We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Banhoek Lodge in Stellenbosch. From the moment we arrived (the welcome mimosa was a very nice touch) everything felt warm, welcoming, and beautifully considered. The setting is simply spectacular, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and vineyards, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The lodge itself is stunning, with stylish, comfortable rooms, beautiful views, and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The hospitality was exceptional; the team was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Banhoek Lodge is the perfect combination of luxury, tranquillity, and genuine South African hospitality. The location is ideal for exploring the Stellenbosch wine region, while still feeling like a secluded escape from it all. We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend Banhoek Lodge to anyone looking for a special getaway in the Stellenbosch area.

Unbelievable! And something quite special and different. Mindblowing views from each room and a private terrace to boot! We walked out from the lodge to 3 wineries. Lunch, dinner, wine tasting. (We didn’t have a car but uber was totally fine to get around) we went to stellenbosch and Franschhoek to do the wine tram. Could have easily stayed longer: Mountain View’s, sunsets, stargazing all part of the package. Incredible. Thank you Banhoek for a wonderful time x

Beautiful location.

This was a last minute book for us but we were so glad we got to stay here. The views from the room were incredible. It was a beautiful hotel and the staff were lovely. The breakfast was also so delicious! And being able to eat outside with the views were just amazing.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had the most amazing visit, with a picturesque view overlooking the vineyards. The hotel is in the middle of Banhoek Valley, near fantastic vineyards and a short drive to both Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Nadia and the rest of the staff were incredibly helpful as we planned our days. Would love to visit again soon

Beautiful escape in the winelands!

Absolutely loved our stay here, our room was huge and the views were unreal, woke up every day feeling like we were in a dream. Delicious hot breakfast every morning. The cherry on top was the in-room massages we arranged - for sure the highlight of our stay. Highly recommend staying here if you plan on stopping in the winelands for a few days!

Magnificent view from bedroom. Staff friendly. Rooms are large but a little tired. Need more than one lamp for use during loadshedding. Need to invest in generator or inverter as rooms get very hot if no aircon on during loadshedding.

Stunning bedroom views from this lodge and exceptional service and kind attitude from Shannon ! Food was also great. It’s an older lodge that has been upgraded with excellent bathroom fixtures and main bedroom lighting. Wifi is a little slow, early morning hot water taps need to run a bit before hot water arrives and the sliding partition in our room 2 needs to be replaced with a frosted glass door as the current wooden sliding partition is a little stiff to open . Otherwise an excellent choice for your next vacation !
