Spier Hotel

The Village at Spier, a 155-bed hotel set along the banks of the Eerste River, on the Spier Estate just outside Stellenbosch in the heart of the world-renowned Cape winelands, is only 15 minutes from the beaches of Gordon's Bay and the Strand and a quick 30-minute drive from central Cape Town. Holidaymakers who want to combine the ultimate winelands holiday with fun in the surf on a white-sanded Cape beach are in for a pleasant surprise. Spier offers many entertainment and leisure options for both the relaxed and the robust. There are a number of different restaurants, the Spier festival which takes place once per year, the cocktails at Toto's, tennis, swimming, encounters with eagles and cheetahs, horse rides through vineyards, wine tasting, quiet walks through the estate gardens, birdwatching train trips, picnics from the Spier Deli, the hotel spa and, of course, golf.

The Village at Spier comprises thirty-two double-storey buildings grouped around six private courtyards, each with its own pool and entertainment area. It offers guests 155 spacious rooms, including four suites and nine Villa rooms. All are simply, yet elegantly, appointed in traditional country style. The Village at Spier promises to become one of the Cape's premier holiday and conference destinations, with special packages for out-of-towners that includes flights, accommodation and car hire. The Village introduces a new era of luxury accommodation in South Africa. Designed to recreate the intimate and relaxed atmosphere of a small village, its 155 rooms, including four suites and nine villa rooms, are connected by indigenous gardens, walkways and waterways. These 'homes' are clustered around six private courtyards, each with its own swimming pool and entertainment area for your personal use. In both design and construction, emphasis has been placed on maintaining the ecological integrity of the area. Where possible, natural materials and resources have been used. At 60 square metres apiece, rooms at The Village are more spacious than those currently offered in five-star establishments and are elegantly and simply appointed in the traditional country style. During spring and summer, doors open onto the gardens and entertainment areas. Come winter, light up the fireplace and settle in for the night.
