellenbosch area. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back if we make it to this part of the world again.
