MolenVliet Vineyards

Magnificent estate with great accommodation. Spacious clean rooms with wonderful views, big bathrooms.Wry nice and rich breakfast.The estate is well positioned between Stellenbosch and Franshhoek. Recommended

MolenVliet is the most beautiful wine estate! The staff are very friendly and are happy to help. Choosing this venue for any special occasion will be a winner! Lots to do in the immediate area and surrounds.

Great location for weddings and other events - magnificent event venue! The (hotel) rooms are very nice and spacious. Great design.Hotel (concierge) Service is super helpful with reservations etc.Hotel „pool“ is basically not existent. It’s a very small pond and doesn’t invite to plunge.Wine tastings are not recommended. Staff seemed a bit lost at serving and explaining the wines. Same with serving snacks or food for lunch or afternoon cravings.

The greediness of this wedding venue will astound you.Avoid as a wedding venue.Sure, It is a beautiful venue, but would be better rather charge more for the venue than having sneaky costs, my husband is Swedish he said it. Nothing about this experience felt good.Rehearsal dinner only venue hire( not chef or kitchen or waiters or clean up) 10k we only got a green light to allow us to have this two weeks before the wedding…. Unnecessary stress.where do they expect almost 70 people all staying there to eat?To steam my moms pantsuit R1000 my dress another R1000, after some words a 1000 was deducted…. Why is it added to start with?Starting prep on Saturday early extra cost, even tough it is just my people at ENTIRE VENUE!Each supplier has to be approved( kick backs to molenvliet) supplier charges more to go to Molenvliet than another venues, we compared with a friend using same supplier.We rented ALL accommodation as well as the hall for the weekend wedding you would think our bottle of bubbles was free, nope a quick count revealed it wasn’t.Security wouldn’t let all the guests in. As Ashleen that was helping us didn’t put everyone’s names on the list, since rooms were shared they only had one persons name on the room not both at the gate. Chaos, people took hour and half to check in!!!!Wrong rooms to guests, our best man got a tiny room and friend we are not that close with got a room with a private pool! Can’t kick them out! Massive mix up. The room plan sent doesn’t speak to the layout, the numbers doesn’t match. I painstakingly filled all the names and who is sharing. Twin beds optional rooms we not twin beds as well. Nothing I wanted to deal with since having done all the planning meticulously. NOT 5 star service!Moms room in the Manor House cost 10k for the night. The linen smelled like mould. Honestly I was embarrassed.While I was getting ready, a guy blowing leaves right outside the Manor House window won’t go away. He blew dust into the room continuously and the leave blower noise not what I had in mind for the morning. They had to redo my make up! We asked him to leave twice. He won’t. Reception took over an hour to ask him to go.The 10k for rental of rehearsal ( Friday dinner ) hall since we had 5 guests attend that didn’t stay at the venue, only reason they didn’t stay at the venue it was full of our guests already! I had to put them next door at a guest house. R10k, if the 5 didn’t join, it would be free… seriously baffling. This cost really grinds my nerves.How much can a gin and tonic be? You would be surprised. R350 a drink!!!!!! Brought gin from husbands home country, Sweden. Corkage on top of paying a massive mark up to be able to bring in fevertree tonic was almost 2k per bottle: crazy expensive. The bar man was terribly slow. They ran out of the premium brands of liquor….! Paying over a million for a wedding and people can’t order a proper drink…. No way!The saddest thing about all this was that my father in law broke his wrist and hand before dinner and speeches. This was due to no safety tape or sign of the step in the main hall.In dim lighting you can’t it is a step down. I also tripped there but luckily my gate was different.My father in law flew from Sweden for his sons wedding and wrote a beautiful speech. He had to go to ER and had emergency surgery so he missed the wedding because of a stupid not clearly marked step! We can never get that back!Never.And no one bothered to contact us about this afterwards.I have never been more disappointed in my life. The entire experience dealing with our coordinator, the hammering out of extra money for every single thing we wanted that is not standard. Exhausting and to be fair can be avoided by charging more initially.A bitter taste, due to the time consuming and painstakingly slow process of the whole thing and the terrible execution of actual services didn’t make things better.It took me some years to be able to write this.Greediness and shocking service! Don’t go here.Married 14 March 2020.

One of the best places my husband and I have ever visited! It’s absolutely beautiful - the landscape and rooms. It’s a must visit if you‘re staying in Stellenbosch. I will definitely visit again in the future! Only minor problem was we had a lot of beetles in our room after the house cleaners left our door open by accident. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay :)

Exceptional in every way!We had a mountain view suite - a beautifully decorated and comfortable room, with a big bathroom, and a balcony with our own personal hot tub.The estate is large, so there is no room service available, but we did not mind, as the rooms are stocked with enough to keep you comfortable. The full-sized bottles of wine and bubbly (from the Molenvliet vineyard) in the rooms, are a great touch.Breakfast is served in the beautiful main house. It was superb in every way; variety, quality, taste, and presentation.The hotel staff are lovely!

A beautiful venue, had a stunning wedding here with the best backdrop of the mountains.

This place not only met but also exceeded my expectations. Rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated with beautiful artwork and furniture. Everything looks and feels luxurious, from the door to the floors, ceiling, bathroom, large mirror, comfortable bed, I loved everything! The staff was so friendly and helpful, they made us feel welcome. The views of the mountain and vineyard were majestic. The experience made my birthday a memorable one. I have only one request, please can you put a small side table between the 2 chairs in the rooms so that drinking that much-needed glass of champagne is more convenient. That's it.Ten-ten-ten all around!

We came and stayed for my wife’s birthday weekend and MolenVliet exceeded our expectations. The room was classy and better than the photos, the staff was over the top nice and accommodating, and the views from our villa were heavenly to say the least. We are already discussing a second trip and plan to stay again at MolenVliet.

If you're looking to have your wedding at a place with wow factor, stunning views and 5 star treatment then this is the place. We recently stayed here for a friend's wedding. We were not disappointed. The rooms are amazing and the views are stunning. They have golf carts to help people get around the property if you're not able to walk. Otherwise you can enjoy strolling through the vines and seeing what grapes they are growing for the different wines they make. Breakfast was delicious!
