Amazing venue and beautiful rooms, but the service is very much non-existent. When we arrived it felt like we were a nuisance, we were hardly greeted and our room had nothing as advertised, no water, coffee or towls.

We had a disastrous experience staying here, and later dealing with their accommodation manager - one of the unreliable and unprofessional people we've yet to come across. I would STRONGLY urge you to choose another option for any event or overnight stay.

We were here for a wedding, the wedding food was good and the views were pretty. However, the accommodation was disappointing for the price. It needs some upgrading as the bathroom roof had mold and was peeling off. The breakfast is also nothing to write home about, the hot option was bacon, scrambled egg on toast and a bit of tomato relish which was okey and then there was a cold option.

My weekend accommodation booked with Brenaissance already got off to a rough start when last minute I got contacted on WhatsApp to ask when I would be checking in since that starts at 14:00 and their reception is closing at 16:30. This was really a bit cheeky as there is no mention of this anywhere and no alternative option was offered other than they could wait until 17:00 so we had to scramble to get there earlier than planned which made for a very rushed experience. Upon arrival we were further informed the gates are closed at 23:00 and there isn’t any alternative means of entry after the fact. Something not advised beforehand anywhere. All was good and well with what seemed a very well sorted and kitted self-catering Orchard unit but it soon started falling apart as there seems to be a complete lack of attention to detail and what appears to be a lot of extreme cost cutting as if the place it going out of business. Firstly there were no fire-lighters or starter wood chips to make use of the corner fireplace, one of the nicer features for choosing the venue. An abundance of wood,but no way to actually make use of it. It soon also became apparent nobody actually checked this unit’s kitchen as there were exactly 3 butter knives, 1 regular wine glass, 1 mug, 2 espresso cups with 4 champagne glasses. No forks, no spoons, no teaspoons even. Ironically there were baking cup measure on the counter as if baking a bread was an option. Small things sure, but the problem is with nobody on site after 17:30 there was no way to resolve this which made for a poor experience overall. Further to this there was exactly one toilet roll in the bathroom and the tiniest unmarked bottles in the shower which could have been anything from shampoo to conditioner or moisturiser who knows. I don’t ordinarily even need these things but in the rush to make it for the check-in I had forgotten my own. The free WiFi listed as a feature was pretty much not available at this unit and even when walking down to the pool house the next day it is so speed limited it pretty much doesn’t work. The lady at the restaurant was all too happy to agree that WiFi is actually quite useless across the farm…so it seems they are perfectly aware of listing a feature that doesn’t actually work. Air conditioning worked as advertised and was welcome in the extreme cold weather, but I do worry with the complete lack of ventilation and water literally running down the walls how they keep the damp away. Breakfast at the restaurant was pretty good, but very limited to a hot or cold option in single dish set menu fashion. While the food was excellent it was quite sparse and again felt like a cost cutting measure. After noting the lack of fire-lighters, cutlery and glasses at reception and requesting an extra roll of toilet paper it things were mostly resolved but I got the tiniest piece of firelighter you can imagine and exactly one toilet roll that didn’t make it through to the next morning. Things improved overall from there on out until I got to this morning and there was no hot water and therefore no shower before starting the day. I was quite over it by then…not that there was anyone at reception to complain to. It seems a bit like a wolf in sheep’s clothing venue overall which looks good on the outside but is lacking an attention to detail that doesn’t match the price being asked of the experience.

The rooms are absolutely beautiful, clean and modern. Pleasantly surprised that breakfast was included. Staff are so friendly and really helpful. Highly recommend to anyone.

Beautiful, cosy, and quiet place to stay. All wine yards are easily accessible via Uber.

My Wife and I stayed over a night …nice clean room place well maintained and very helpful staff ……..also nice breakfast and amazing setting and tranquil….the morning when i had to leave i had a flat and one off the staff helped me to put air in the tyre …….will definitely be visiting again…

We recently got married and chose Brenaissance as our pre-honeymoon getaway and we made the perfect choice. Beautiful ambiance, peaceful surroundings and pure bliss.

Attended an Nguni auction hosted there. Novel approach with animals displayed via videos, before and during the auction. Buyers datbwtbtabkes and bid and refreshments served during and after. Lovely burger was provided by the estate, really something good and scrumptious. Very nice venue overall and the staff were efficient and friendly.

