더 스피어 호텔

I had a fantastic time at Spear Hotel! The staff were very polite, the place was spotless, and the atmosphere was so comfortable. There were also plenty of fun activities—like Segway tours and a lovely gallery—making it a perfect getaway. I highly recommend it!

Perfect stay. Loved the Segway tour.

Spier hotel is a decent property to stay in but if you are interested in being an area that has the Wine Tram, I'd select Boschendal (where we had lunch and the food was wonderful). Otherwise, you need to drive at least 40 minutes to get to the Wine Tram. The staff at Spier seemed very pleasant but also very very new (maybe a lot of turnover?). For instance, they directed us to go to the animal sanctuary about 1km from the front desk (on their property) and when we arrived, they announced there was an additional charge which made no sense at all to me. The food at the restaurant was average at best which was disappointing given the reputation of this hotel (although the wine was great)! Overall, they need to do better!

Loved our stay. High quality found in everything. Only downside is the size of the grounds and having to walk where wanted to be, unless you were willing to wait for a golf cart to be called from reception. Not that easily accessible for people with walking difficulty. Thank goodness we got a room close to the dining hall and not too far from car park. At first we had a second floor room with a flight of stairs some distance away. Otherwise, we will def be back.

You need a car (or über) to get into town. Hotel was ok, but rooms and apartments were a bit outdated (though clean). A bit noisy at night with people coming and going. Otherwise very nice property with running opportunities (5 or 10 km), nice bread from own bakery, nice breakfast and a refreshing pool-area.
