Description
The hotel opened its doors on the 1st of May 2008 and its name, Asara, derives from the names of the African gods of Earth, Sun and Sky.
Just over the hills outside Stellenbosch, and established in 1691, the farm’s history dates back to the earliest days of winemaking in the Cape.
The hotel’s Grand Ballroom is the ideal hosting venue, under the supervision of the hotel’s team of experienced event organisers.
Various events take place on the estate, including food and wine pairing evenings, wine lectures and sundowners overlooking the dam.
