Meerendal Boutique Hotel

What a beauty of a place - the design and quality of the room matched the tranquil outside setting! A lovely, nestled space to unwind and recharge. The rolling lawns and a walk about the vineyard was so refreshing and a great reminder of the many beautiful gems that our country has to offer... It was a short business trip with no chance to explore the restuarant

Beautiful place with a choice of two onsite restaurants. New and upmarket finishes in the rooms throughout. All facilities in the room where well maintained and in good condition with battery backup globes in the bed lamps.

The property is quite isolated and blissfully quiet in the evening and early morning hours. During the day, throngs of visitors do come through to visit, however. There isn’t very much to do on the property itself (unfortunately neither pool nor tennis courts…although I’m told tennis courts are coming), but the restaurants on-site are good and, of course, there is wine…

Meerendal is a beautiful and homely accommodation that is best for all kinds of travel, Family, Business and Leasure. So homely and comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing with excellent service.

Business trip - made a reservation at the restaurant - confirmed that it will be open until 10pm. Arrived late (due to a delayed flight) and were told that the restaurant closed at 8pm. Clear miscommunication between Hotel and independently run restaurant. No uber service available in the area. Would have appreciated a message letting us know to rather have lunch at the airport before arriving at a closed restaurant.

I know the term Boutique Hotel is often over used …and once again this is a case of such! A) it is not a Hotel, it is a non serviced guesthouse B) has very few services if any C) don’t expect food and especially after 6pm D) Emory mini bar… no snacks With regards breakfast, you share the same service as the public with which ever venue is open at the estate at the time. This is my third night here and if I had not asked I wouldnt have known that they closed the previous farmstall venue and I now need to eat at Carluccis. I was told this morning that I am unable to spend more than £5 on breakfast as part of the ‘4* Star Hotel package’ thus if you wish coffee, smoothie or orange juice all extra cost!!?….hmmm not great. Previous breakfast I could only have orange concentrat (not fresh) or coffee… not both (Farmstall venue) and ski if I wanted a cappuccino then there would be an extra cost!!! Again great location and very clean. In terms of value for money…GBP£ 110/ night for room (ZAR 2,300/night) I am sure I can get better value and some service elsewhere. I am guessing it caters more for the local market…if I was earning ZAR and paying that amount per night …not sure I would be that happy Please don’t expect to eat or have someone on estate assist after 7:30pm . I arrived in Cape Town in the evening 8pm , whilst in Joburg I attempted to call a few times over 2 days to confirm my booking (which I booked through Hotel.com ). After 6 calls it was answered, but No one could tell be if I had a reservation . I also wanted to notify them that I would be later and would it be possible to I have some food or a sandwich on arrival! Again no one answered earlier that day too on the designated telephone number. It is a nice clean guesthouse in a great setting but don’t expect any service…and at times WiFi Overpriced for what you get, and l no service or curl et service . Perhaps the owner should spend more time at the location rather than managing remotely from Malta! Overall Average at best (based on cleanliness and location ) but could be something much better… a real shame. My next business trip will be at another ’ Boutique’ venue perhaps in Hout Bay, Camps bay or Blouberg

Very good setting and convenient. Rather pricy compared to other , albeit limited options available. I was however disappointed with 3 meals I had there 🙁. Burger was dry, lamb flatbread EAS super fatty and an ingredient was missing … and really bad cold coffee at breakfast

Very good. Friendly staff and quiet location.

Really impressed with this hotel. The wine estate is beautiful with fantastic views all around, the rooms are big and comfy and include lots of nice touches such as a Nespresso machine with pods. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom stunning and we had a pleasant and peaceful sleep. There are two restaurants on-site, we had breakfast at Bossa where the staff were happy to accommodate our vegan diet and made us a custom fry-up, which we really appreciated. All the staff at Meerendal are super friendly and helpful. Lots of stuff to do at the wine estate also, such as wine tasting, walking and bike riding around the vineyards. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway in a scenic location.
