Take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Dare to be different, enjoy a true Winelands holiday in the heart of the Cape Wine Route in the Banhoek Valley. Make your way to the Zorgvliet Vineyard Lodge & Spa where stylish Stellenbosch accommodation awaits you.
Situated only five minutes from Stellenbosch at the foot of the Simonsberg Mountain in the legendary Banhoek Valley, is the working wine farm where guests are treated to classic Stellenbosch accommodation, fine wines, an array of activities and excellent dining at one of two restaurants.
The world famous Zorgvliet Vineyard Lodge & Spa welcomes you to cellar tours, historical guided tours, vineyard walks and wine sampling including the award winning Zorgvliet, Silver Myn and Le Pommier labels.
Even the business traveller will feel welcome as the wine estate also boasts fully equipped conference facilities and a stunning wedding venue.
Accommodation
Authentic Stellenbosch accommodation is offered through eighteen luxurious and well designed suites. The Le Pommier Country Lodge offers elegant rooms with en-suite bathrooms and stunning views of the Banhoek Valley, while Zorgvliet Lodge provides Cape Dutch styled Stellenbosch accommodation. For privacy and tranquillity why not book one of the Banhoek Vineyard Lodge suites on the edge of the working farm?
Each of the lodges and buildings has a history to compliment the legends surrounding the Helshoogte Mountain Pass and the Banhoek Valley. Le Pommier for instance, derived its name from a French word for Apple Orchard and rightfully so. The rest will stay a secret until you make your way to the historical Zorgvliet Vineyard Lodge & Spa.
Dining
Scrumptious breakfasts including homemade muffins can be enjoyed at either the casual Le Pommier Restaurant or the more formal and majestic historical Herenhuis Restaurant. The restaurant dates back to 1692 and is steeped in tradition. It is in itself also one of the main attractions in the region. Traditional Cape and colonial cuisine is served and sundowners on the veranda of the Herenhuis Restaurant should not be missed.
The Le Pommier Restaurant with its elegant, but less formal ambience is ideally suited for families and offers spectacular views of the surrounding vineyards. For guests of the Banhoek Lodge, specially prepared meals by the lodge chef contribute to a delightful stay.
Rejuvenate in our Spa
People travel from far and wide to experience the pampering and rejuvenation offered by the Zorgvliet Spa. State of the art equipment, well trained therapists and a relaxing atmosphere amidst the Winelands ensure full rejuvenation of mind and body. Detoxify; treat yourself to an array of beauty and relaxation treatments, including several massages and stress treatments. Body wraps, anti-aging treatments, slimming as well as manicure treatments can all be enjoyed while you are treated like royalty.
Wine making
What will a holiday in the Cape be without wine sampling? Tour our vineyards and cellar while you learn about the history of wine making at the Zorgvliet Vineyard Lodge & Spa.
