One of my favorite spa experiences for a day of pampering. Therapists are amazing but admin staff and gluten free food options could be improved. Lunch is always delicious too.
The scenery is stunning. The service wasn't bad either. Think they can improve in the food department and they need more air conditioning in certain massage areas, the place is a scorcher in summer.
Upon arrival my boyfriend and I were greeted with champagne and fruit juice. We were assigned a table for the day where the personnel would collect us for our various spa treatments. We were also provided with gowns and slippers. Dependant on the spa package you choose you get a choice of either breakfast or lunch or both if you're there for the entire day. The food was good, except for the misunderstanding of our lunch. We received chicken whilst we were under the impression we would receive vegetable potjie. The chicken was rather bland and dry and not to my liking. However, the spa treatments were absolutely mind blowing and the personnel were friendly. The view was amazing. If you're looking for a relaxation day, Mangwanani Winelands should be one of your choices.
It was an excellent experience. Great service. The food was delicious. The setting was so serene. Loved it. 👍❤😃
This is not a couples retreat. But it is ideal for a group of girl friends to relax and unwind. The treatments are all done in shared communal rooms which can be awkward with complete strangers. The staff are very polite and friendly. The food is average but edible. The treatments are all wonderful! My favourite was the full body massage and full body scrub! What a treat!
I have been to Mangwanani a few times over the years and always found the experience enjoyable. On my return yesterday I was struck by the lack of the old warmth and friendliness of the staff. After some probing it transpired that therapists are working from 7am to 11pm daily! No wonder they show no enthusiasm for their work! I am shocked about what seems like slave labor to me and will certainly not return to support this company.
The scenery was really nice and it could have been very relaxing. However, my partner and I had the head, neck and shoulder massage. Instead of taking us to a private room we were given our massage in full view of other guests who were having lunch. There was a lot of talking, noise, even the churning sound of phones and coffee machines. Altogether it was not a relaxing experience and I won't be going back.
I had an absolutely awesome experience. The staff are amazing. Can't wait to go again and take my daughters with me.
The therapists are warm and caring and they go out of their way to accommodate your requests. The maintenance of the spa needs some attention but overall its a relaxing experience. We went for the half day spa and we're treated to breakfast, and four treatments. You can top up your water bottle through out the morning. It's the perfect place for a girls day out and I feel like we got value for our money.
I felt a lot more chilled after being pampered and would return soon.
Amazing spa with a lot of African heart, dance, relaxation time and all in all an incredible experience. It's one way to support local and truly experience African culture. The spa employs only from the local community and their products are sourced locally as well. Very good value for money!
A beautiful scenery, excellent service and friendly staff
I had the time of my life on my birthday 14/04/2017, the stuff was so friendly & experienced, their singing was the best thing I've ever heard. The food was well prepared & very nice.
I'll definitely come back to Mangwanani Winelands again.
Mangwanani Winelands Spa was a wonderful experience. With it's beautiful setting on a hill outside Stellenbosch, this is the ideal place to come and spend a day and get pampered from head to toe. Get 6 treatments that leaves you feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. We were welcomed by the friendly staff, was served with a champagne breakfast, and also a light lunch. The staff is wonderful, and the treatments excellent.
Had a wonderful relaxing day at spa. Massages was exelent, breakfast and lunch was the right portion and tasty. Not to forget the dessert and complementary drinks from bar whole day. There's 3 things I didn't like (1. The summer gown, didn't wrap nicely 2. The shoulder and neck/head massage done with other couples in a room, no privacy 3. Staff should be more quiet around the massage rooms). However over all it was worthed all staff was helpfull and great hospitality. Thanks Mangwanani Winelands☺
Great place for a day spa, really relaxing but it really needs work with the exterior presentation of the place. Amazing view though
