From the Caribbean to Lake Como, More Hotels Are Embracing the Off Season | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set in Cape Dutch–style buildings on a winery in Stellenbosch, I found the reimagined Spier Hotel courting winter travelers—especially those who might otherwise head to safari—through a winter wellness package that includes steam and sauna on chilly days; with lower prices in winter guests can stay longer to enjoy clear skies and crisp mornings, and as brand manager Aimee Raymond puts it, “the atmosphere is gentler.”" - Mary Holland

"Around since 1692, Spier is one of the oldest and best-known wineries in Stellenbosch. Not only does this historic estate continue to receive accolades for its wine, it’s also become a hot spot for travelers thanks to its family-friendly atmosphere. Visitors can easily spend anywhere from a couple hours to an entire day enjoying all the activities Spier has to offer, from picnics on the lawn overlooking the Eerste River to self-guided walking tours of the property. There’s also a farm-to-table restaurant on-site, as well as an outdoor playground for children. For something unique, book the “Eagle Encounter” program to learn how the estate rehabilitates wounded birds and uses them for natural pest control, or take an evening Segway tour of the vineyards, followed by a sunset tasting among the vines."

An absolutely outstanding stay at Spier Hotel in Stellenbosch! From the moment we arrived, every member of the team made us feel genuinely welcome – warm smiles everywhere and true attention to detail. The service and food were exceptional – fresh, beautifully presented and full of flavour. What impressed us most was how everyone thought ahead for the guests’ comfort; nothing ever felt like too much effort. Our children were greeted with the same warmth and kindness, making the whole experience relaxed and joyful for the family. A wonderful place where hospitality is lived, not just offered. We left inspired and grateful – a definite five stars!

In a Cape wine lands area that has an abundance of truly lovely resort style hotels, Spier holds its own. Fresh off its March renovation, the place looks great. Beautiful design in keeping with the location. Amazing extensive, grounds with naturalistic landscaping. High quality food. Plentiful and helpful and friendly staff. We had a couple of missteps that were handled with perfect grace and sincerity. Go for the suites which were large and very comfortable. Overall a terrific, gorgeous place; we weren’t ready to leave. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends.

This hotel is newly renovated with clean grounds, friendly service, comfortable rooms and lots to do (especially for families with young children). I don’t drink so I can’t review the wine/vineyard but the hotel was excellent. I would have give it 5 stars but the food menu could use some work. There was not many options for people (such as myself) that do not eat meat. I would like more fish options but I understand that’s not a concern to most guests. Overall, this hotel is a good choice and I would stay again.

friendly staff. Nice room, although quite far from the hotel. Breakfast is good and the gardens are amazing. But: 1) we had to pay extra for using the (too hot) steam room and this is extremely unusual in a hotel where you stay as a guest and book a spa session. Its a minimal amount but I feel its not justified. 2) after dinner we planned to watch the last episode of a Netflix series but several staff members where not capable of making it work. The process was time consuming and frustrating. 3) the music in the restaurant and around the pool is most of the time quite depressing. Staff agreed but was not able to change the selection 4) food in Veld was not exciting: my ceviche had too much vinegar, yellow tail was too dry, my partners courgette starter was smothered in too much cream cheese. Het cauliflower steak was nice. 5) the gym is tucked away in a far away building and is very uninspiring. Decent cardio machines and free weights but other equipment not well selected.

The best hotel I’ve ever been to! Beautiful rooms, delicious food, exceptional wines and drinks and the most beautiful nature around. The whole concept is a 12/10! The staff is very polite, friendly and aims for the best service. I can also highly recommend the spa and the wine experience with a really educated sommelier who shared a lot about the wines but also about the personalities behind this great place!

From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel completely at home. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make my stay perfect. The recent renovation is stunning — modern, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that make a real difference. Every corner feels fresh and inviting, yet the atmosphere is still warm and personal. Truly exceptional service and comfort — I can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Estate and Hotel. Attentive staff, spacious rooms. Tasteful decoration. Great pool. Bicycles and Segways available. Free snacks & beverages. Good breakfast. Only negative, is that walls aren‘t very sound proof and that, at breakfast, there aren‘t any beverages nor essentials such as butter at the buffet. You need to ask specifically and can take a while.

We booked the harvest experience at the Spier Food Garden and had such a great time! I want to complement JOY who showed us around and was incredibly kind to our 2 young children - showing them how to pull the carrots from the ground, and helped them wash the bounty we picked! Thank you for making it a memorable morning for our family!
