    Beautiful gem in Stellenbosch 🍇

    Liked : We have booked the villa - it’s really nicely and modern furnished and spacious. Also very private and quiet. The breakfast was very delicious. Staff is very professional and helpful.

    Disliked : Unfortunately, if shower is used, due to the design, the water is all over the bathroom floor.

    Perfect!

    Liked : Absolutely the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. The view, the luxury yet very comfortable estate felt perfect. Just magical in every way. Service and food were excellent - best breakfast, snacks, fresh salads and delightful dinner selections. The wine, beautiful private vineyard-overlooking the cloud laced mountains and valleys below made for life time memories.

    Super relaxing in beautiful surroundings

    Liked : What a beautiful place to relax! The views are amazing and it's very peaceful. The villa we stayed at is spacious with a large terrace. The villas share a pool, located beautifully and so comfortable with great loungers. The restaurant has the same gorgeous view and the food is great.
    The great thing is also that they have a gate directly to the Delaire-Graff estate for wine tasting, dinner. They have a fantastic restaurant.

    Great stay on a wine estate.

    Liked : The inn has the feel of an art gallery. It is beautifully decorated. Located between the two major wine region towns. We were provided with a complementary bottle of their estate wine and snacks. The wine was excellent! We were there off season but they kept kitchen open for our late dinner which was delicious. Clouds has a back gate to shuttle you to winery next door for your enjoyment of their wonderful restaurant. Breakfast at Clouds was very nice.
