Best places to stay:
Set on one of the Western Cape’s most respected wine estates, the luxury suites at Jordan offer contemporary comfort and an authentic taste of winelands living.
The spacious rooms and suites offer panoramic vineyard views, complemented by all the modern conveniences you could ask for, from free Wi-Fi to percale linen.
Sip the complimentary bottle of estate wine on your private verandah while you contemplate your next culinary adventure: acclaimed chef George Jardine has a signature restaurant on-site, or take it easy over lunch at the laid-back bakery cafe.
Although just a short stroll from the cellar door and restaurants on the estate, the suites at Jordan are neatly hidden away in a peaceful indigenous garden. Private terraces offer wonderful vineyard and mountain views to ensure a bucolic vineyard escape.
However, if you want to head out exploring, the bustling streets of Stellenbosch – and the assorted wine cellars around town – are just 10 minutes’ drive. There’s no public transport nearby, so a hire car is recommended.
