We’ve stayed 3 or 4 times at Excelsior, and, as last visit, had a wonderful time. The setting is amazing, Kirstin who runs it is lovely, very efficient and an amazing cook! James who is maitre d’, is also very personable and helpful. Both of them make sure your stay is top class. There’s a golf buggy you can use to look round the vineyard. The wine is very good indeed, and guests get to drink it free, whether lounging round the beautiful pool or enjoying one of Kirstin’s wonderful dinners. We will go back and would definitely recommend it.

Der Charme dieses alten Weingutes ist einzigartig, man muss ihn aber auch mögen. Die "alt" eingerichteten Zimmer mögen nicht jedem gefallen. Wir fanden es toll. Die Umgebung lädt zu Spaziergängen durch die Weinberge ein. Das Dinner mit begleitenden Weinen, Springbock-Carpaccio sowie u.a. Straußenfilet waren incl. James' Anmoderation großartig. Das incl. vinetasting wirkte kurz vor Feierabend leider eher hektisch, obwohl die Weine und das "eigene blending" incl. Verkorkung toll waren.

Stunning wine farm, pool and views.

Had a fab 2 night stay at this beautiful wine farm. Dinner was very good with as much wine as you liked included. The pool is big with beautiful views of vines and mountains. Had a couple of walks in the mornings accompanied by the farms sheep dogs which was great. Very relaxing stay, lots of wine farms close by, short drive in to Robertson, great food also at GRAZE right next to the farm dam. The bedroom was small but we did have our own small sitting room as well and also a lovely stoop outside with further sofa’s to relax on. Really good breakfast, pastries, fruits, cold meat and cheese etc also a cooked breafast to order.

Sensationelle Unterkunft

Wir haben die Unterkunft nur als Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg zum Sanbona Wildlife Reserve genutzt. Wer Wein, gutes Essen (durch die Besitzerin Kirstin selber zubereitet), eine traumhafte Umgebung und familiäres Flair mag, ist hier genau richtig... unsere hohen Erwartungen wurden sogar übertroffen...

A bit of a disappointment

The evening meal was really good and the hotel grounds were nicely kept but otherwise this hotel was a bit of a disappointment. Nobody seemed to be managing it. We would have liked to relax by the pool, but with just 12 recliners for 18 guests that was not possible. Air con in the room was ineffective. Breakfast service was under-manned, uncleared tables, and flies feasting on the cold buffet.

Som en dröm

På väg genom södra delarna av Afrika mot Garden rout valde vi vägen genom bergen till trakten av Robertson. Stannade tre nätter på Exelsior som vi gärna rekommenderar. Fantastiskt gammalt hus mitt bland vinfälten. Goda middagar där vinet från gården generöst erbjöds. Möjlighet att låna golfbil eller cyklar för att besöka omgivningarna. Just nu skördas det och vi fick följa druvan från plockning till buteljering i Exelsiors egen vintillverkning.

Romatisches Hotel im Wineyard

Das Hotel liegt etwas abgelegen direkt im Wineyard. Dies ist sehr romantisch und idyllisch. Dafür muss man immer mitr dem Auto fahren um etwas zu unternehmen. Der Service ist excellent. Die 2 günstigen Zimmer sind nicht zu empfehlen, da sie innen liegen und somit etwas muffig sind. Auch hat eines keine direkten Fenster nach aussen... Die anderen Zimmer sind sehr schön. Abends gibt es eine Menü, welches man mitbestimmen kann.
