It was all too easy to while away a whole day at Spier Hotel. I started one cool spring morning with a swim in the lap pool, steam rising from the heated water, the moon still high in the sky. I spent a couple of hours in the new spa, with its indulgent bathhouse. And later, I sipped South African Méthode Cap Classique sparkling wine at the rooftop bar, overlooking mountains painted pink by the setting sun.
