Acara

 
 

Description

Situated in the heart of the Winelands near Stellenbosch, Acara is nestled in a valley called "Happy Vale" amidst scenic vineyards with beautiful views of the Helderberg Mountains. Dave and Fiona offer exceptional hospitality and can offer suggestions on day trips, restaurants and things to do in the region.

The three cottages are all beautifully appointed, each with double doors leading onto a private terrace or deck area. They all have beautiful views to the sparkling heated swimming pool, large gardens, paddocks and of course to the mountains beyond. Acara usually offers accommodation on a self-catering basis due to the excellent restaurants in the area, but a hamper breakfast comprising warm croissants and fresh juice can be supplied on request.

Check-In  02:00 PM   Check-Out 10:30 AM

Outstanding Views: Enjoy views through the gardens and paddocks to the scenic Helderberg Mountains beyond.

The kids loved the dogs and my daughter could not wait to feed and tend to the horses in the morning. Really a lovely place and will recommend it to friends and family

What a wonderful Garden! We had a wonderful stay with David and Fiona. They even organised an early morning ride with Ruth for us! Paradise on Earth...
Stunning view
Shane Dwyer, South Africa

We thoroughly enjoyed our two days at Acara, which was far too short. The gardens with all the birds, are magnificent, the view stunning, the accommodation very comfortable and mine hostess charming and helpful. Having "working stables" was an added bonus. My wife and I have travelled to Stellenbosch many times over the years staying frequently in B&B's in the district visiting our children at the University and Acara is the best we have stayed in.
Very good
