Lovely tasting room fills up with tour groups. Staff desperately need training. Preferred Thelema wines. Did purchase a Tokara Shiraz.

Modern architecture and great wine-making tradition do mix, as you will see there. Big glass windows invite the beauty of the surroundings to the tasting room. Wine-tasting was exceptional, including some of the most unique sips of any wine in Stellenbosch.

Setting nice, with great outdoor features. Inside cellar you have nice view over Stellenbosch. Wine bit expensive, but great value for money.

The views are really beautiful. If you can get a reservation for outside seating, this is ideal. Food is a asian fusion. It was very good. The wines and olive oils were somewhat left to be desired. For great olive oil, go to Morgenster.

View is simply spectacular. Lots of space for kids to enjoy. Deli items for sale, great olive selection. Breakfast was stunning, even though the service was slightly slow. Definitely book ahead if you plan to go on a weekend. Great way to start a winetasting tour!

The food and the view were delicious. There was nothing to complain about. The first time I had steak tartare was at Tokara despite living in Paris for a year, but now I eat it often. The food was beautifully presented and well cooked. I will come back!

We dined here on the first night of our latest visit to SA. Sitting on the stoep watching the sun set over Table Mountain is a truly memorable sight. The food & service were both excellent. highly recommended.

Great breakfast and lunch. They have a fantastic play areas for the kids, and the adults feel like they are not sitting in a playground...but can relax, as well, with the views and atmosphere. Nice outing for all. Clean bathroom facilities.
