On top of the world

Pros: It was the 3rd time staying with MolenVliet as the location is really unbeatable breathtaking

Cons: I felt it both of the others stays too but this time the strongest....this could be THE best locatiom of the winelands but its missing THE LOVE. It feels like there is noome holdimg it together, admiring and polishing it the way nature has intended to. The breakfast was meager and aswell the question for eggs and then after the eggs have been delivered the question for toast have been met with disbelief. All of that should be offered with joy and lushiousness. We stayed in the same lodge as 2020, nothing has been happened there ever since although we were told im 23 that the whole estate is about to be renovated. It does not need renovation but the loving eye for detail. At check out it was confirmed that we didnt consume anything extra while our fridge aka minibar was completely empty. Its good but it could be breathtaking.

Stunning stay at Stellenbosch.

Pros: A must if you are staying in Stellenbosch. The place is amazing. The staff super nice and responsive. Even gave a bottle of wine as courtesy for some minor inconvenient with the pool. Highly recommended. I will come back!

Great location and experience but pricey

Pros: The location is great, very picturesque setting. Very quiet and relaxed setting - it is not overcrowded or noisy. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and clean, and the splash pool on the balcony looking out to the beautiful view of the mountains is a bonus. The staff was very friendly and hardworking, especially TK who gave us an excellent wine tasting experience and was extremely busy running around helping all the guests.

Cons: There were a few maintenance issues - the bath in our room was leaking so we couldn't use it, there was a geyser issue (which was quickly fixed, but interrupted a massage we had booked). The quality of the food was good but not great for the price - our grilled cheese toastie was extremely plain for what we paid for it.

Pros: Awesome view with beautiful nature. People are very friendly.

Cons: We had to wait very often until we found staff. It took 25 minutes until we could find someone with a key to get a drink at the pool

Extremely pleasant!

Pros: The beautiful rooms, gardens; and the property’s peaceful silence

Cons: The limited/ lack of staff support to assist in transporting luggage to and from your vehicle, despite how far the parking is from the accommodation. Also, the kitchen stops taking orders at 17h00 which takes away from the relaxing hotel experience and leads to guests “focused on survival” for the evening.
