Stayed here for 7 nights in june, and it was absolutely brilliant. Easily reached by car from Cape Town International in 30 minutes, it is situated in Newlands, a suburb of Cape Town, so the location itself is not that interesting. There is a large shopping mall nearby, but a rental car or using a taxi is essential to get somewhere. The hotel is a combination of old historic character and new great amenities, like their pool and fitness area. The service was impeccable, upon arrival we got upgraded to a room with a table mountain view. We couldn't wake up any better than that. We got our breakfast included, it was served in a very beautiful dining area (the Square restaurant) with a glass roof. The breakfast was superb, the best breakfast I have had in any hotel. Just so much to chose from, beside that they offered menu items not displayed on the buffet, so you could get exactly what you wanted. Specialty coffees we're also served during breakfast time. The room itself was large and the bathroom as well. The beds were comfortable (I thought they were Sealy beds), and the hotel offers a great turn down service. We had two dinners in the Square restaurant of the hotel, both reasonably good, however the second time a starter was served cold, where it was supposed to be hot, after telling the staff, they instantly arranged a new starter and a free dessert, for the both of us, a very good solution. Every hotel makes mistakes, however it really shows quality and service when it makes a mistake, but comes up with an adequate and fast solution, without having to ask for it in any way. That is called true customer service and The vineyard has it! By the way, their 7 course dinner with wine pairing in their famous restaurant Myoga, topped everything. It honestly was the best dinner we've ever had. We would advise to skip the Square restaurant, and only eat at Myoga, when you have the chance.
