Liked: Our stay at Bernardus was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and beautifully curated. The grounds are breathtaking, the service is impeccable, and every detail is designed to create a sense of calm and luxury.What stood out most was how effortlessly everything came together—from the warm welcome to the stunning setting, it felt like stepping into a world apart. Every corner of the property is a reminder that this place was created as a true retreat. It’s rare to find a destination that feels so thoughtfully run yet completely relaxed.Whether you’re lounging by the pool, strolling through the vineyards, or simply enjoying the view from your room, Bernardus offers the perfect blend of sophistication and serenity. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning our return.

Poor

Liked: Aesthetic
Disliked: Staff communication, privacy (they looked inside a bag of items I had delivered). They charged e a month later with incidentals for parking, which they never confirmed nor communicated was going to be a charge. I also have an erroneous charge one month after my stay for the spa, which I never used. I called them o discuss these issues.

This was one of the...

Liked: Room size was more than ample and was tastefully decorated and furnished. Hotels grounds were beautiful! Croquet lawn was a beautiful centrepiece and focal point for some well-mannered competition between guests. The 24 hour jacuzzi with a mountain view was an unexpected wonder!
Disliked: The fitness centre could be better, it felt quite cramped and the cardio machines were quite old. Without a car it was also difficult to leave the premises, a walking trail (or complementary drive to one) would allow the guests to make the most of the beautiful surroundings.
