What a truly 5 star experience ! Yesterday evening I came back to the room, my slippers were standing next to my bed, the TV guide opened on the page of that day with the remote next to it. Together with a little card informing me about tomorrow s weather. All staff is very friendly, breakfast selection is fantastic !... More

The views are lovely, no matter where you look. There are some great places to walk among the vineyards. Our room was beautiful, and staff was friendly and well intentioned. Service can be slow in this part of the world but they were pretty good. I was a little disappointed that the tapas and bistro place was closed (out of... More

When we arrived at Asara we were directed to park at reception and a valet drove our car to the parking for us. At reception we were told we had been given a free upgrade, a very friendly and informative concierge took our bags and showed us to our room, a short walk away, whilst telling us lots about Asara....

Although the rooms are new and large, there seems to be no individuality as one would expect at a wine estate. The facilities are large and very commercialized. The little boutique shop was enjoyable with interesting little eateries for in-between. The restaurant was far from gourmet and one certainly gets the feeling that main dishes are already dished up and... More

Hotel Asara is a picturesque hotel perfectly situated to explore Stellenbosch and the surrounding area but our two-night stay was ruined by the fact that personal items were stolen from our room. To make matters worse we have received appalling customer service since - as bad as I have experienced anywhere in the world. When my girlfriend and I came... More

Stayed here for one night over a weekend. Large and very comfortable room, with a lovely bathroom. The property and views are absolutely beautiful - made even better by the lovely sunshine we had. All the staff we dealt with were excellent. Asara is a high standard establishment, we highly recommend it and hope to return for a longer stay!

It had a wrap around balcony and a separate lounge area. When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and a glass of amazing white cab wine, my husband... More

Lovely setting in a relaxing environment with great service to match as we enjoyed our 2 night stay after a hectic few days in central Cape Town. The room 201 we were allocated was very spacious and after cramped conditions in Cape town a bathroom to die for! The main restaurant is used for breakfast and as there are limited... More

So glad we paid a bit extra to stay here, make sure you stay in one of the vineyard view rooms, the views are stunning. We were lucky to have been put in one of the top floor corner rooms and were the last to see the sun at the end of the day. Great breakfast, one of the best... More
