Steenberg Hotel Cape Town,  South Africa

Personal Impression
A unique property located in Constantia Valley. This 5 star hotel is situated on Cape Town’s oldest wine farm. The hotel buildings date back to 1682 and were painstakingly restored and declared a National Monument.  The estate is still a working winery that produces award winning wines.  The drive up to the hotel through all the vineyards is pretty unique and the hotel does not disappoint. A little less convenient to be out in the Valley but a wonderful place to stay in truly gorgeous surroundings.

Location of the hotel
The hotel is about 15 – 20 minutes by car from Cape Town in the Constantia Valley. Set in the vineyards with wide lush green lawns, it is a beautiful place to stay. The hotel is very close to the famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens,  False Bay and Chapman’s peak. They are a few minutes drive away and offer spectacular panoramic views.  Assistance is offered to book tours, a car with driver or a rent car from the hotel.

Accommodations
The hotel has 30 air-conditioned rooms in the five main houses. Each house is spread out over the grounds and houses several rooms. The swimming pool area is easy to access from the rooms and the view of the vineyards from some of the houses is very pleasing. The rooms are wonderful, with all the modern comforts, large bathrooms, great furniture and beautifully decorated.
