The bed is very comfortable and the free bottel of wine such a nice touch. The property is beautiful and it feels like we were on holiday although shops just a few km away. 2 restaurants on site.We went for a walk - lovely views over the surrounding greenery, restaurants and dam.

The fact that I booked a room with a bath and was then told I was upgraded -just that we only had a shower not a bath. Did not feel like a upgrade - he should have told me that the 'upgrade' does not have a bath... The automatic light in the hallway from the room to the bathroom takes too long to switch off. I did mention it when I checked out and the manager phoned me to apologise . The room was clean, comfortable and beautiful .

Truly a beautiful place. We were on the West Coast and thought that a night in Durbanville would make it easier to get to the Cape Town airport the following morning. We had booked a garden room, but they were doing work on that section and upgraded us to the Pinot Noir suite in the manor house. It was spacious and luxurious, with all the creature comforts -- including chocolates and some of the very good Meerendal merlot. The bathroom was enormous! We ate dinner at the on-site Bossa Restaurant, which had tables outside, inside, and in an open-air veranda area. Downtown Durbanville and several other wineries are just down the road. It's a lovely area, with its own distinctive vibe. Staying at Meerendal was a wonderful way to end a trip to beautiful South Africa.

Everything was excellent.

Our stay at Meerendal Boutique Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The garden suite we chose was spacious, elegantly furnished, and meticulously clean, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by two small bottles of complementary Meerendal wine in the room—a brilliant touch that also served as a thoughtful marketing opportunity. We will definitely opt for the garden suites again. The hotel features two onsite restaurants, each offering a unique and amazing culinary experience. The dining room with its woodburning fireplace created a perfect atmosphere, and despite its popularity with locals, the restaurant never felt crowded. The waitstaff were knowledgeable about local wines and provided excellent recommendations for food pairing. Service throughout our dining experiences was outstanding—prompt, friendly, and attentive. Located conveniently on the Durbanville wine route, the hotel allowed us to explore the area without the hassle of city center traffic. Overall, our two-night stay at Meerendal Boutique Hotel exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The combination of luxurious accommodations, impeccable service, and strategic location along the Durbanville wine route made it an outstanding choice for our visit. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a memorable and comfortable stay.

There was absolutely nothing to 'not like' about this venue.

Loved the beds and pillows, the secluded garden in the sun, the coffee machine in the room, the welcome bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, the food in the restaurants, and the wine. Heritage Block Pinotage 2016, you need this bottle in your life.

Whilst the room was superb there was a very slight smell. This could be easily removed with an air freshener.

We stayed in one of the Garden Suite Cottages and were pleasantly surprised at how luxurious the rooms are! We were spoilt with complimentary wine in our room, a Nespresso machine with pods and bottled water! These extra touches upon arrival immediately made us feel special & welcomed. The bed, pillows and linen are of the highest quality and made us feel like royalty to say the least. The safe in the cupboard was carefully thought out as its size is large enough to accommodate a laptop too.. this was again an extra bonus! We enjoyed the use of our minibar fridge in the room. As for the rest - we loved the convenience of walking across to the restaurants. Had dinner at LaRomantica and highly recommend it! Food & Staff were excellent 👌🏻 We visited the Chocolatier - COCOAFAIR (which is on-site) and indulged ourselves in these delicious handcrafted chocolates and truffles made from the finest cocoa beans (all are palm oil free!) Wine tasting was up next! Beautiful cozy wine tasting room and staff super helpful. The Pinotage was our favourite! We had breakfast at the other restaurant on-site, Bossa. Also a wonderful experience!

Relaxing

Rooms could do with a long mirror, larger bins and usb plugs. The plug situation for overseas visitors is not good. There is one 1 chair in the room to sit on maybe and extra chair Kettles should be in the room. I did request one and they came straight away This is only constructive criticism.

We had the most wonderful time. there are 2 restaurants on site and we had the most terrific food, very scrumptious. wine on site also very very good. so close to all the other wine farms for visits. running trails and bike trails on this farm for the exercising which we didnt manage due to so much else to do. The staff at Meerendal were absolutely wonderful and a super star who should be mentioned is your GM Michelle who went out of her way to assist us constantly. We were very comfortable and would highly recommend this to all including our friends and family. This farm is wonderful. The spa on site is very good also and the new deli and chocolate shop. You cannot leave without a few extra kg's and that was both in suitcase and on our person ...thank you Meerendal team for the exceptional service. we will be back

i couldnt fault anything we had all we needed

Amazing location between the vineyards Super friendly and accommodating staff both in the hotel and the restaurants Complimentary wine Peace and tranquillity Hiking and biking Trails available Food was amazing at both restaurants and the Chocolate Deli Awesome wine pairing experience. Overall this was the best Hotel I stayed at during my visit to the Cape.

Just a note to update the signs on the hiking trail as we ended up going in a circle If there is anything that would make this hotel more exceptional, I would have wished it had a swiming pool for guests as the area is quite hot and they certainly have the space to do so in front of the manner house.

We loved the feeling of being in Cape Town surrounded by the natural beauty of the winelands. Meerendal offers various activities and we enjoyed most of it. From the hiking trail to the wine tasting and enjoying the restaurant. The room was beautiful, equipped with everything we needed and more. Thank you for making our stay so great! Next time we will stay longer than 2 nights.

Nothing. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much.

First of all.. i think i left with one of your hand mirrors... definitely was still going to call if you missing one as i was sure i took my own. the shower was amazing... i would have liked a healthier snack option or opportunity to purchase even - in the room the room was beautifully dark which i wasnt expecting the manageress was souper efficient and friendly thank you... would be nice to even have a simple breakfast option at the boutique hotel vs having to go to Bossa if we had wanted to stay... just a thought.
