Isn't the view just gorgeous? I'd never visited the Asara Hotel and Wine Estate before, and had no idea of the view that they're privileged have. I can imagine that having a picnic on the banks of this little dam while taking in the scenery must pretty much be one of the best ways to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Asara is a little way out of Stellenbosch, and fairly close to the Spier Estate where Kerry-Anne will be hosting the 2012 Content Strategy Forum towards the end of next month. It's proximity to Spier and that Trip Advisor currently ranks Asara number 2 out of 18 hotels in Stellenbosch probably makes it a great alternative hotel. I wonder if the view has something to do with that? :)
