Clouds Estate

We absolutely loved Clouds Estate and would absolutely return should we go back to Stellenbosch. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a lovely birthday surprise for my husband, they left cake, wine, treats. It was lovely. We loved our room., especially the underfloor heating in the bathroom. There was a sitting area and a balcony overlooking the pool area. I love a Nespresso machine in a room and they had lots of pods to choose from. Breakfast was wonderful. There was a continental selection along with a menu to choose a cooked option. Also, they had their sparkling wine at breakfast, such a treat (well, you're on holiday, so why not!!) The views are truly spectacular. Book Clouds Estate, you won't be disappointed

Clouds is in a handy location between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, but like most of Cape Town and around, you’ll need a car to get around. We had a huge comfortable room with plenty of space in the living and bathroom areas. The air con worked well and we slept comfortably on a large bed. We had a large balcony space but this wasn’t fully private. Service was mainly fine but there were a couple of issues. There wasn’t always someone at reception and there was no pool service beyond providing some water periodically. Even then, we had to ask a couple of times for fresh water. Being offered a drink would be better service and a way to improve revenue, so something to consider. We lost a T-shirt and asked the staff about it. We later had to ask them again and they had found it, but I didn’t understand why I had to chase them about it rather than them coming to us and alleviating my concern. Food was consistently good quality. We enjoyed the breakfast and the dinners too. Service at dinner was great. The pool was clean but we couldn’t get wifi that far into the grounds, which was a pest at times. The grounds are beautiful though. We enjoyed our stay overall. We would likely return but there are so many options in the area that we’d probably try somewhere else first, as it didn’t blow us away.

What a beautiful vineyard! Amazing views, fabulous wine and a super friendly and welcoming team. We did the wine tasting with Sharon, who was really knowledgeable about the wines and the Blanc de Noir was the best rosé I had in SA. The MCC was also excellent. Our room was huge with a lovely sun deck and the estate has a nice pool and relaxing area. All the food we had was delicious, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We'll definitely be back and recommend to others we know are coming to Stellenbosch!!! Thank you very much for making us feel so welcome!
