    Our room (Number 1) located directly by reception and breakfast area. That was quite noisy at times when people were conversing in the lobby. Even late at night.

    Views are unbelievable, location is on Zorgvliet wine estate with wonderful walks and culinary experiences

    If they could do solar plus inverter and batteries for back up in loadshedding that would be amazing.

    Absolutely gorgeous position and views beneath the Simonsberg Mntn. We had room no 6 –upstairs on the corner - view from inside little lounge and mini side patio gorgeous. Amazing staff. So friendly and helpful. Delish breakfasts. Zorgvliet - just next door (drive or walk there) for dinner - lovely. Such a great base to explore both Stellies and Franshhoek. Would def stay again and have already recommended to many friends.

    Unfortunately there’s no real possibility to hang the clothes, so you had to put the luggage on the floor, which would bother me if I would stay for longer than 2-3 days. A garbage bin would be nice as well! And a few people of the staff could be a little more welcoming and friendly!

    Good hotel and location for exploring the vineyards in stellenbosch and Franschhoek! The views from the rooms are really amazing, the breakfast is fresh and good! The shower and bathtub are excellent!

    The toiletries provided are quite basic. We didn’t have any body wash for the shower, only 2 bottles of shampoo? No conditioner. On both times we’ve stayed, there has been some kind of mess up with payments. Both times, I have been messaged after check out asking for extra payment because of faults on their side. Not great when you’re trying to enjoy your holiday and having to make bank payments over non-secure wifis.

    Second time staying here and it was lovely to be back. The views are the most stunning thing about Banhoek. They literally take your breath away. Stunning room and huge bed. Breakfast can be served on your balcony for no extra charge which is gorgeous. Staff are very helpful and attentive.

    Banhoek lodge is a small but lovely lodge in an extremely beautiful setting. The outlook onto the mountains and vineyards was a real highlight. The breakfast was really good and the ladies who cooked our breakfast were especially nice and very hardworking! Our room was also massive and very comfortable. Pool area nice although sadly does not overlook the amazing view which would make it even better. reception staff very helpful in booking taxis and giving general advice. We had a lovely 3 night stay here!

    Not one thing!! Even with the rolling blackouts we were always notified the day before of the affected times and each room had battery back ups.

    This is both an outstanding lodge with exemplary staff!! This one of our truly best stays in all of our travels!! The room with its view of the vineyards and mountains along with the bathroom with its rain shower and large tub was awesome!! The staff was without a doubt the finest ever - ever present when needed for directions, suggestions of places to eat/see and the breakfasts were divine!!

    We loved our stay at the Banhoek Lodge. The staff is lovely and the lodge is set up in the middle of vineyards. The breakfast is delicious and the rooms have a beautiful view. It's a nice location to explore winelands in Stellenbosch & Franschoek.
