This is luxury personified. Stunning views, wonderful rooms with the option to stay in bespoke accommodation. Such as a private pool or hot tub options. There is simply no better view on the Helshgoote Pass. Staff were extremely helpful with nice touches to enhance guests stay throughout. This is a high end luxury hotel with a relaxed atmosphere we will definitely be returning.

We had a really lovely stay here for part of our honeymoon! The views are breathtaking, and the room was clean, large, and modern, and it was easy to get to both Stellenbosch and Franschoek as needed. The team was really helpful, even providing breakfast packs for our extremely early departure, which was very appreciated.

Great to place to explore the wine country
Wonderful hotel nestled between the mountains and hills around Stellenbosch. Great views from the room, restaurant and pool area. Very friendly staff and excellent food quality in the restaurant (both breakfast and dinner). Improvement point: staff could be more proactive when it comes to restaurants and wineries in the region.

We had the most glorious stay in Clouds. The room and view were magnificent and the staff kind and attentive. This was off season so it was quiet, which was charming in itself. This was our last night in South Africa after an amazing vacation in Sabi Sands and the Western Cape. Clouds was a lovely place to finish our 30th anniversary trip and they were generous with bespoke attention. I would absolutely recommend here and would love to see it in the summer months too. Dinner and breakfast were very good. This is a beautiful area of the country.

Arlene

Very disappointed. Rooms not as in the picture. This is not high end. We booked the new suite which had pictures of vineyard views and we got dark room facing trees. The room was not great - hair on floor, dirty work tops, broken security gate, blocked shower, dark bed sheets (hate that as you can’t be sure clean and not typical in 5 star). The room is new and furnished to a good standard but the wider hotel is really more 3 star and very basic. Staff lovely and super helpful, but the manager had a real attitude, doesn’t want to hear anything negative, didn’t come back as she said she would on our issues and only interested in her margin. We booked for 4 days and left after 2. Very disappointing and wouldn’t recommend if you are looking for a 5 start experience. There are far better hotels for the same money in the area.

We loved our stay at Clouds. Our only regret was not staying longer. Adrien greeted us and looked after us incredibly well throughout our stay, and really went above and beyond. The food was fantastic and the grounds were immaculate. Overall, can’t recommend highly enough to anyone staying in the area.

Nice hotel, shame about the food poisoning
The hotel itself is beautiful. The views are stunning and the rooms are well made up for a short or long stay. However i have been suffering with food poisoning since we left so i have removed some stars. The restaurant was much quieter than expected and food for the first time in SA did not taste so great. The next 24 hours were very painful.

We stayed here the last night of our honeymoon and they made us feel like royals! Rose petals on the bed, complimentary bottles of wine, cake on the house and HEATED BATHROOM FLOORS. Breakfast was included with sprawling options and variety. Highly recommend!
