Time-honoured traditions. A vine-kissed breeze. Unsurpassed luxury. A lofty garden. Breathtaking views. A delicate softness. Enveloping history. A gentle stroll. Unrivalled legacy. Musk-scented cellars. Memorable wines with a lingering finish. Chef-curated menus. Award-winning spa treatments. These are just some of the reasons why Lanzerac surpasses a five-star rating.
As one of only 24 establishments in South Africa to be awarded the 5-star Premium rating by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa, Lanzerac epitomises and exceeds quality and luxury service standards. All within an ambience of easy-going welcome.
So, when a 5-star Premium establishment like Lanzerac offers you an out-of-season free night, you grab it with both grateful hands. Because, contrary to popular belief, winter really is a magical season for exploring the Winelands.
This is when the vines and the wooded areas surrounding them reveal their sculptural magnificence. This is when the wine routes are quiet, the cellars unassuming, and the wine masters are relaxed enough to share their secrets and stories.
This is when the enormous old fireplaces in the Governor’s Hall and the Manor Library (and virtually every other elegant public area in the Lanzerac Hotel) crackle and blaze with cosy warmth, inviting much gazing and dreaming, soft conversation, wine sipping and deeply relaxing brandy and whisky swilling.
This is when the smell of leather couches, oak-panelling and antique furnishings mingle with the evocative fragrance of wood smoke and wine barrels and this heady aroma accompanies you to the Manor Kitchen or Taphuis for an unforgettable dinner. And afterwards, a dash through a chilled, misty night is rewarded by sinking into a soft, luxurious bed.
This is when a long lie-in and breakfast in bed are called for, with hot chocolate and no real reason to rush. This is when the award-winning spa at Lanzerac beckons you to relax tense muscles and revive winter-tired skin.
And with one extra night at your disposal, you really can do it all. This offer starts 1 June and runs until 31 July. They call it PayStay, an incredibly generous opportunity to Lanzerac a little longer. Book three nights and only pay for two in any Lanzerac room, starting from R6985 per night.
You simply can’t go wrong. Lanzerac is the ultimate getaway to relax your senses and allow the harmony and tranquility of the majestic Jonkershoek Valley to work its magic.
