Overview of The Cellars-Hohenort
Situated just 15 minutes’ drive Cape Town in the heart of the beautiful Constantia Valley, the owner-managed Cellars-Hohenort Country House Hotel offers understated luxury in its celebration of traditional Cape Town values and gracious living. The hotel is a combination of the magnificently restored cellars of the 18th century Klaasenbosch wine estate and Hohenort Manor House along with 9.5 acres of award-winning gardens.
Spend the day exploring some of South Africa’s best wine estates, many of which are just an easy drive away, or enjoy trips to Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or Cape Point. Take a relaxing stroll through the gardens or enjoy the hotel’s many facilities which include solar-heated swimming pools and a tennis court. Or unwind in the skillful hands of the trained therapists at Fresh Wellness Spa.
The Cellars-Hohenort has two award-winning restaurants: The Greenhouse, which focuses on modern interpretations of classic South African dishes; and The Conservatory, which offers up simple but beautifully prepared perrenial favourites. Both are overseen by Relais & Chateaux grand chef Peter Tempelhoff.

The Conservatory is a sophisticated ‘all-day’ restaurant and is located in the Cellars building. It has been built around a 200-year-old oak tree and offers serene garden views no matter where you sit. Using local produce, much of it from the hotel’s own gardens, the head chef creates an award-winning seasonal menu that includes traditional classics and occasional recipes created by owner Liz McGrath.
The much-praised Greenhouse offers unparalleled views of the Steenberg Mountains and a conceptual dinner menu that allows the culture, terrior and flavours of the Cape to shine. Each dish is coupled with an excellent wine, both working together to tell the story of the region.
