Backsberg Estate Cellars Tours

After a 1 week stay in Cape Town we were looking for a place to stay for two nights close to the airport. We required a stay with airport transportation, a pool or other leisure activities and dining as we would not have a car. The Zevenwacht more than delivered. Located in Stellenbosch region it would also be great starting point for day trips in the area. Our unit was on the hill overlooking the estate with a spectacular view, particularly in the evening when we would sit on our patio looking over the vineyards at the lights below and the mountains in the distance. They have a nice pool that we were able to lounge at while not walking around the estate. It is an operating winery so we enjoyed a complimentary wine tasting and tour. The restaurant serves breakfast (included) lunch and dinner and every one of the meals we had were excellent and very well priced. The patio of the restaurant looks over the gardens and pond - the perfect place to enjoy a charcuterie plate and glass of wine. The staff, both in the Inn and restaurant were attentive and anticipated our every need. There is also a spa on sight which we were not able to enjoy due to time constraints. Would highly recommend Zevenwacht Winery Estate for a short or extended stay.

I highly recommend it. The property is clean, safe and quiet. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The rooms are clean and adequately stocked. The breakfast is to die for! Very delicious, nutritious, and in large portions that last you all day.
