We were so looking forward to our stay at Cellars but we were left so disappointed. I must say firstly that the grounds were absolutely outstanding, really stunning and the service was exceptional, however, the room we stayed in was absolutely awful. It was definitely not 5 star standard; it was old, dated, very run down, there were stains on the carpet, the bathroom was ancient and to top it off the cupboards in our room were chipped and stained and our TV did not work. The decor was hideous; so old fashioned and the room itself was tiny. The air conditioning unit was so old, it was huge and very unsightly.
Compared to all of the other 5 star properties we stayed at in the Cape area (Majeka House, Atlantic Suites) Cellars is well below par. Considering the amount you pay, I would really recommend spending your money on a stay at Atlantic Suites...you will be amazed at the contrast!
The only exceptional part of our stay was going to the Greenhouse restaurant. That experience was truly exceptional and one of the highlights of our trip. Mr B was sensational and the food was absolutely out of this world.
The only reason we would return would be to go back to The Greenhouse.
