Beautiful gardens, large oak trees and pecan nut grove. Stunningly decorated rooms with bar fridge, en suite bathrooms, flat screen TV and garden patio.
Weekend Stay
Reviewed By anneriekotzeWe booked and stayed at Nuwerus Lodge over a weekend. What a beautiful place, right next to Paarl, but still feeling as if one is out in the nature. Best spot to stay in Paarl, I believe. Hosts was more than helpful, the room was out of this world and everything one needs when travelling was available. The bed was so comfortable, I wish I could load it in my car, with the bedding - luxurious. No doubt, I will recommend and also use this place on any of our travels.

Superb setting and wonderful staff make this the perfect escape!
Reviewed By luckybear6My husband and I stayed here with 3 older teenage boys in Feb 22. We booked two rooms and had the most amazing week. We were trying to choose a location where the boys had freedom but access to activities and Pearl Valley was spot on there! Massive early mention to the superb STAFF team, particularly Monique who communicated so well with me prior to the trip and helped me book everything. Peter and Lisa on the reception desk were also so helpful, happy and engaging! The lady in the golf shop was very patient with my booking for the boys and last but not least, the wonderful lady who runs Backs deli by the hotel pool (sorry, trying to remember your name!) - super friendly and always willing to serve the best food and drink to the 5 of us! And the golf buggy shuttle drivers, they love their job, always waving and smiling! Activities: we all had access to the fitness centre and the choice of two pools to relax beside, the boys played football and rugby on the field, we could walk/jog around the beautiful estate and then we also arranged golf lessons for the boys. Huge thanks to James Wade for his communication with me and patience coaching the boys! Food: we could choose between the main Clubhouse restaurant and Backs Deli near our room. There were plenty of staff and a varied menu with specials each day. Easy food by the pool was a bonus, especially for the boys if we'd been out for the day. Backs also offer take out food and bakery items. If we were heading off early, the boys would grab a fresh smoothie and a pastry to keep them going in the car! All staff in both restaurants were happy and eager to please, delicious food and well priced. Rooms: very well designed, consisted of a double bed (or twin), spacious bathroom, patio/balcony, small sofa in front of the TV, desk and then the selling point for me, a small kitchenette area where we could make hot drinks, throw a deli pizza in the oven and chill our drinks in the fridge. Anything we required never seemed a problem for the team at all. ACCESS: this would be our only complaint - utterly ridiculous entry and exit procedures. Security needs to be tight, agreed, but the routine and rules changed daily and the staff at the gate blamed everyone else for the issues. The amount of time wasted trying to exit and enter was not acceptable and we can't understand why there is not a more efficient system in place. Other than that point - we would highly recommend this hotel and would like to return next time we are in the area. Great for families, singles and couples alike!

Terrible client service
Reviewed By Compass110009I had to cancel my booking due to personal reasons 5 days before my stay. After trying to communicate with them via email and telephone, they eventually agreed to pay me back 50% of my booking. For another 2 weeks I emailed and called almost everyday. I spoke to several people at reception and accounts and every time I was told they would call me back. I also asked several times to speak to a manager, but I was never called back. I then received an amount after 3 weeks, but it was not 50% of my booking either. The manager or anyone else from Laborie has still not contacted me.
