Overview
Steenberg is one of a kind. Its unique historical background and irreplaceable situation make it a magical place to holiday at.
The luxurious Steenberg Hotel is situated on the Cape’s oldest farm, a mere 20-minute drive from the bustling heart of Cape Town. The hotel nestles in the tranquil Constantia Valley, against the slopes of the Steenberg Mountain, offering sweeping views over the False Bay. Its buildings, dating back to 1682, were lovingly restored and have been declared a National Monument. Here the legendary elegance and traditions of the 17th century blend harmoniously with the most refined luxuries and conveniences of our modern age.
This boutique hotel is a haven of serenity and gracious hospitality with a choice of 24 elegant, air conditioned rooms, three of which are the luxurious Heritage Suites. Each en-suite room is tastefully furnished, some with exquisite antiques and all overlooking the vineyards or manicured gardens. Award-winning chef, Garth Almazan, will host you at the Catharina’s Restaurant where guests are invited to relax, dine in style and enjoy sophisticated South African cuisine.
The professional staff in the luxurious and spacious spa will offer guests the perfect treatment to suit their particular needs. Tailored health menus are available.
The estate boasts a state of the art modern winery, Steenberg Vineyards, which is recognized as one of the top white wine cellars in the country, and features a popular new cellar door restaurant, Bistro Sixteen82.
A championship 18-hole golf course designed by Peter Matkovich surrounds the hotel. Guests are given special rates and can enjoy a round of golf on a course that was designed to make full use of the natural features and hazards.
In 2011 Steenberg was voted Best Luxury Hotel in Africa by www.TripAdvisor.com, the world’s largest travel site in its Travelers’ Choice awards, and Steenberg Vineyards was one of nine global winners in the Great Wine Capitals Best of Wine Tourism awards, also taking top honours in South Africa in the categories of architecture, parks and gardens, as well as wine tourism services.
