Tucked into the heart of the Stellenbosch winelands, on one of South Africa’s oldest wine farms, Spier Hotel offers a restful retreat rooted in connection: to the land, to good food and wine, and to art and heritage. Designed to reflect the beauty of a historic Cape farmstead, the hotel is arranged in a village-style layout. Think whitewashed walls and spacious rooms that open onto rambling gardens, quiet courtyards and river views. From herbal treatments in the whimsical, apothecary-style spa to eco-conscious design rooted in Spier’s values, thoughtful touches emerge at every turn — all part of its unmistakable charm.
From couples and families to groups of friends travelling together, Spier caters to every kind of guest. Wake to birdsong and a farm-fresh breakfast. Linger over seasonal dishes made with ingredients grown on the farm. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the grounds. Wander through a world-class collection of Southern African art. Or explore the award-winning wine range in the wine library or at the Tasting Room. Complimentary access to the Buzz Club, a nature-inspired kids’ club designed for children aged 3 to 12, also makes Spier a firm family favourite.
Sustainability is woven into daily life at Spier. From supporting regenerative farming and community-run projects to showcasing local artists, every stay contributes to something greater. Ingredients are grown with care, waste is thoughtfully repurposed, and solar energy helps keep things running cleanly. The art you see, the food you eat, the people you meet — all reflect a deep commitment to place and purpose.
