It\u2019s the perfect time for South Africans to explore their own turf. With amazing variety, unmatched scenery, service-level excellence and an unlimited array of activities and excursions on our doorstep, it\u2019s easy to make a case for a staycation on our incredible home soil.<\/p>\n

The Cellars-Hohenort<\/a> is located in arguably one of Cape Town, and South Africa\u2019s most idyllic locations. A picturesque suburb, conducive to total escape, but only 15 minutes from the city centre, Constantia is venerated for its beautiful scenery, historical properties and access to a multitude of lifestyle and leisure pursuits.<\/p>\n

The oldest wine region in the country, the Constantia Wine Valley boasts some of South Africa\u2019s most impressive and storied estates \u2013 whose grounds, wineries and eateries match up to their legacy in years. With no less than five exquisite options in close proximity to The Cellars-Hohenort (namely Groot Constantia<\/a>, Beau Constantia<\/a>, Eagles\u2019 Nest Wines<\/a>, Constantia Glen Wines<\/a> and Klein Constantia Estate<\/a>) you\u2019ll have your pick for cellar visits and tastings. The Cellars-Hohenort also grows its own vines and features a region-centric wine list.<\/p>\n

And the culinary offering in the area equals that of the wine. With several of SA\u2019s top 20 restaurants within a 10-minute drive of the hotel, an award-winning meal is not hard to achieve. Plus, Cellars-Hohenort has its own top fine dining establishment on site, in the form of multiple award-winning Greenhouse<\/a> under Head Chef Farrel Hirsch.<\/p>\n

Those looking for something a little more action-oriented will be pleased to know that the Steenberg<\/a>, Royal Cape<\/a> and Clovelly Golf<\/a> Courses are all within a short distance of the hotel, making a round before lunch or a leisurely day out on the course a cinch. Cyclists and trail runners too are within easy reach of beautiful routes in the form of the Klaasenbosch trails (with direct access from outside the hotel gates), which also links up with the Cecelia Forest trail and Alphen Trail.<\/p>\n

But if you don\u2019t want to venture beyond the hotel\u2019s borders, we wouldn\u2019t blame you for wanting to stay on site. There\u2019s plenty to keep you occupied. Nine acres of lush gardens (including vegetable and herb gardens and magnificent 300-year-old camphor trees) are home to an array of birdlife and you can stretch your legs or enjoy the garden views from your sun lounger alongside one of two heated swimming pools.<\/p>\n

Longer stays needn\u2019t mean compromising on your personal fitness either. A fitness studio and tennis court help keep your routine intact. Care for a post match spa and beauty treatment? The Fresh Wellness Spa<\/a> and Hair by Eloise Salon<\/a>, quietly and peacefully tucked into the gardens, allow for an easy transition from action to pampering.<\/p>\n

Therapy of a different sort can take place on the premises \u2013 with high-end retail in the form of the hotel\u2019s exclusive boutique<\/a>, which features a fine selection of jewellery, Ardmore ceramics, sculptures, leather bags and belts, books, clothing and other beautiful items.<\/p>\n

For more relaxation and convenience still \u2013 if you need real downtime – a complimentary minibar, 24-hour room service and Wi-Fi will keep you connected and satisfied.<\/p>\n

With so much to do on the property, and in the immediate vicinity, it makes sense to stay on a little longer. The Liz McGrath Collection<\/a> is offering South African guests a great deal that allows you to really wind down \u2013 stay for four nights, but only pay for three. The hotel is child friendly and pet friendly too, which makes it an ideal place to take the whole family for a well-deserved end-of-year break.<\/p>\n

And if you do want to venture forth, the hotel is very centrally located. It\u2019s only a 10-minute drive to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens<\/a>, less to the local Constantia Village shopping centre, and a mere 15 minutes from the V&A Waterfront. These are all accessible via complimentary scheduled transfers daily from the hotel. You can also consult the clued-up Concierge Services and Travel Desk for any further suggestions and requests as far as excursions and recommendations go.<\/p>\n

Or, simply kick back and enjoy the summer sun by picnicking on the grounds with majestic views of the Table Mountain Range and the Constantia Valley surrounding you. After all, you\u2019ll be in a location that has been the stuff of global legend since the late 1600s. Isn\u2019t it time to make some beautiful history of your own?<\/p>\n

Opt for the \u201cStay a Little longer<\/a>\u201d offer, where, if you stay for 4 nights, the 4th night is free. Alternatively, for a slightly shorter stay, take advantage of the \u201cEat, Play, Stay\u201d offer that gives you 3 nights with the 3rd<\/sup> night free.<\/p>\n

These packages allow you to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy an unforgettable break in the heart of ‘Cape Town\u2019s Vineyard’, the Constantia Valley. Both the \u201cStay a Little longer\u201d and the \u201cEat, Play, Stay\u201d offers include:<\/p>\n
