The Spier Hotel

Food was the most disappointment. Only two of four restaurants were opened, the service was very low level except breakfast restaurant. In the restaurants, they have lot of servers but only few were working or available to give services. They must maintain or renew explanations concerning their expositions of arts, we couldn’t read almost nothing. They also must provide information for the activities available around. The time table for wine tasting is not good because they start at morning and finish at 16h, we preferred to do healthy activities like cycling or hiking at morning and finish the day with wine tasting at evening. They don’t maintain well bicycles neither cycling roads & indications. We rent 4 bicycles and needed small repairs during the course, and indication panels were broken, we couldn’t make cycling of 10km so we only did around nearest the hôtel. The qualities of their wine were standards except Chenin Blanc comparing French, Spanish, Chilean or Argentinian wines.

My husband and I stayed 1 night on our honeymoon and wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel was beautiful and the ground were much larger than we expected. We loved walking the river walk and seeing all the beautiful flowers and birds. The hospitality of the hotel was spectacular! They left us a bottle of wine, a congratulatory dessert, and decorated our bed with rose petals! It was very romantic and greatly appreciated. We will definitely be back!

Great rooms but incredible place to be and visit: wine tasting, walking path, art to admire, super friendly and professional staff, ... an very pleasant stay. HIGHLY recommended!!!

We went for an overnight for the mountain bike race and was delightfully surprised to have such a private space especially it being a hotel. We loved the "flatlet" style of the rooms which is much more private than the normal hotel rooms. Service at the reception desk was phenomenal, loved they hospitality of the staff, enjoyed the food at the restaurant too.

Beautiful property, eagle encounters, and great wine!

Very familiar environment. Very good for the price Excellent staff

There are many far better places to stay around Stellenbosch. Spier seem to have the edge when it comes to marketing, however every aspect of the hotel and service is decidedly average when you get there

We attended a family wedding close by and this was a fantastic place to stay. Such friendly staff, beautiful property, amazing food, stunning wines and very comfortable rooms - loved coming back to the roaring fire in the bar at the end of the day!

Spier is the oldest wine making estate in South Africa and the hotel is a reflection of this heritage. Expect beautiful grounds, historic buildings and spacious rooms. They pride themselves on delivering great customer service, starting with the welcome glass of wine at checkin. All the restaurants offer amazing food, though Vadas Smoke House and Bakery was my favourite. I would definitely recommend Spier and hope I get another chance to stay there again.

Wiseguy at the hotel was very helpful, went above and beyond for us with regards to our little kids needs etc. Free Play Center where you can leave your kids for a few hours meant we had a bit of holiday too... We booked another night at the end of our trip as everyone looked after us so well and it’s so close to the airport.
