Great place to stay!
An amazing stay. Service was excellent - in particular Hugo and Abigail stepped in when one of our party was ill, contacting a doctor and the local hospital on our behalf. The villa we stayed in was spectacular, with an infinity pool for the villa area. Food was outstanding as were the wines.

We had the most glorious stay in Clouds. The room and view were magnificent and the staff kind and attentive. This was off season so it was quiet, which was charming in itself. This was our last night in South Africa after an amazing vacation in Sabi Sands and the Western Cape. Clouds was a lovely place to finish our 30th anniversary trip and they were generous with bespoke attention. I would absolutely recommend here and would love to see it in the summer months too. Dinner and breakfast were very good. This is a beautiful area of the country.

Nice hotel, shame about the food poisoning
The hotel itself is beautiful. The views are stunning and the rooms are well made up for a short or long stay.
However i have been suffering with food poisoning since we left so i have removed some stars. The restaurant was much quieter than expected and food for the first time in SA did not taste so great. The next 24 hours were very painful.

We only spent one night at this property during the last day of our trip to South Africa. We really wish we had booked additional nights. WOW.
We stayed in Room #7 which had an amazing balcony set-up that allowed us to view both sides of the valley at different times of the day. The room was very comfortable, clean and well appointed. All of the rooms have amazing views and easy access to the pool area and lounge.
The staff were fantastic. They assisted us with making dinner reservations at the neighbouring Delaire Graff and accommodated a late check out. We were able to store our luggage and enjoyed their "shower room" before heading off to the airport for a late flight home.
The breakfast was excellent and taken on the patio overlooking the pool and the valley. The kitchen and bar staff were very attentive to our needs.
This is a very small resort which makes it very comfortable and quiet. The perfect spot for a nice relaxing visit of the Stellenbosch area. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back if we make it to this part of the world again.

Hotel was beautiful, if out in the country a bit. You need a car to get you from Capetown to Stellenbosch and then to the Clouds estate. Once there, the facilities are really nice and space is well used and appears larger than it actually is. The room was quite comfortable for 2 people. The lounge and deck are great meeting places and for dinner.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the clouds estate in Stellenbosch! We stayed for 3 nights, breakfast was lovely with so many options, including the standard buffet. Room was lovely and bathroom had heated floors. Hotel included a free wine tasting for guests and location was wonderful, with direct access to the lovely Delaire graff estate next door! We had dinner one night at the hotel and really enjoyed the food. It was a shame the weather was so poorly during our stay (it rained constantly for 2 days) so we did not get to enjoy the beautiful pool and stunning views. Seamless checkin and checkout. A little more interaction with reception staff and guests would have been nice. Overall, loved our stay and highly recommend this property!

We stayed here the last night of our honeymoon and they made us feel like royals! Rose petals on the bed, complimentary bottles of wine, cake on the house and HEATED BATHROOM FLOORS. Breakfast was included with sprawling options and variety. Highly recommend!
