Tee up at our world-class 18-hole Par-3 course for the ultimate golfing experience. Our course has been masterfully designed, with large undulating bent grass greens, beautifully and strategically placed bunkers and rough most golfers would like to avoid, setting you up for a great short game challenge, especially when the South Easter rears her head. We have been very aware while creating our course, to be environmentally friendly and responsible. While playing, you will not only be able to enjoy the challenge our course presents but also the amazing scenery of the Stellenbosch surroundings as well as the indigenous trees and carefully conserved pockets of natural vegetation which celebrate the fresh air splendour of our course.
Our state-of-the-art driving range is the first of its kind in South Africa. It is a spacious two-tier facility with 32 bays facing onto a 270-metre range. The bays are equipped with the latest tracking technology for an unparalleled interactive golf experience. In addition to our range, we also offer a large practice putting green, several chipping greens, a 90 metre pitching area, greenside practice bunkers and a fairway bunker. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to sharpen every aspect of your game in one place.
To complement the golf course and modern practice facilities, Hazendal has created the Putting Park, featuring a 27-hole putt putt course to be enjoyed by golfers, non-golfers and families alike (with all equipment provided). While the manicured putting green on the golf course allows for focused practice, the Putting Park allows golfers and novices to discover the lighter fun side of the game.
The custom-designed park is suitable for all ages and skills. It offers an ideal team-building experience, with the adjacent picnic areas and jungle gyms making it the perfect destination to enjoy the various event and party packages on offer.
Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide, with millions of enthusiastic players in more than 90 countries. The Hazendal Hotel is the only boutique hotel in the Cape Winelands to offer its own Padel facilities, with a world-class Padel court custom-built to provide both in-house guests and day visitors the opportunity to play amidst the beauty of the Stellenbosch winelands.
Generous picnic baskets filled with delicious fresh fare can be enjoyed on the spacious shaded lawns, at one of our pre-booked picnic areas situated in the gardens, or alongside the landscaped wetlands. With streams to splash in, outdoor sculptures to admire and gardens to explore, our picnics are ideal for families and friends looking to spend the day relaxing on one of the Cape’s oldest wine estates.
Bookings (24hrs in advance) for a picnic is essential. A full pre-payment is required to confirm your booking.
Please note that picnics are weather dependent.
Enjoy an exclusive journey into the wines of Hazendal, with a cellar tour and tutored wine-pairing experience in our elegant subterranean Wine Library.
Each wine is paired with a flavour-packed micro-plate, reflective of Executive Chef Michélle Theron’s inventive cooking style and showcasing her contemporary flair that is evident across the estate’s culinary offerings. The paired tasting portions are served in a striking ceramic and glass tower crafted by local ceramicist Hennie Meyer. When one serving is opened and enjoyed, the next bite is revealed as guests move through the pairing. Experience a bespoke food and wine pairing, with an interactive chef demonstration, world-class wines and topped with a delightful tea service and a delectable, sweet treat to take home.
The Wine Library experience lasts for approximately two hours. A maximum of 12 guests can be accommodated at a time, and prior reservation is essential.
The experience is available from Monday to Sunday at 12:30. Bookings must be made 24 hours in advance by contacting bookings@hazendal.co.za

Africa has been called the greatest show on earth, and Lion Sands presents a safari that plays out like a highlights reel. Our reserve conserves 5 000ha (12 500ac) of a habitat that is home to the highest and most diverse concentration of wildlife in the southern hemisphere. You will see all of Africa’s iconic species – lion leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, and zebra – along with a supporting cast of no less intriguing 137 mammal species and over 450 varieties of bird. Our safaris present an adventure that is wild, and then some!
Being entirely private, Lion Sands offers you an intimate safari experience. With only six guests to a game viewer and exclusive traversing on our reserve, you’ll have minimal encounters with other people. Though compelling sightings do attract more attention, the number of vehicles here is also limited. This ensures the animals aren’t put under stress and you are able to spend more time with them, observing their natural behaviour. While you are out exploring, you will by no means be roughing it. Your game viewer has cushioned bucket seats, waterproof device holders, blankets and ponchos – and stops off in a scenic spot for drinks and snacks.
