Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Comfortable, large bedroom with fantastic amenities. The only disappointment we had was the restrictive catering options. Breakfast was acceptable but not varied. Dinner was served only at 7:30pm and there was a set three course menu each night with only one option. We felt there ought to be a choice of three per evening. The gardens, pools and rooms were stunning.

Intimate Resort Paradise

Before arrival, we had the ambitious goal of only being at the resort to sleep. Needless to say, that plan was immediately thrown out the window as soon as we arrived. First, to find the resort, you had to take a dirt road. Then, when you think you’ve reached Angala, you are told to drive further. Further? All the way towards the mountains. We both gave each other a look of confusion but drove on, passing by a vast field of hay (or what I think was hay). Once we arrived, we were immediately ensnared by the beauty of the resort, the food, as well as the impeccable service delivered by all the employees at Angala. We didn’t want to leave and even tried to extend an extra night but fortunately for Angala they were fully booked. Definitely a magical place I will always remember from our 3 weeks holiday in South Africa.

An absolute gem - don't hesitate to book!

Can't rate this gem highly enough. Don't be put off by the out of town location and guesthouse name in the title - this place is luxe magic. The staff are very happy by their own admission, and it shines through in the service. The hotel and grounds are immaculate, and yet very natural and peaceful. The room was probably in the top 3 we've had the pleasure to stay in - an incredibly large (Super King?) bed, balcony, large lounge area, log burning fire, private garden, bath, two indoor and one outdoor shower. It was very spacious, and included treats that a bigger luxe hotel would never think to - namely complimentary mini bar with wonderful wines and a full and free Nespresso selection. I'm just sad we didn't book for longer, and we'll certainly be back.
I spent a lot of time umming and ahhing about whether to book Angala, or choose a 'better known name' in town. A guest review encouraged me to opt for this place, and so I am encouraging you to do that same. I strongly recommend you don't hesitate and book a stay at Angala, I'm certain that you won't be in the slightest disappointed.

Fabulous for Honeymoon or Quiet Getaway

This boutique hotel in the wine country has all the essentials for a relaxing adult getaway. First class food served on the terrace by the pool, beautiful grounds, and great service. We stayed in the river cottage, which is totally private and, except for the neighboring peacock, very quiet. One of the nicest hotels we have ever experienced. They do weddings, so I recommend checking for this to avoid a wedding crowd.

A blissful eacape

This hotel had strong positive reviews and when we arrived, it was evident that the hotel is well off the beaten track. We had a two night stay and it was so relaxing that we could have stayed much longer. The setting is idyllic, about 2 miles off the main road with a mountain background. Quite simply there's nothing about this hotel that disappoints. Rooms are good, food is excellent and the staff are great. If we get back to SA, Angala will be in our schedule.

Wow!

Angala is simply breathtaking. A blend of stunning views, tranquility,understated luxury and good taste. The staff are superb and there are a number of lovely touches but wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. Although nothing was said, I assume our room was an upgrade effectively being a one bedroom villa with its own plunge pool, garden and stupendous views. Seems almost vulgar to talk about money but put simply, this was the best combination of quality and value we have ever experienced on out global travels. Just go.

Favorite Inland Spot in South Africa

Angala soundly tops our list of vacation spots, the cottage being the highlight of our last 3 week journey across the country. Sipping on fine wines, floating in the cottage's outdoor bathtub or private pool, surrounded by peacocks and the dramatic views, it's hard to believe one could be so lucky.
As it was a last-minute stop for us, we hadn't secured reservations at any of the better area restaurants, and thank goodness we didn't, as we'd have missed the hotel dinner, which was easily one of the best we had.

Beautiful secluded oasis

Stayed 2 nights at the end of a 2 week trip around South Africa. What a perfect way to end the trip - such a beautiful hotel with gorgeous views and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere! We loved the room, which was impeccably clean and very spacious, as well as the grounds. Paid for dinner at the hotel the night of our arrival and the food was superb. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a place you can truly unwind and enjoy the beautiful winelands.

Fabulous little gem tucked away above one of the vineyards on the outskirts of Franschoek. The rooms are well equiped and a good size. Well stocked fridge (complementary drinks!), nespresso coffee machine and the usual tea etc. Lovely big bathroom and an outside shower as well as an inside one! The breakfast was always freshly cooked and very good quality. Ate at the hotel in the evening 3 times and the food was perfect. Excellent choice of wines, beer and spirits. Aubrey and Troy are excellent hosts and a mine of useful information.l

A gourmet delight

We stayed only one night as had a wedding nearby the next night. When we arrived we were offered dinner and not expecting much, accepted. Max the chef was a genius, a light cheese tart followed by a duck breast to die for, lastly the creme brûlée was perfect. We crawled off to bed followed by one very feisty cat. Breakfast was late and spectacular, views over the mountains with clouds floating by. The buffet was terrific and the omelette was light and delicious. Aubrey, our host for the previous evening was the consummate host. A very memorable stay.

One of the best hotel experiences we've ever had!

From the moment we arrived we knew we'd found a little piece of heaven. The welcome could not have been more friendly and accommodating, the design and quality and maintenance of the buildings is immaculate. It sits in a tranquil area where the only sounds are the wind and wildlife. But the single thing that stands out the most and made our stay so special and memorable was the kindness, attentiveness, friendliness and superb service from all the staff. Even the gardeners waved a friendly \"good morning\" each day! Special mention needs to go to Cerene and Nicky who was absolutely superb, but the shining star was Troye. He did not miss a trick and his general knowledge and wonderfully warm personality were the best we've experienced. He's definitely found his calling in hospitality.
Angala was everything we were looking for and more and we will most definitely be back.
Thanks to everyone for giving us such a wonderful and memorable stay.

The hotel is too far from anything to eat or shop and also is very hard and expensive to get transportation to go anywhere. You cannot repeat the breakfast and everything is charged apart, even the water. The reception does not work 24h and you are completely distant of anything if you need.
