we just came back from South Africa and stayed at Akademie for our final two nights. It was a great, relaxing way to end our trip. The rooms were cozy and the staff was very friendly. Akademie is perfectly located, a short walk to some of the best restaurants in the winelands. If you are looking for a great place... More

Came here on the first leg of our honeymoon, and it was really great. The breakfasts were top notch, the rooms were very up-to-date, clean, and tastefully decorated, and the staff was really nice and helpful. They also have a small parking area, and are a short 2-3 block walk from most of the restaurants in town. We stayed in... More

In traveling to Capetown, it took us almost 48 hours and we wanted a place to relax and unwind to get us ready for our South African adventure. If you want such a place, look no further. Very nice, clean, modern, and well appointed rooms, atrium like bathroom/shower with glass ceilings open to the stars, interior courtyards with soothing fountains... More

We spent the first three nights of our honeymoon here, and could have stayed forever. We were in the big house (the one in the main photo you see, with the private pool) and everything about it was just perfect. The decor was gorgeous - super stylish but still very, very comfortable. Every room had wonderful art on the walls,... More

The sense of art appreciation and love of books was felt in this warmhearted place. It is really rich in atmosphere, luxury, peace and privacy and a perfect setting for the wine lands. Everything was perfect, breakfast... More
