Dreaming in the hammock
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
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.

Description
Relax and enjoy your holiday in the Winelands of South Africa at Acara. Situated in the middle of the Winelands, near Stellenbosch, Acara is nestled in a valley called "Happy Vale" amidst scenic vineyards and has beautiful views of the Helderberg Mountains. The 3 cottages/suites are all beautifully appointed and all have double doors leading to their own terraces or deck area. They all have beautiful views to the sparkling (heated) swimming pool, large gardens and paddocks and of course to the mountains beyond. A fantastic location for visiting the entire area - from Cape Town to Franschoek & beyond, but yet peaceful and quiet. Acara normally offer accommodation on a self catering basis - because of the excellent restaurants in the area (there is an award winning restaurant opposite)! But a hamper breakfast can be supplied on request (think warm croissants, fresh juice). Dave and Fiona offer exceptional hospitality and can offer suggestions on day trips, restaurants and things to do in the region. A great base to explore the area, or to simply relax!
