Lovely, clean and comfortable accommodation. Jacaranda Suite has a great extra long king-size bed. Good location for exploring the Winelands. Fiona and Dave were most gracious and Fiona's recommendation of Taste restaurant for dinner was spot on. One of the best dinners we've had in South Africa.

A place where we all wanted to stay longer and want to return to. The cottage is lovely, the garden beautiful and a thank-you to Dave and Fiona for the warm welcome.

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...
