The Detail

Only 15 kilometers away from the V&A Waterfront and on the Cape Peninsula route, the hotel is within easy reach of popular Cape Town attractions. Close by is the upmarket shopping precinct of Cavendish Square, local arts and crafts facilities, the world-famous Kirstenbosch Gardens, and the Constantia Winelands.

The hotel comprises 208 rooms, suites, and cottages spread across the estate, offering views of the courtyard water gardens, treed parkland, and mountain landscape. Each room has a king or twin beds, an en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and shower, a Nespresso coffee station, and other standard amenities.

Courtyard Rooms

Fifty-nine Courtyard Standard Rooms are featured across three floors, amidst the shady tree-lined courtyard garden and water features.

Fifty-five Courtyard Deluxe Rooms are situated in the quiet, green tree-fern garden, surrounded by fountains and canals.

Cottages

Six cottages are located on both Liesbeek River banks, offering private, apartment-style self-catering units away from the main hotel. These cottages feature views of the working vineyard, riverbank gardens, bridges, and the terraced slopes of the hotel manor house. Each unit includes two bedrooms (one king and one twin), two bathrooms, a kitchenette, an open-plan dining/lounge area, and either a balcony or patio—making this an ideal option for families.

Suites

The Vineyard’s 26 Luxury and Junior Suites are located in some of the hotel’s most picturesque settings. These suites feature spaciously designed multi-room and open-plan interiors, separate en-suites, lounge and living areas, as well as private sundecks, balconies, or large picture windows. Each suite includes an en-suite bathroom with a separate bath and shower, with spacious lounge areas for added comfort.

Mountain-Facing Rooms

Sixty-two mountain-facing rooms are located across three floors, overlooking the lawns and gardens with a unique view of the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. These are among the hotel’s most popular "rooms with a view."

The Amenities

The hotel boasts a wellness studio, fitness center, spa, jogging route, children’s activities, two restaurants, a garden lounge, and two cafés.

The Square Restaurant

The 100-seater Square Restaurant serves buffet breakfasts, à la carte lunches, and themed dinners. It features a dedicated sushi chef and a Kids’ Menu.

Myoga Restaurant

Myoga Restaurant, an independently owned 100-seater "cuisinerie," offers an eclectic menu blending local and global influences. Lunch is casually sophisticated, with lighter meal mains and indulgent desserts. For serious food lovers, the evening menu includes a seven-course dinner or wine-pairing options, featuring innovative dishes paired with superb Cape wines.

The Garden Lounge and Patio

The Garden Lounge and Patio is an informal venue overlooking the gardens and mountain, serving light meals and refreshments throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors. Guests can enjoy options like fish and chips, gourmet burgers, sandwiches, salads, or an indulgent Afternoon Tea with cakes, pastries, and savories. A quiet cup of coffee is also served in the Daniell Room and Library.

"Jolene was simply extraordinary. She put together what became an absolutely incredible African trip for us in the space of barely three weeks, and from the outset her responsiveness, knowledge and genuine enthusiasm were exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, responses were almost immediate, and she very quickly understood exactly what we were looking for, our expectations and the way we like to travel. More than simply being an expert at what she does, Jolene genuinely cared about making the trip special for us, and that came through in every aspect of her planning. What particularly impressed us was the flexibility with which she brought everything together. We already had some of our own arrangements in place, including international flights and staying with friends in Cape Town, but Jolene seamlessly incorporated those into the overall itinerary and still organised all the surrounding logistics and transfers. The safari component she designed was outstanding, taking us through Kruger, Victoria Falls, Chobe and the Okavango Delta, before finishing in Cape Town and the Stellenbosch wine region. Every part flowed beautifully and the lodges, experiences and logistics were exceptional. Just as importantly, Jolene stayed in contact throughout the trip at all the key moments, which made travelling so much easier. She would check us in for our internal flights and send through the boarding passes, confirm transfers the day before each pick-up, and make sure everything was in place before we ever had to think about it. That attention to detail, and the fact that she was always one step ahead, removed so much of the usual travel stress and allowed us simply to enjoy the trip. It was genuinely the trip of a lifetime, put together in an extraordinarily short timeframe, and Jolene deserves enormous credit for making it all happen. We could not recommend her highly enough."
