L’Avenir have wanted us to come and stay at their
Lodge for a while and this was the perfect occasion to do so, as driving back
to Cape Town after their tour de force wine tasting, which finished rather late,
was not an option. We were given one of the best rooms in the Lodge and had a
superbly comfortable stay
There is a
bright and sparkling pool at the entrance, with lovely views over the lake
A covered verandah for breakfast or just for relaxing on warm days
The rooms are
all named after wines. Our room “Grand Vin Pinotage” had a huge bed and a
sitting room area, where we were able to work producing MENU on our laptops
A huge
bathroom with deep relaxing bath and a rain shower
Our own
private terrace with plunge pool, outdoor shower and loungers
and a view of
the vineyards
Another of the
rooms, “Grand Vin Chenin blanc”
Another view
Lots of space
in another room, “Chenin Blanc
Its bathroom
Each of the
front rooms has its own private terrace. That was ours on the left
The lake view
It is a short
walk to the tasting room and the wine cellar
The
magnificent Stellenbosch mountains in moody Spring weather
Here comes a
rain squall
The breakfast
buffet bar
Superb freshly
baked French pastries
The Lodge
dining room
It was a very
damp grey morning, so we ate inside

classic cooked English breakfast

and cheese omelette