Secluded, functional, safe, clean and absolute great place to stay. Breakfast and cappuccinos out of this world. Can’t wait to explore their wines

We were taken for a ride by the accommodation manager here who repeatedly promised us a refund for one night where we didn’t stay, only to never deliver. She promised us in no less than 4 emails over a 2-month period she would process a refund and then did not, always giving us far-fetched personal excuses to justify her inaction. Extremely unprofessional, deceitful behaviour, on top of the very impersonal welcome we received here - so I would only recommend anyone think twice before booking here.

We booked out the entire venue for a wedding. The location is oustanding. It is obvious that the owner put a lot of thought and expense into the planning and building of the entire venue. The bar staff were friendly and great. The food was very good. The hall and chapel are awesome. The cottages are lovely. Breakfast was very tasty and well prepared. One small issue was that the rooms had not been cleaned very well (especially the bathrooms), so I would just double-check the cleaning staff, but overall it was really awesome and we would definitely recommend this venue for weddings. The cost was also very reasonable all things considered. Thank you very much.

We stayed 2 night in a two-bedroom self-catering cottage. The cottage was modern, comfortable with a fully functional kitchen and outdoor barbecue area. The pool and the entire resort are very well maintained.

Great location close to several Stellenbosch wine farms and the city, yet still far enough from the city to enjoy the quiet and peace. We were given a free upgrade, the room was great with all the necessary amenities. The small fire place was also a fantastic addition.

Attended wedding and reception. Unfortunately neither the Chapel nor the reception venue are wheelchair accessible. Stayed elsewhere.

stunning venue to marry a couple. I have emailed married a few couples there now and I look forward to many more. Troy Goldie Marriqge Officer

Love love love this place. Accommodation on point with friendly staff. The food and service at the Farmers Pantry was amazing. And the views were stunning! I would 100% recommend Brenaissance Wine & Stud Estate to couples wanting a little peace and quiet as well as families with children.

We only ate brunch there but it was exceptional! High priced but worth it for the beauty that surrounds you while you enjoy the excellent service and delicious food. Shout out to Vusi! 😁

Booked for 6 nights and immediate regret on day 1. Not practical for more that 1 night. No heating in the bed except for the AC that leaves your noise and eyes dry. Shower pressure was non existent. Rooms are not welcoming or homey. I will not start about the customer service… Would definitely not recommend it for more that 1 night.

Only speaking the restaurant: welcoming service with a smile. "Possibly the best burger I've ever eaten," said a family member. My cheesecake was spectacular. Pizzas are top notch too.

Rather quiet this morning but service was impeccable and friendly. The Farmer's Pantry is open for 8am. Great views for a quick coffee or a delicious pizza. Child friendly set up with a play area outside

A beautiful setting in the heart of the Devon Valley. Very very well trimmed and maintained property. We spent an amazing night and little niggles were sorted out very quickly. The rooms are comfortable with modern fittings. We stayed in the Orchard chalet 3 bedroom unit with self catering. Our unit was very well stocked. WiFi is almost non existent. Apparently the kitchen is closed and so breakfast was disappointing with little choice of food. Instant coffee only. Other than that I would recommend Brenaissance.

Awesome restaurant 🍴. Great chilled atmosphere. Great food especially the Biltong pizza. Treat yourself! 👌 🔥

Great get away just outside Cape Town. Attended a friend's wedding and spent the weekend. It was really a great experience as the place is fully equipped with all needed amenities. You can even uber eats to the place as the venue isn't too far away from town.

We were there to do a wine tasting and then walk over to the restaurant for some food and drinks, but sadly the wine tasting area is still closed, they did inform us it should be opening in the next 2 months though. Pizza and drinks (local craft lager and cocktail) athough a bit expensive were great. The waitress was also very friendly, so we will definitely be back once the wine area is open again.

Amazing experience! We did the pizza and wine pairing! It was delicious and the wine deck is the perfect setting for a lovely event!

We we're there only for 1 night but it's in a lovely area, room was well appointed and very comfortable. Food was different but nice but please get bigger cups.......

Delightful, welcoming, tranquil and beautiful. We enjoyed our stay as well as visits to all the wine farms within close proximity. Will definitely recommend at least a 2 night stay.

Went for wine and pizza pairing on Sunday and it was dreadful. The pizza was cold, the amount of wine given for the tasting was less than 10ml and for R290 it was anything less than value for money let alone the experience. Staff was all over the show and nothing was explained. No serviettes, no cutlery or crockery and no sanitiser was available. Absolutely underwhelming from the wine to the service.
