The Village at Spier

The Village at Spier Hotel is set along the banks of the Eerste River, on the Spier Wine Estate just outside Stellenbosch. It is an ideal location to explore the Winelands or play golf on one of the local courses such as De Zalze or Pearl Valley. The hotel is a popular choice for families with children as there is plenty to keep them occupied. It also works well for groups on a golfing holiday in South Africa. The accommodation offers good value and there are a number of dining options on the estate meaning that you can relax in the evening without needing to drive.

The Spier Estate offers many entertainment and leisure options for both the relaxed and the more energetic. There are a number of different restaurants, cocktails at Toto’s, tennis, swimming, encounters with raptors, horse rides through vineyards, wine tasting, quiet walks through the estate gardens, picnics from the Spier Deli, the hotel spa and of course, golf.
