Oakvale Estate — Hotel in Stellenbosch Local Municipality

Words can hardly do justice to the magic of Oakvale Estate. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in a level of care and hospitality that feels both effortless and extraordinary. This is more than a getaway - it's a playground for both adults and families, offering the perfect escape from the chaos of Cape Town.

The possibilities here are endless. Whether you're watching a film under the stars in the outdoor cinema, playing padel on world-class courts, riding horses through the most insane landscapes, or exploring the surrounding mountains with a private guide. Every moment feels curated with thought and passion.

And the food? WOWOWOW. No two meals are the same - not just in flavor, but also in setting. Dining here is a journey of creativity. One evening, the chef prepared a risotto that changed my life , with flavor pairings I’d never imagined - it was, without question, the most memorable meal of my life.

Oakvale is a rare gem. If you ever get the opportunity to visit, don’t think twice. It’s an experience you’ll carry with you long...

The different environments around the estate offer the perfect backdrop to create lifelong memories, from the magical BBQ evenings by the bonfire next to the river, to the padel court, and the pool that looks like a natural pond (truly stunning!).

With the majestic mountains as a backdrop and with that unique magical light only the South African winelands can offer, Oakvale feels like a hidden paradise.

Their olive oil is simply the best we’ve ever had (and we’ve tried many!). The rose wine is also highly recommended. 🙏🏼

Also, a special thank you to the wonderful staff who went above and beyond to make our stay...
