About us 

 

Situated on one of the world’s most beautiful mountain passes, Clouds Wine and Guest Estate is a boutique hotel and working wine farm. It offers premium accommodation, a range of wines under its own label and a contemporary restaurant.  A stylish destination surrounded by incredible views, a stay at Clouds Estate is difficult to forget. 

 

Great lovers of food, wine and design, a Dutch couple purchased this petite estate with its own vineyards, accommodation and extraordinary views in 2012 and turned it into a dream destination.  Designer furniture and original art by a selection of South African artists feature in all the rooms and around the lounge, bar and in the gardens.

 

With 7 rooms and 2 junior suites in the hotel and 6 villas on the estate, you have a number of options to select your perfect getaway from.  Enjoy the views, the wine and the peace and quiet that surrounds you.   Simonsberg makes the perfect backdrop to this world-class escape from the world.

Food & Wine

Food & Wine

 

Clouds is famous for its "Pink" Sauvignon Blanc. Its fruity aromas include kiwifruit and gooseberry flavours. The light yellow Sauvignon Blanc, with hints of granadilla, is a real crowd pleaser and the new Bordeaux style Red Blend, is equally enjoyable now but will mature beautifully over the next 5 years.    

 

Clouds serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily in the relaxed atmosphere of our restaurant and al-fresco when the weather permits it. Our hotel guests enjoy priority for restaurant bookings.
