Lion Roars Hotels & Lodges Paarl Mountain Local Nature Reserve hotels

"The hotel has just been renovated and you can really tell, everything was beautiful and fresh. The room was lovely, roomy and the bed was very comfortable and it was a pleasant surprise to have a mini-bar with complimentary drinks included. The stay comes with a complimentary wine tasting and I'd recommend taking this, Tyson was so knowledgeable and passionate. We had a LOT of wine tastings while in Stellenbosch and Franschoek and this was the most informative one we had. The breakfast was amazing, a lovely cold spread with a great selection of hot foods and really nice coffee. We didn't eat in the main restaurant as we'd booked a local fine-dining restaurant months in advance and were fine-dining-ed out so went to Vadas, the smokehouse within the hotel grounds for the other night. This is a 5 min stroll and was fantastic, really good smokehouse food with brilliant waiting staff and of course, great wine. The grounds are fantastic for exploring and the pool is a lovely place to while away a few hours with an extensive and well priced food, cocktail and wine list. We would (and hopefully will!) happily return"

"Everyone made us feel very welcome. We had one small issue at the start and it was quickly taken care of. "

"Everything "

"Very nice location and food"

"Prior to check in time, we requested our luggage be stored as we were going on the wine tram. They not only did this but put our chocolate in a fridge so it would not melt "

"Great staff"

"Great stay for a group of us attending a nearby conference. Place was spacious, especially the loft apartments, service was friendly and breakfast great."
