The breakfast was excellent. Very good indeed. The accommodation was off site in the Villa which was disappointing. We were able to move to the accommodation nearer to the main buildings which was much better from our point of view. But we had to move back to the villa after 3 nights as all rooms were fully booked. If you are booking ensure you are in the main buildings not in the villa as you are somewhat detached from everyone. The only bonus with the villa its that it has a kitchen, fridge, freezer, cooking facilities and plates etc. The staff were very helpful in every respect.

As above.

The location the beauty and the excellent facilities

The Italian restaurant Cucina. Waiting staff caught up in conversations with one another. Inattentive. Wine by the glass choice very limited and not of good quality. Take Aways not accompanied by plastic cutlery. I asked for a soup spoon for a takeaway minestrone soup. I was offered a teaspoon. This is a demonstration of arrogance. The soup was good. The day I departed the receptionist told me that check out was strictly at 11:00 despite a note saying that it could be extended on request. She did not bother to check if there were guests checking in later.

Laborie is a beautiful estate. All staff are very friendly and helpful and the Stoep Cafe for breakfast is excellent. Our Villa bedroom was beautifully appointed

Please note that the Villa is right on the main road with the permanent noise of traffic . Not exactly what I had in mind . Also, once you are in the room , you are hermetically sealed indoors , to avoid the traffic noise, so you could be anywhere. Amd finally, the Villa is quite far from the main building so you need to drive … I should have booked the Normal rooms

Good sized room with masses of storage space. Peaceful location.

We were surprised to be given a room in the 'Villa' not the accommodation adjacent to the Laborie manor. The Villa is on the far side of the vineyard and a short car journey away from breakfast and the other facilities. Although well furnished and pleasantly decorated, the rooms do not open onto the lawn and have no terrace or outside seating area. There is a pool area which can be accessed via the main entrance. Car parking is some distance from the rooms and bags need to be dragged across a gravelled car park before reaching the paved entrance area to the property. Breakfasts are good but limited to one drink (e.g. coffee) and one breakfast choice (e.g. poached egg on avocado) but if you also want a glass of water or a croissant, this costs extra.

We stayed in the Cottage, which is located around 500m from the main House. It was peaceful and, although near a main road, relatively quiet. The room was large and comfortable.

Load shedding (power cuts) are a big issue in South Africa at the moment, and whilst there is some mitigation in terms of an Inverter at the Cottage, this only provides lighting. This could be a big issue in hot weather as there will be no Air Con. The cottage is also quite a hike to the main house for breakfast and dinner. We believe that if you telephone reception, the hotel will send a golf buggy if necessary, but fortunately we had a car and didn’t need it.

The location was perfect and very easy to find. The staff were very polite and attentive. The front gate man was very helpful with regards to directing us to where the accommodation was. The whole estate was spic and span, exceptionally clean and neat. The accommodation was very comfortable and modern and very clean design. The TV had an option to watch Netflix which was a fantastic addition to what is offered at Laborie. The bathroom was modern and clean and the floor was heated. There were lovely creams and shower gels and soaps in the shower. Our breakfast was included in the stay which was at Stoep restaurant. There was a wide variety of options on the menu. The restaurant was modern and clean and the staff were excellent. Lastly when we got back from our wedding there was a cat waiting to greet us. She came into our room and stayed the night which made us feel so at home.

The property was really wonderful, but I have to add that I had requested a 2pm check in time as we were due to attend a wedding. The room was not ready for us so that was disappointing to see the last guest's mess.

The room was beautifully renovated and decorated, the heated bathroom floor was a real bonus during the freezing weather. We dined at both Stoep and Suzanne restaurants and both experiences exceeded our expectations. The a la carte breakfast selection was creative and very well executed. As beautiful as the property is, it‘s ultimately the staff who can "make or break“ a place. What a pleasure it was to find an establishment where all the staff we encountered were exceptionally polite and helpful, from security guards at the gate, groundskeepers, reception, waitering staff and housekeeping. Thank you and well done Laborie!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lovely Laborie Estate. Great staff and convenient location in Paarl. The room was comfortable and the setting superb. Despite a few minor gripes we would definitely return on our next visit to the area. And their cap classique is delicious!

The restaurant at The Stoep could have been better. Undercooked Hasselback potatoes. It would have been nice to have comfortable chairs on the room veranda so you could sit and enjoy the lovely setting

Beautiful property. Friendly and helpful staff. Tastefully decorated and comfortable rooms. The room's bathroom had heated flooring, a nice touch especially since we stayed here during the winter months. Our room was equipped with a massive TV with free streaming services. Delicious breakfast included (you can order off the breakfast menu up to R190 per person). The on-site restaurant is tastefully decorated as well.

Nothing. Our stay was throughly enjoyed.

The Estate is wonderful. We really loved the restaurants, wine tasting (staff there is fantastic!) and overall scenery. The pool is amazing and the Deluxe rooms are very large and comfortable.

You get a voucher for breakfast but it doesn't cover much so be prepared to have to pay for breakfast too. Would definitely recommend the hotel to change that policy. Also, the alarm in our room did not work, also not after hearing from the reception staff that it was fixed.
