Erinvale Accommodation

Erinvale Hotel & Spa offers superior accommodation around an original Cape Dutch homestead in the beautiful Helderberg Valley of the Winelands, close to Somerset West. This 57 room hotel has recently been renovated and offers an ideal base for exploring the many wine estates and the lovely walking country around. It also boasts an excellent golf course and Spa. The False Bay beaches are just 15 minutes away whilst Hermanus, famous for its whale watching, is only one hour's drive. Four superb wine estates are within walking distance of Erinvale Hotel including the historic Vergelegen Manor House and Winery right next door. Erinvale's restaurant is in the carefully restored original manor house and exudes understated elegance and style.

The bedrooms are set around the original stable block and upstairs bedrooms have high thatched roofs. Each of the bedrooms is decorated in a classical style with a personal safe, hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities, bar fridge, television and telephone. They have been renovated by introducing a more contemporary colour scheme whilst retaining their original elegance. All around are tranquil gardens of roses and herbaceous borders.

Golf at Erinvale Hotel & Spa

Erinvale is probably best known for its world-class 18 hole golf course. This American-style golf course is in a delightful country setting and is one of the top golf courses in South Africa. It was chosen as the venue for the World Championships, due to its superb design and challenging course with strategic water hazards on six holes. Though it is a private club, Erinvale Hotel guests can play as members at reduced rates.

Spa at Erinvale

The Spa at Erinvale Hotel is set amongst established trees and overlooks the swimming pool. It has a number of treatment rooms, steam room, indoor heated whirlpool, sundeck and a relaxation room whilst outside you can relax around the swimming pool after your spa session. Tennis, squash, bowls, croquet and horse-riding are available nearby, as well as the Helderberg Nature Reserve, which offers splendid hiking trails and magnificent views.

Each loft room – with its sealed-off, thatched high ceiling that’s accentuated with skylights – narrates the hotel’s history and heritage. Staying here offers guests the opportunity to stay in a historic building that’s been tastefully restored with an interplay of old and new elements to offer the modern comforts of a luxurious 21st century establishment.

The spacious 25-sqm interior consists of a light-filled lounge that leads to a bedroom, decorated with eclectic South African artworks (you may even notice some pieces by renowned artist Kyle Rinquest), with an en-suite, shower-only bathroom. This is the ideal home base to explore Somerset West and the Heart of the Helderberg.

Premium Rooms

A relaxing space decorated in nudes and neutrals with splashes of colour, these rooms also each have a patio with a garden view. King-size bed, en-suite bathroom, ground floor. Each bedecked with a patio that either faces the luscious gardens or carefully-tended courtyard, the 19 ground-floor Premium Rooms are perfect to enjoy a morning cuppa, read a page-turner, or to indulge in a sundowner in the fresh air.

These rooms, ranging between 30–35 sqm, are a short walk along a pathway to the historic Cape Dutch Manor House, where the three restaurants – Stefan's, the Magnolia Social Dining Lounge, and Oak Terrace and Bistro – await with cocktails and fine-dining options alike.

The four interleading rooms are ideal for families travelling with children looking to explore the sub-route of the Stellenbosch winelands without compromising on world-class style and comfort, combined with unbeatable South African hospitality.

Luxury Rooms

These rooms deliver comfort and space, with a lounge seating area and sweeping views of the Helderberg Mountains. King-bed, en-suite bathroom, lounge area, ground or first-floor options. There are three kinds of Luxury Rooms to choose from – the ground floor room with an adjoining terrace; and a first-floor room that looks out onto either the central courtyard or the manicured garden and spa pool, both of which are coupled with panoramic views of the Helderberg Mountains in the background to remind you why you’re here in the first place.

The 35-sqm sumptuous Luxury Rooms showcase a lounge seating area where you can put up your feet in front of the Smart TV (kitted out with streaming services and a full programme bouquet), even though we know you’re probably going to want to explore the surrounding vineyards, unwind at our award-winning spa, or try your hand at the 18-hole, Gary Player-designed golf course instead. Once the day is done, the king-size bed with its 600 thread-count Sanders-Kauffmann linen waits on the other end of a relaxing bubble bath.

Here, the mountain, vineyards and ocean are on your doorstep and can be explored, according to your travel style, with the help of our friendly and knowledgeable staff. Be sure to indulge in a treatment at the Lurra Spa with its indoor relaxation area and heated pool. And end off your day with a seven- or 10-course dinner and wine pairing from Executive Chef Stefan Bekker and his team.

Erinvale Suite

The hotel's premier offering is spacious and luxurious with separate main bedroom, living room, dining room table and fire place. King-bed, en-suite bathroom, ground floor, garden view. The aptly named Erinvale Suite – which is the hotel’s flagship offering – is the unsurpassable choice whether you’re exploring the region during an overnight stay, on a golfing getaway, business trip, or travelling for a long weekend away with your significant other or for a special celebration.

After admiring the picturesque landscapes that necklace the hotel from your private terrace, the centerpiece of the dining room and lounge in this 80-sqm suite is certainly the fireplace. It makes for a cosy, romance-filled evening spent indoors with a bottle of the region’s best, especially since our winemaker has keys to neighbouring Lourensford’s wine cellar. The king bed is draped with goose down duvets and everything you’d need for a comfortable night’s rest, so that you’re ready for the day ahead, no matter what kind of excitement it may bring.
