The immaculately restored 18th century hotel offers 29 luxury suites and 5 executive rooms with features such as thatched roofs, bamboo and yellow wood ceilings. The slave quarters of the old farm have been converted into five luxury Duplex Suites. These are also family suites, as up to 2 extra beds may be made up in the lounge area for the kids.

Eighteen suites are dotted around the estate. Trailing vines overhang private terraces that have spectacular views of the vineyards and valleys surrounding the hotel. The elegant Terrace Suites are designed with luxury and comfort in mind - the perfect "home" for a longer stay!

Five standard rooms with individual features are situated in the charmingly restored coach house and stables of the estate. Each has a garden terrace with a magnificent view of the Drakenstein Mountains.

The magnificent manor house forms the heart of the hotel and houses Bosman’s Restaurant. Africa’s gracious, first and only Relais Gourmand is a world-class award-winning restaurant. Surrounded by an elegant ambience, you’ll find the mood gracious rather than intimidatingly formal.

A superb wine list to accompany every palate and expert sommelier’s advice is part of the highly professional service standard.

The new BISTRO Allegro is the casual Restaurant for the more relaxed dining experiences.
