Special Times at Spier

Sherrilyn Guess on 28 June 2021
The first time I stayed at Spier was for my first ever Travel Counsellors conference in 2013. We all had a great time. Ever since then, I have wanted to go back to enjoy Spier with my family.

Unfortunately, the night before we were due to arrive at Spier, SA was moved to restricted Level 4 lockdown. This meant no restaurant dining, no onsite consumption, nor was the sale of alcohol was permitted. Our dreams of wine tasting, soup and wine pairing, wine by the fireplace, Spier’s gourmet dining plus, the wine gum tasting for my little one were all going to be just that – a dream! And the Cape had been hit by a massive storm, so it was pouring with rain!

Nevertheless, we made the most of our special time at Spier and what better place to be in lockdown than in a beautiful, large, comfortable Spier room, with a warm & comforting fireplace, big windows to let the light shine in!

My daughter loved the kids club and baked us some yummy cookies!

The staff were amazing, upbeat, positive and eager to help in any way, with a large smile!

The in-room dining was done in style and I commend them on transporting fabulous food, in the rain, still intact!

We also enjoyed our rainy golf cart ride to the Bird encounter – what a fabulous experience. It is a definite must.

Thank You Spier for helping us make another fun family memory xx

Don’t just dream it – live it! Let me take you there. sherrilyn.guess@travelcounsellors.co.za
