"Vineyard Hotel review"

5 nights Arrived 31 Dec 2023
"Vineyard Hotel was an excellent recommendation by Tracy L. In a quiet suburb of the city, it has a lot of charm and an amazing garden to wander around, sit in quietly and read and pet the resident giant tortoises.

Rooms were a bit corporate-like but bathrooms seemed fairly new and good quality. Our bathroom wasn't 100% clean though and there was a dirty wipe left in the corner! However beds were very comfortable and the breakfasts very nice.

Our only complaint was that it's a much larger hotel than we expected with probably over 400 guests and they were fully booked when we were there, which made the staff a bit stressed and getting a table for breakfast a bit of a scramble!

Being in Cape Town on 1st Jan should be avoided if possible....there were huge traffic jams everywhere and we had to give up on our planned trip to Table Mountain and nearly didn't make our dinner reservation in Clifton! After that though we were able to navigate around just fine and did most of what we had planned." See all these reviews: 8n in South Africa

"Vineyard Hotel review"

5 nights Arrived 4 Nov 2022
"A wonderful place to stay while enjoying the sights in Cape Town and the surrounding Wine Country. A nice neighborhood for walking, with a large shopping mall nearby. The only drawback (if it is one), is that you are 20 minutes from the center city area.

The hotel grounds are large, with beautiful landscaping and a river flowing east from Table Mountain. There are lots of walkways to explore and large tortoises roaming around!

Staff and concierge were very helpful during our stay." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

"Vineyard Hotel review"

4 nights Arrived 31 Aug 2022
"We don’t think the Vineyard could ever fail to disappoint. Sheer luxury in all respects and attentive welcoming, service at all times.

The food is superb. In particular, I'll comment on the huge choice at breakfast: the eggs benedict were amazing. Evening meals great too; the tomato risotto had my vote for best meal of the holiday. I like the fact that this is obviously a place where well-heeled Cape Town residents gather to eat, so that is a sign that it's the best.

The rooms are large and very comfortable. Ours had a small balcony that overlooked the beautiful courtyard garden, full of trees and flowers. The gardens outside are very well-maintained and the large tortoises are a big attraction.

We couldn’t ever stay anywhere else in Cape Town." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 7n in South Africa

"A wonderful hotel with very attentive staff, excellent Table Mountain view rooms and restaurant (with reasonably priced menu). Nice atmosphere within the hotel.

Requires car/taxi to get to anywhere central as it is located in an upmarket suburb behind Table Mountain....however very near the cricket ground!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 6n in South Africa
