Overall, the location was perfect for exploring the winelands, and I felt relaxed and well taken care of during my visit.

My stay at Clouds Estate was a mix of amazing views and a few service hiccups. The location was perfect, situated near top wine estates, offering stunning vistas from everywhere on the hotel. However, I found the attention to detail lacking at times, especially in service. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for a luxurious getaway, though perhaps not quite a 5-star experience.

Rooms

8.0

I stayed in a spacious villa that was clean and modern, featuring a comfortable layout with a large deck. However, the bed was a bit hard for my liking, and privacy could be better enforced with more landscaping between villas.

Service

7.0

The staff were friendly and well-meaning, though at times they seemed unsure and slow to respond. For instance, my wine tasting experience felt a bit scripted, rather than personal, which detracted from the otherwise enjoyable stay.

The estate's location is truly ideal, perched between premier wine estates with lovely views of the vineyards and mountains. It’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area, and relaxing with a glass of MCC was just perfect.

Breakfast was a highlight, offering a good mix of buffet options and hot dishes made to order, all enjoyed with very nice views. However, I found the lunch and dinner menu somewhat repetitive, making outside dining a necessity.

The facilities were good overall, including a lovely swimming pool area for relaxation. However, I wish there had been better service around the pool for used towels – it felt a bit unkempt at times.
