The Vineyard
Over the past two centuries, The Vineyard has proudly evolved into one of the most environmentally-friendly, progressive hotels in Cape Town.
Taking the lead from the original owner, we have developed and adapted into the progressive hotel that you see before you today.
The eight-acre property home to a diverse range of fauna and flora is as innovative and groundbreaking as it was when the original house was built in February 1800. You can see the remnants of the first English style house to be built in the area, gracefully merging with the contemporary interior styling and luxury features expected from a modern hotel.
While time and progress took its toll on the vines at The Vineyard, it was replanted in 2008 to mark the 350th anniversary of winemaking in the Cape. Enquire about a guided garden tour.
Oude Werf Hotel
As the oldest running hotel in South Africa, the Oude Werf Hotel has a history that spans back over three centuries, surviving multiple fires and evolving into the luxury hotel that you see before you today, dedicated to green hospitality and giving back to the community. Established in 1686 as a modest thatch-roofed church at the request of Dutch governor Simon van der Stel, the namesake of Stellenbosch. Originally named d’Ouwe Werf or ‘the old yard’. In 2007 the hotel was bought by the Petousis family and developed into what it is today, a premier Stellenbosch landmark.
Dwyka Tented Lodge
Embraced by striking rock formations, Dwyka Tented Lodge epitomises an atmosphere of seclusion. Nine luxury tents, with private decks and heated Jacuzzis, are set in a horseshoe bend of a dry Karoo ravine. The lodge stands proudly upon the beautifully weathered landscape reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of the Khoisan hunter-gatherers who once roamed this land. Rejuvenate your mind, body and soul at the Relaxation Retreat, which offers an extensive menu of treatments and therapies. Dine alfresco in the boma or unwind in the communal lounge.
The Marine Hermanus
The Marine is one of South Africa’s most spectacular seaside hotels. Located on Hermanus’ famous cliff path, overlooking the breathtaking Walker Bay, the hotel offers visitors the unique opportunity to experience the finest land-based whale watching in the world from June to November each year. Guests are even able to view these majestic creatures from the comfort of their own sea view room.
