The Cellars-Hohenort – Cape Town

The Cellars-Hohenort, a Relais & Châteaux property, is a tranquil and award-winning foodie destination set on the back slopes of Table Mountain with panaromic vistas over the Peninsula. Located in the heart of the legendary Constantia valley, it shares its home with some of South Africa’s most historically significant wine estates and close neighbour Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens.

Its exquisite 9 acre garden (3.5 hectare) was voted as one of the world’s top 30 hotel gardens by Garden Design as well as winning the 2010 Relais & Châteaux Garden Award. It features trees dating back to the 1600’s, water and herb gardens designed to showcase Table Mountain slopes, a rose garden with some 550 species including one named after owner Liz McGrath with bronze and gold petals taking on an apricot hue, a unique knot garden and a small vineyard.

This elegant 5-star property boasts 52 individually decorated rooms, suites and villas in both the 100 year old historic Hohenhort Manor House and the newer Cellars Main House.
A variety of culinary delights await you. The flagship restaurant The Greenhouse is the playground of Grand Chef Peter Templehoff whose conceptual approach to cuisine was named  No 1 in the country by Eat Out, South Africa’s definitive restaurant guide. His cuisine deconstructs and reinvents past classics, placing emphasis on local produce and flavours.
Adjacent to the historic cellar and constructed around a giant 300 year old tree, The Conservatory offers diners unparralleled garden vistas, while The Martini Bar proffers award winning wines from the surrounding region.

The D&D Spa is the perfect place to relax and unwind, as are three swimming pools, a tennis court and a Gary Player designed putting and chipping green.
The owner-managed Cellars-Hohenort, part of The Collection by Liz McGrath, is a must for those looking to add cachet to their sojourn in South Africa.
