Affordable luxury”
The photos make this place look big, brash and commercial. However, the clever layout and friendliness of the staff make it feel more like a small luxury hotel. We were fortunate to have one of the rooms with a balcony overlooking the lake - thoroughly recommended for its spaciousness and fantastic view. The breakfast room and Mise en Place restaurant are right at the water's edge which adds to the dining experience. Breakfasts were copious and delicious. In the evening we dined at Mise en Place and both times went for the T-bone steak - this is a meal for two, perfectly cooked and comes with a wide choice of potato/salad/vegetable sides. We couldn't manage starters or desserts! This is a working vineyard and winery and so a wine-tasting is a must. Additionally, you are free to walk around the vineyards (taking care to avoid any working machinery) and admire the views across to the nearby mountain ranges. Off-season, Asara is quiet, very pleasant and exceeded our expectations.

So much better than anticipated ”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Asara. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. We have high expectations for all hotels we stay at and we were not disappointed. The staff were so accommodating with every request and would also just take initiatives to make us more comfortable. The baby purées delivered x2 daily from the chef were so greatly appreciated! Would highly recommend it.

Wonderful!”
The perfect place to be! Breathtaking view of the vineyards, delicious food, it's a magical place! Got an upgrade to a deluxe room with mountains and vineyards view, this was the cherry on top of the cake. They can however improve on the warmth side of welcoming guests. Nevertheless, a 5 star rating for me!

Excellent hotel in stunning setting”
We selected a Signature Room - the views made it a much better option for us (than a Courtyard or Executive). The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The staff in Reception, Housekeeping, Restaurant/Bar were all very kind and went to great lengths to help us. Klaus (manager) and Shanine (Reception) were fantastic making sure we had the best stay. Food is very good but more options and/or specials in the fine-dining restaurant would make the choice to eat on site even easier. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we are in the Province.

Amazing establishment for a classy getaway.”
Excellent service. Elegant rural style serring. Second floor room with the lake view is breathtaking. Restaurant La mise en place is first rate. Food is delicious. Try one of the wine from the estate, Cape Fusion or Bell Tower for instance. Make a stop at the Gin bar and try the gin tasting, an absolute must!

Nice smell!”
It is a beautiful hotel with a marvellous setting. Breakfast is wonderful. The only thing we found a bit disappointing was the restaurant which did not match with the rest of the hotel in a negative way. There was something that we particulary liked, it is the smell of the rooms.

Wonderful place but front desk staff can use some additional training ”
The place is very well situated with great views of the mountains and the nearby lake. It is defitely a good value for money if you choose the cheaper room options. The only negative aspect of our trip was the leaking in the bathroom, which spread to the bedroom. We raised the issue with the front office staff, but they treated it like it was somehow our fault and were very unsympathetic to the problem. Only when we got to speak to the duty manager did we manage to be reassigned to a new room. Some training should be given to the front staff to treat their guest with a little more respect.

Excellent position but disappointing hotel management”
Spacious rooms and grounds, spectacular views from some of the rooms. Well located in proximity to other wine estates and central Stellenbosch. Excellent breakfast and restaurant service. We did the Bike and Wine tour which starts and ends at Asara so it is convenient and great fun! However the wine tasting at Asara was the least impressive of all the estates we visited. Service was unprofessional and sloppy, the wine tasting was presented in a routine, unexciting way and we were only given a choice of 3 wines to taste, even though we were six in a group and staying at the hotel. After we mentioned we were guests we were grudgingly offered another wine. Not impressed Our friends complained about mouldy smell in their bathroom but even though the hotel was not full, they were not upgraded or even moved to another room. After complaining several times, they were offered a bottle of sparkling wine as an apology. Not good enough in my opinion.
