Asara is situated just 4kms from Stellenbosch and 25kms from Cape Town International Airport, making it ideal as a base from which to discover and explore the fabulous Cape Winelands, and further afield in the Western Cape.

Coming from busy Camps Bay, driving up the beautiful alley, we could immediately feel the pulse lower. Both buildings and gardens are perfectly situated in between the vineyards and the lake, with a breathtaking view over the mountains. Lovely big, newly renovated room close to both the clean pool and the excellent restaurant. Lovely food and even more lovely wine! We will definitely visit Asara again!! Love from Alf & Else

Great stay and all the staff was incredibly nice! Food was incredible and anywhere you are in the hotel the views will be breathtaking. It is a great way to be a little outside of the city and relax. Could not recommend this hotel enough!

My husband and I had a stunning time at Asara. From the tranquil setting in the vineyards, the delicious food, fantastic wines to very friendly staff, everything was just perfect! The views are absolutely breathtaking. The pool is very well maintained and I had a very relaxing massage in the treatment room. It' the perfect spot, as it's just a quick drive to viby Stellenbosch town and other wine estates. Absolute value for money, we do highly recommend Asara and can't wait to be back.

The ASARA EXPERIENCE , view and the food was beyond the Stellenbosch Standards. It must definitely be rated as a six star establishment if considering the ambience of the new layout of the restaurant.

As soon as you arrive at the gate the staff already make you feel like a VIP guest. The wine tasting was definitely superb due to the award winning wines available. The food was to die for and was beautifully presented and tasted magnificent. The room had personal touches than made you feel properly spoiled. The view from our room was stunning with the sun rise and sun set beautiful displayed again the mountains. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend Asara to anyone looking for a a memorable experiences.

Great food and very attentive staff! A must for anyone that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a glass (rather bottle) of wine during golden hour while gazing at the rolling Stellenbosch mountains... Tranquil and serene... Asara is perfect for any occasion: A wine tasting, the courtyard under the trees, the stunning view from the Bistro over the lake... The list goes on! Just sums up one great day! Will certainly be back🥂
