Top Helderberg Rural Hotel Reviews

Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very service oriented staff, from meeting the airport shuttle to checking in and the breakfast and checking out was great. Standard king room was everything we needed for an overnight rest before continuing on our travels."

Mont Rochelle Hotel & Vineyard

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful estate and outstanding hospitality. The room was clean and cosy, had a neat little balcony for you to sit outside in the evening. Breakfast was always hearty and generous in portions. There was also a tennis court onsite which we didn’t know about, so that was a good surprise. The estate is on the wine tram line so it’s really easy if u just wanna hop on and off to other places with no trouble. Overall 10/10 Wished we had longer stay!"

Clouds Estate

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved Clouds Estate and would absolutely return should we go back to Stellenbosch. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a lovely birthday surprise for my husband, they left cake, wine, treats. It was lovely. We loved our room., especially the underfloor heating in the bathroom. There was a sitting area and a balcony overlooking the pool area. I love a Nespresso machine in a room and they had lots of pods to choose from. Breakfast was wonderful. There was a continental selection along with a menu to choose a cooked option. Also, they had their sparkling wine at breakfast, such a treat (well, you're on holiday, so why not!!) The views are truly spectacular. Book Clouds Estate, you won't be disappointed"
