À vivre

Tucked away in the historic Constantia Valley, just twenty minutes or so from central Cape Town, The Cellars-Hohenort offers a rare experience.
That of a secluded retreat, surrounded by award-winning gardens, century-old vineyards and the majestic peaks of Table Mountain.

Set on a former 17th-century estate, this iconic hotel combines South African heritage, contemporary elegance and gracious living. The atmosphere here is peaceful, almost timeless. From the moment of arrival, the sprawling gardens invite you to slow down. Tree-lined avenues, impeccable lawns and views over the mountains create a rare sense of space and serenity at the gates of a major city.

The Cellars-Hohenort is an ideal base for exploring the wine estates of Constantia, the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens or the treasures of Cape Town, while returning each evening to the calm of an intimate, refined address.

Layout

The property has 51 rooms and suites spread across several buildings surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens.
The communal spaces are organised around The Conservatory restaurant, an elegant lounge-bar, two solar-heated outdoor pools, a tennis court and a fitness centre.
The extensive gardens are one of the hotel's greatest assets, offering numerous lounge areas and a genuine sense of seclusion despite the proximity to Cape Town.

For your children

Families are welcome. Connecting rooms, a babysitting service and tailored menus allow younger guests to be well catered for. Children under two can stay free of charge in a cot.

Rooms

The 51 rooms and suites feature elegant decor blending contemporary comfort with South African touches. All enjoy views over the award-winning gardens or Table Mountain.
The higher categories offer more space, with separate sitting rooms, terraces or private gardens. Each room features high-end amenities, quality bedding and a bright atmosphere designed to promote rest after a day exploring the Cape region.

SPA

The Fresh Wellness Spa invites relaxation in a verdant setting. Massages, facials and wellness rituals are offered in a serene atmosphere inspired by the surrounding gardens. The spa perfectly complements the sense of renewal offered by the hotel.

Activities offered

The hotel is an excellent base for discovering Constantia and its wine estates. On site, guests enjoy award-winning gardens, pools, tennis, a spa and a gym. Nearby, wine tastings, hikes, Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, cultural visits and excursions around the Cape Peninsula offer a variety of experiences.
The property also highlights careful management of its gardens and resources, contributing to the preservation of this remarkable natural heritage.
