I found myself in Cape Town for an extra two days because of a cancelled flight home. A friend in Kalk Bay recommended a visit to Jordan for the food and the view. With nothing else to do, I decided to book a night at the estate. As it turned out, my stay at Jordan was the highlight of my trip to South Africa. I arrived early, at noon, before check-in, but staff had a table set for me on their patio so that I could enjoy lunch while my room was being prepared. The view from the patio was spectacular, the food and wine were great. I walked the vineyards, which had beautiful views in all directions. I had a nearly two hour personal tour of the estate and wine making operation with incredibly knowledgeable staff, during which I learned so much. If you like good food, good wine, beautiful scenery, attentive staff, and a peaceful, relaxing setting, do yourself a favor and book a room at Jordan.

If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate and just book! Our room, although only the classic, was absolutely stunning. Beautiful finishing touches including petals on the bed for our honeymoon. We had the dinner basket which we’d recommend if their restaurant isn’t open in the evening. Breakfast out on the deck overlooking the lake was an awesome start to the day. Staff are also very attentive and knowledgeable. The360 vineyard tour is a must.

Visited Jordan for a two nights stay in their lodges. Beautifully appointed with luxurious facilities. We stayed in Lodge 9, which is furthest away from the winery up an unmade dirt track. With hindsight we should have asked for a lodge nearer as we have some mobility issues. It was only a minor inconvenience and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with attentive staff, excellent breakfasts and wine tasting. We have also made a separate review of the Jordan Restaurant which was less successful.

A great surprise. There are so many great restaurants in this area and for some reason, I underestimated Jordan. It was epic. Great setting and really well run by the Head Chef. Food was outstanding and service friendly. Wine pairing (which I don’t normally do) was very good. All in all, well worth a visit! Ps - chef trained at the Fat Duck and this is better. Really.

We stayed at Jordan during our honeymoon trip to South Africa and had such a wonderful time. The hotel accommodations are superb with amazing attention to detail - the robes and toiletries are all locally sourced and great quality and smell! The rooms are quaint and have fire places in them. We stayed in a regular room one night and got upgraded to a suite the second night, both were great but of course the suite was extra nice. The service is impeccable and Matthew was such a delight. He made sure we had the best time and helped us plan our wine tastings, recommended the best dinner of our trip at De Vlaspleis in town, and even drove us there himself at 8pm bc we couldn’t get another ride. The breakfast that is included is delicious and the setting next to the lake under the willow trees is even better. We had a wonderful tasting of their exceptional wines that was also included with our stay; but would highly recommend it as a vineyard you must visit even if you are not staying there. We were not able to dine at their famous restaurant because they are only open Thurs-Sun and we were there Tues/Wed, but they have these really fun gourmet dinner baskets that you can order a bit in advance and we ate them at our room on the beautiful patio. Very reasonable and tasty and a fun experience. They also put in a new pool recently that was lovely, although we never really had time to enjoy it unfortunately. Highly recommend this vineyard, restaurant and hotel! Top notch service and quality and you can’t beat the views!!

My wife and I had lunch here back in September, and we still think about it all these months later. An absolutely incredible meal - some of the best food we’ve had in our lives, with wine that was just as fantastic! There are so many good options in the Stellenbosch/Franschoek area, but make sure to make Jordan a stop on your journey. Special shout out to Maxine and the entire staff for explaining each course and why each wine was paired with each dish. Thank you again for a meal we won’t ever forget!! -Anthony and Mary

We stayed here as part of an itinerary based holiday package. Spectacular scenery. Fantastic food and wine. Although we didn’t realise that we had a certain amount of hospitality credit. This wasn’t initially mentioned on arrival. So paid for some food and wine we needn’t have paid for. Even so We enjoyed the stay ! Very peaceful.

With award winning Chardonnay wines, this vineyard is a must visit. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. This was an overall pleasant experience. The road to the vineyard needs upgrading, but the views from the deck, overlooking the Stellenbosch valley and Helderberg mountains more than make up for it.

Very nice estate close by stellenbosch (15 min by car) Good for wine tasting. The rooms are OK but not as luxurious as the claim on the website but they are very good on price quality ratio. The nature around is very good. They have a private driver to bring you to Stellenbosch in case you do not have a car and you do not trust Uber in that area. A bit expensive driver (3 x price of Uber) but at least you have a lokal guy driving you through the area.

Not our first visit here. We travel often locally and international. This place we just find special for many reasons. From arrival until we left the estate it was just a treat. The personnel, rooms, all in the room and views just invite one to return. The food and wines are worth a very positive mention. The estate made space available for meetings we decided to conduct at the estate. The friendly service is top class. I will be returning and will suggest that you treat yourself and possible partner with a visit there whether business or pleasure. Views are to die for. Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 4/5 Rooms Cosy (winter) cool in the summer, all towels, bedding and fitting well lay out and luxury, wonderful views. Just a treat and visit again feel Noteworthy details Luxury, neat, clean, well equip, very peaceful etc etc Hotel highlights Luxury, Great view, Romantic, Quiet
