Spier Hotel

Set on a 650-hectare regenerative wine farm in Stellenbosch, Spier Hotel occupies village-style buildings among rewilded fynbos gardens planted with 39,000 reintroduced indigenous species. The hotel holds 80 rooms, suites and two private villas, each displaying original works from the farm's 3,700-piece contemporary South African art collection. Luxury Rooms on upper levels open onto Juliet balconies overlooking the Cape gardens; ground-floor Garden Rooms and Garden Suites step directly onto private terraces. Riverside Suites face the Eerste River and include a dressing room, separate living area and farm-style kitchenette. Each room carries oak floors or woollen carpet, four-poster king or twin beds, heritage-style en-suite bathrooms with double basins, underfloor heating, air-conditioning and complimentary mini-bar.

Two exclusive-use villas sleep six across three en-suite bedrooms, each with a heated pool, indoor-outdoor living spaces, and private chef and butler service. The Garden Room serves farm-to-plate breakfast for hotel guests and seasonal lunch. Veld restaurant sources ingredients from the on-site organic food garden and pasture-raised livestock. The Rooftop Bar overlooks the vineyards at sunset. Wine tastings pour award-winning Spier labels beside the farm dam with views toward the Helderberg range. The Cape Herbal Bath House offers private bathing rituals using botanicals harvested from the farm's Cape Floral Kingdom gardens. A Mindful Movement Studio holds yoga and breathwork sessions. The Buzz Club runs nature play and farm-based activities for children aged three to twelve. You can cycle the farm roads on complimentary Qhubeka Buffalo Bicycles or walk the self-guided River Walk along the Eerste's southern bank. Laundry service, wireless internet and 24-hour security are included.
