10/10 Exceptional

We’ve stayed 3 or 4 times at Excelsior, and, as last visit, had a wonderful time. The setting is amazing, Kirstin who runs it is lovely, very efficient and an amazing cook! James who is maitre d’, is also very personable and helpful. Both of them make sure your stay is top class. There’s a golf buggy you can use to look round the vineyard. The wine is very good indeed, and guests get to drink it free, whether lounging round the beautiful pool or enjoying one of Kirstin’s wonderful dinners. We will go back and would definitely recommend it.

Stunning wine farm, pool and views.
Had a fab 2 night stay at this beautiful wine farm. Dinner was very good with as much wine as you liked included. The pool is big with beautiful views of vines and mountains. Had a couple of walks in the mornings accompanied by the farms sheep dogs which was great. Very relaxing stay, lots of wine farms close by, short drive in to Robertson, great food also at GRAZE right next to the farm dam. The bedroom was small but we did have our own small sitting room as well and also a lovely stoop outside with further sofa’s to relax on. Really good breakfast, pastries, fruits, cold meat and cheese etc also a cooked breafast to order.

A bit of a disappointment
The evening meal was really good and the hotel grounds were nicely kept but otherwise this hotel was a bit of a disappointment. Nobody seemed to be managing it. We would have liked to relax by the pool, but with just 12 recliners for 18 guests that was not possible. Air con in the room was ineffective. Breakfast service was under-manned, uncleared tables, and flies feasting on the cold buffet.

Wine farm tranquility
Kursten, the manager, is friendly, poised and professional. Staff provided a quick, tasty hot breakfast accompanied by a wide selection of cold treats. Old world charm and decor with a toasty fireplace in the dining room.

Great hotel, peaceful setting
We had a lovely stay for 1 night. Would definety stay again. Dinner and breakfast was really good. Compliments to the owner and James the butler. We managed to use the complementary bikes which was fun, even though we got soaked in a rain shower. The stand alone bath and heater in the room came to great use. Blending our own complementary wine was an added bonus.

Der Charme dieses alten Weingutes ist einzigartig, man muss ihn aber auch mögen. Die "alt" eingerichteten Zimmer mögen nicht jedem gefallen. Wir fanden es toll. Die Umgebung lädt zu Spaziergängen durch die Weinberge ein. Das Dinner mit begleitenden Weinen, Springbock-Carpaccio sowie u.a. Straußenfilet waren incl. James' Anmoderation großartig. Das incl. vinetasting wirkte kurz vor Feierabend leider eher hektisch, obwohl die Weine und das "eigene blending" incl. Verkorkung toll waren.

Sensationelle Unterkunft
Wir haben die Unterkunft nur als Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg zum Sanbona Wildlife Reserve genutzt. Wer Wein, gutes Essen (durch die Besitzerin Kirstin selber zubereitet), eine traumhafte Umgebung und familiäres Flair mag, ist hier genau richtig... unsere hohen Erwartungen wurden sogar übertroffen...
