 Situated
in the heart of the secure Constantia Valley in Cape Town, The
Cellars-Hohenort unifies two great traditions: the magnificent
restoration of the Cellars of the 18th century Klaasenbosch
wine estate and the splendid Hohenort manor house previously
owned by the Spilhaus family.
In its renaissance as one of the great country house hotels
of the Cape, the five-star Cellars-Hohenort is a member of the
international Relais & Chateaux Association
Nestled against the densely forested eastern slopes of Table
Mountain, the hotel affords breathtaking views across the
Constantia Valley to False Bay.
With its understated luxury, antique furnishings and original
works of art, the hotel is a celebration of traditional values
and gracious living.
 The
Hotel is adjacent to the world famous Kirstenbosch Botanical
Gardens and minutes away from the Constantia Wine Route. There
are breathtaking scenic drives around the Cape of Good Hope
and eleven world class golf courses in close proximity.
It has nine acres of magnificently landscaped gardens and
a small vineyard. The gardens feature roses, herbaceous borders,
herbs, indigenous flora as well as a unique Knot Garden.
In keeping with the beautiful natural surroundings, recreational
facilities include two swimming pools, a tennis court and
a chipping and putting golf green designed by Gary Player.
We also have a fully equipped spa, Carchele at the Cellars
and the popular D & D Hair Salon.

 The
Greenhouse Restaurant
This stylish Restaurant, situated adjacent to the historic
cellar, carefully built around a giant 300-year-old oak offers
unparalleled garden vistas, whether you opt for the airy indoors
or the sun-drenched terrace.
The contemporary cuisine of Executive Chef Phil Alcock is
influenced by his extensive experience with the French and
British Master Chefs.
Under the direction of Manager, Nicolene Kotze the friendly
service is always attentive and unassuming and, of course,
what dining experience would be complete without the perfectly
selected wine?
For this very reason, our Sommelier Tatiana Marcetteau has
been "tasting away", compiling arguably one of the
largest wine lists in Southern Africa which boasts some fine
old vintages seldom found elsewhere.
Our award winning wine list, arguably one of the largest
in the country, comprises the finest wines of the Cape meticulously
selected by our International Sommellier.
For the ultimate candlelit dinner it is possible to reserve
a table for two in our wine cellar, surrounded by "walls
of wine" from nearby vineyards.
The Seafood Restaurant
How long have you been waiting to plunge "hands first"
into a laden seafood platter…and in Constantia? This
cosy reed-ceilinged room has been adapted for the duration
of the Cape Crayfish season to serve seafood "platters
a deux" to a select 5 or 6 guest couples (those who book
early) per evening!
Experience a seafood platter ... awash with succulent Cape
Rock lobster, mussels from Saldanha Bay, Tiger prawns, tender
calamari, filleted fresh fish, spiced Thai fish cakes ...
and taste the difference between Knysna, Walvis Bay and Normandy
oysters!
Our Chef Sommelier, Tatiana Marcetteau has compiled a "Seafood"
friendly winelist, appropriately featuring the Walker Bay Region
near our sister Hotel, The Marine Hermanus.
The Cape Malay Restaurant
This local cuisine restaurant is a unique dining experience
in authentic Cape Malay food and exciting choice of traditional
taste treats awaits you. Spicy, rustic colours create a pleasant
Eastern ambiance.
Enthusiastic staff explain the concept behind the cuisine
and guide guests through the comprehensive menus.
Hot towels wrung out in rose water will encourage you to relax
and eat with your fingers. The wine list has been chosen specifically
to complement the spicy foods on offer and include a good spread
of local wines plus selected imports from Europe and the New
World.
Guests are ensured a wonderful evening and always come back
for more.

dessert. All three main courses are prepared for the table
to enhance your Cape Malay dining experience.
