Excellent Hotel, good location, beautiful vineyard”
We really liked out stay at Asara Wine Estate. The hotel is located a little bit outside of Stellenbosch but as most activity is around wine tasting and the vineyards are not in downtown not a major drawback. The Estate has a great Restaurant and a Cigar Bar and lounge so there is really most stuff available on site.

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.

Exceptional”
Stayed with Asara only for a night, would love to stay for a few more nights! Room is big and spacious. Staffs are very friendly and hotel grounds has awesome view of the wine estate. It is a very relaxing place to stay and you can easily drive to other wine estates or fruits stalls within the area.

absolutely amazing”
We absolutely loved this place. we booked a honeymoon suite which was amazing. The bathroom was massive with an amazing jacuzzi. We had dinner at their main restaurant & it was delicious, alcohol at the bar is extremely reasonably priced, the deli has great dessert & the staff is extremely friendly. Went wine tasting as well which was quite nice. We had a lovely stay at this wine estate & only wished we had stayed longer. I also got a in-room massage & the lady who came was really good. I would highly recommend doing that. And of course their wines are delicious!

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.

Stunning hotel and gorgeous views - great service!”
We spent the weekend of 15-17 June 2012 at Asara. From the sincere welcome at reception, the waiters and maintenance staff was superb - the staff go out of their way to be helpful and to assist. The Delux room was large, neat and clean. The bathrooms were also spacious with a separate bath and shower. The free WiFI was an added bonus. We had a beautiful view of the mountains surrounding Stellenbosch. Breakfasts were good with a varied selection of hot and cold dishes. We enjoyed an amazing dinner ar Raphael's restaurant on the one evening with a great selection of dishes and attentive service. We really enjoyed our stay at Asara and will be back in the near furure!

Upscale”
Upscale wine estate. Bug rooms, great staff, great breakfast. No gym, old interior of the room, small tv, wine tasting room not at the high standards as the other big estates. Not a 5 star like we hoped it would be Overall enjoyed our stay.

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!

The accommodation at Asara was superb! Stunning views, privacy and great food. If you want some tranquility in the winelands but still only be 10 minutes from the centre / hub of Stellenbosch, this is the place to stay. This is our new favorite spot in Stellenbosch and will be back.

This really was an amazing experience. We were really treated as guests should be treated. Next to excellent location, room was fine, outdoor swimming pool relaxing. We have had very nice dinner at Restaurant Raphael , again with perfect service and view to Stellenbosch mountains. Dinner in the morning was nice again. Also wines and wine tasting were enjoyable.

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.

Beautiful hotel, in a stunning location.”
This was our second visit to The Asara Hotel, and as before we had a superb holiday. The rooms are well appointed, beautifully cleaned, and I imagine most offer amazing views, over the lake, vineyards, and mountains. Staff are charming and very keen to help. Food and wines, are extremely good. We would definitely recommend the Asara.