These are our after-breakfast walks on the wild side. For those who wish to experience the bush, not just observe it, there is no better guided excursion. You are dropped in the thick of things and all five senses engage… Feel the scrub crunch beneath your feet, touch a velvety acacia seed pod, hear the crack of a branch indicating you are not alone, and spot the game appear just metres off – exhilarating! This is also a wonderful opportunity to encounter the smaller creatures, often missed on safari vehicles, and to discover more about the reserve’s plants – many with fascinating medicinal properties and traditional uses.
The African landscape stretches as far as the eye can see at Lion Sands, and we knew we had to find a special place to capture and enjoy its vastness and splendour. Guy Aubrey Chalkley once set up camp in a majestic centuries old Leadwood Tree to escape predators roaming the plains below.
We decided that this would be the ideal place to build the ultimate bush bedroom, the Chalkley Treehouse. The treehouse is a secure and lavish platform under the African stars, with all the comforts that a guest can experience at a five star safari lodge.
We take our guests to the tree house at sunset, where drinks and a scrumptious picnic dinner await them.The hours of African dusk can be enjoyed relaxing and absorbing the vastness of the bushveld as it transforms from day to night, before turning in for slumber beneath the incredible night sky.
Make your way through rows of magnificent white boulders and across a small drawbridge, and you will find Africa opening up in front if you. Set amid the pure and untouched wild, you will be surrounded by African bush and uninhibited wildlife at its best.
The Kingston Treehouse is constructed entirely from wood and glass, with contemporary décor in understated hues of greys, white, black and purple. No matter what the weather has in store, you will have a safe and luxurious setting with a unique window to enjoy the ever-changing views. In fact, we defy you to find two identical African sunsets.
The 60m2 Treehouse is situated about 5 minutes from the main lodge, and you will have radio contact with the rangers, should you choose to. You will also find some cellphone reception; but don’t expect any wi-fi in the bush. Kingston is equipped with full bathroom and shower facilities, and Africology products to complete your sensory experience.
Enjoy a dinner of tapas or a full meal with Champagne, under the splendor of an African starlit sky.
From boma feasts to safari refreshment stops, dining promises to be a highlight – for all our guests, with any dietary requirement, including kosher, catered for. Our chefs transform local recipes into contemporary dishes, giving you a taste for Southern Africa. Paired with premium wines from the Cape, dining becomes an experience. Our wine tastings are also a favourite of connoisseurs and dabblers, alike.
Between game drives, find spaces to simply breathe. Lion Sands' wellness experiences restore what daily life depletes - deep sleep returns, tension melts away, and time slows enough to reconnect with yourself. Massage therapies work through safari-tired muscles to the soundtrack of birdsong drifting through open windows. Facials and deeply hydrating body treatments use TheraNaka™ and TheraVine™ products infused with African shea butter, CBD oil, and Pinotage botanicals. Hand and foot rituals bring softness after days in open safari vehicles. Couples enjoy shared spa experiences whilst the wilderness continues just beyond your treatment room. All treatments feature indigenous ingredients that nourish skin left dry by bush air. Exfoliation rituals leave you smooth and radiant, combining luxury with plants that have thrived in this landscape for millennia - shea butter, healing botanicals, restorative oils that restore and rejuvenate.
Lion Sands together with More Community Trust assists our local Huntington and Justicia B villages, and you can get involved, too. Take a community tour, the proceeds of which go to our development projects here, or roll up your sleeves to help out through our Get Your Hands Dirty initiatives.
These centre on education, infrastructure, health and environment, and you can choose the area best suited to your skills and interest. These are extraordinary social experiences that bring you to the heart of Southern Africa to make your own and others’ dreams come true.
