This was my third visit to Cape Town and the surrounding area and I was keen to show my travelling companion on her first visit to the region the wonderful things it has to offer. Erinvale was a great place to base ourselves with easy access from the airport and good road connections to Cape Town and the Cape peninsula.... More

Agree with most of the comments made by others. Some rooms are dated and our bathroom needed refurbishment. We reported sharp broken tiles in the shower area which weren't repaired. The sun loungers are in a very bad state and the pool was a problem for several days so sun-worshippers could be disappointed. However, it is ideally situated for golfers... More

As the title says, this was our fourth consecutive visit to Erinvale at this time of year (Feb/March). This time we decided to base ourselves here for the whole duration of our stay in SA - 4 weeks. We feel very much 'at home' at the hotel and love the beauty and tranquility of the area and its surrounds. The... More

Stayed at the Erinvale January 2012 and were bitterly disappointed by the whole experience. The grounds were absolutely fabulous with a quaint Irish chapel, soothing fountain and a promise of superb accommodation - but our room was darkly decorated and furnished with a poorly equipped and badly situated coffee station. The bathroom had cracked floor tiles, chipped woodwork and the... More

Have been to the Erinvale Estate Hotel many times and they are always improving. The staff are always so pleasant. It comes from good management and obvious training. I do hope next year the sun loungers are replaced as they are getting a little tired, as this is the only observation for improvement, another very enjoyable stay. Look forward to... More

What a wonderful place to rest before a flight back to the UK infact we really wished we had booked 2 nights there. Having two young children with us, the family room was more than ample, clean and luxurious, very close to the pool which was ideal. As it was Sunday the lunch was buffet style which usually Im not... More

I'm a frequent guest at Erinvale Estate and come back time and again due to the magnificent setting. The staff are courteous and helpful. The proximity of the estate to wine farms and golfing opportunities is useful and time-efficient. I would certainly recommend Erinvale to visitors.

We stayed for two nights on the vineroute tour. Hotel is perfectly situated near Stellenbosch and great vineries. Rooms are nice, beds excellent, food very good. Staff was not always too enthusiastic, we had to wait for service several times. I was really surprised that wifi is not for free but you have to pay per hour or per day!... More

We stayed at this lovely hotel whilst on a recent tour of South Africa. It is located in lovely grounds and we had an upstairs room in a terraced cottage style property with a thatched roof and a superb view from the window of the mountains beyond. We enjoyed a 'fine dining experience ' in the Magnolia restaurant where we... More
