The substance of dreams

At Clouds Estate, an operational vineyard situated on the picturesque Helshoogte pass in the Stellenbosch and Winelands region of South Africa’s Western Cape, one is excused for being lost in reverie.

Cape Town and Franschhoek are less than an hour’s drive away, and the surrounding area is replete with vineyards, markets, and picturesque landscapes, offering several opportunities for exploration, activities, and culinary experiences.  Epicureans will like the numerous great dining options.  The region’s splendor can be appreciated by helicopter tours over the Winelands, cycling excursions in Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, or a picturesque drive.  Guests have access to the Delaire Graff spa, and many golf courses are in proximity.

All accommodations include floor-to-ceiling windows to capture the spectacular vistas.  The seven hotel rooms are opulently appointed, with a complementary mini-bar stocked with Clouds’ wines and additional items, and include breakfast.  Five Deluxe Villas, nestled inside the grounds and encircled by vineyards, provide exquisite views from the balcony.  A hospitable pool and deck encourage relaxation between excursions, while the on-site restaurant presents a curated yet delectable menu of seasonal, refined comfort food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
