The beautifully refurbished 19th-century Cape Dutch Manor House is the epitome of charm, elegance and style. The five-star luxury boutique hotel is the crown jewel of a working wine farm and boasts manicured gardens designed by famed landscape artist Franchesca Watson. Visitors can look forward to enjoying a meal at the two exceptional on-site restaurants hosted by the hotel - a real treat for gastronomes; or be pampered at the outstanding spa, which focuses on the uniquely therapeutic benefits of South Africa's Pinotage grape.
The Rooms
This manor house has 17 luxurious, individually styled rooms decorated in soothing natural mushroom tones including grey, chocolate and creams.
