Categories range from entry-level rooms through Loft Rooms and Junior Suites to a Family Suite that accommodates up to four guests. Twice-daily housekeeping and evening turndown are standard.
Dining
Shoreditch Restaurant is the hotel's flagship eatery, serving contemporary shareable small plates and main courses inspired by the South African tradition of cooking over open flames. The adjoining Harvey's Bar pours classic cocktails, fine wine and sundowners, while the bougainvillea-draped courtyard is a favourite spot for breakfast and lunch in the open air.

Safari Specialist - Southern Africa
Knows The Winchester Hotel backwards. Your direct contact from first enquiry to the day you come home.
With Dolan and Jolene across the team.
"Five Star level treatment. I booked our Safari in Sabi Sans at Arathusa lodge, and our stay in Cape Town South Africa back in August of 2026 and the experience had been amazing. Safari.com agents have every detail thought from travel insurance, eSIM for phones, private transportation, and booked us amazing experiences. We saw the Big 5 in the Safari, went cage Shark diving, did a private guided Cape Peninsula tour. Everything was perfect! This was our first time using Safari.com and we will definitely use them in the future. I would highly recommend this company."
