The Steenberg Hotel

The 5* Steenberg Hotel is situated on the Cape's oldest wine farm, a mere 30 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 False Bay. The hotel buildings, dating back to 1682, were painstakingly restored and have been declared a National Monument.

The estate boasts its own world renowned working winery, which produces a selection of celebrated wines including some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc in South Africa. Guided tours and wine tasting are available on request.

Named after the year in which Steenberg was established, Bistro Sixteen82 has become Constantia’s darling for tapas and bistro food. An innovative and interactive wine and food destination, the Bistro sits adjacent to Steenberg’s winery, and spills into indigenous gardens with a terraced dining area leading onto reflective water features, unfurling into views of the magnificent stone mountain and expansive vines.

The beautifully appointed accommodation with spectacular vineyard views, from striking Suites, to the more contemporary and charming rooms in the old barn and original Manor House, leave guests with a sense of nostalgia. Guests can choose from Classic Rooms, Superior Rooms, Premier Rooms, or One Bedroomed Suites. Families can opt for a Family Room, which has 2 bedrooms connected by a main lounge area.

For those wanting more space and privacy, the Two Bedroom Villa has a kitchen and dining area, plus a generous patio and private pool. The Three Bedroom Villa is a glorious family space where everybody can come together - whether dining, relaxing or swimming and sunbathing. 

Other hotel facilities include a stylish pool bar with loungers (where a bar menu is also available), and a lavish spa offering a wide range of treatments. For the keen golfer, an 18 hole championship golf course also forms part of this prestigious estate. There is also a complimentary shuttle bus to the V&A Waterfront area offered to guests.
