A charming hotel with a lot of character and far less corporate than many places in the area. The rooms are somewhat old-school but very spacious, and we were kindly given an upgrade. Breakfast was good, with a nice buffet that served its purpose perfectly before heading out for the day. The lovely garden invites you to relax, and the new spa is a real highlight. The massages were excellent, so good that we booked two, and offered very good value for money. The pool was only average. What stood out most was the staff: genuinely warm, helpful and attentive. They helped repair my glasses and even retrieved a ring we had left behind. Overall good value for money and a very pleasant stay.

An absolutely wonderful stay from beginning to end! The Cellars-Hohenort is one of those rare hotels where everything simply feels right. The property is beautiful, the gardens are stunning, our room was fantastic, and the food was excellent. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the team. Everyone was genuinely warm, friendly and attentive, and the level of service throughout our stay was outstanding. We felt completely at home and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. It was the perfect place to finish our South African holiday, and we left wishing we could have stayed longer. A truly special hotel that we can wholeheartedly recommend. We will definitely be back! ❤️🇿🇦

From the beginning, the Cellars-Hohenort went above and beyond for us. The staff, management and property are exceptional. Nestled at the base of Table Mountain, this property offered a quite reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. Breakfast was delicious with a variety of dishes being offered and a continental spread available for starters. We will definitely come back and stay at this lovely hotel!

We ended our three weeks in Africa at Cellars-Honenort, perhaps the best hotel experience we have had in the world. The hotel is spacious and perfectly envisioned with views of Table Mountain that you can touch. In fact I jogged into the ravines on Table Mountain from The Greenway accessible two minutes from the entrance. The food and service were excellent. Our usual desire on a trip is to talk with people about their homeland and lives even if they are living in difficult times. Your staff talked openly about the Country as well as their families and aspirations. Their sharing was in our experience unusual. We appreciate their openness and trust.

We had afternoon tea and it was absolutely fantastic. The food, setting and atmosphere was just wonderful. I loved that there were only a few tables in the green room and so was not noisy at all. Loved it will be back. Also I have dietary requirements and the food did not disappoint at all so delicious.

Response from the property

Dear Lee, Thank you for your great five star review and beautiful images. We're delighted that you enjoyed the afternoon tea experience and we look forward to welcoming you again. Kind Regards The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel

We stayed at the cellars hohenort for 3 days / nights exploring cape town. Everything was fantastic. 1) the morning breakfasts were amazing. Some of the best hotel breakfast we've had in all of our travels, with a great view of the gardens outside. 2) the dinners at the conservatory were genuinely wonderful as well, some of the best food we had in all of our travels in africa. 3) the location in constatia is amazing, being a 10 minute drive from multiple major vineyards and a 20 min drive into the city center. Couldn't have asked for more from our stay

Everything was literally 10/10. Didn't interact with one staff member who wasn't delightful and genuine. While waiting on our table for dinner Minawa, the bar tender, did a spontaneous wine tasting of 5 wines to help us pick our wine with dinner. The pools are heated just enough. The grounds are so lovely we decided we didn't need to go to the Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens and just stayed here. Staff made a recommendation to a little gem of a place in Hout Bay, not stuff or fancy but perfect and obviously loved by locals. Amazing little retreat in the middle of a busy 64-day world tour. Hats off....not much they could do better.

Honestly, the best High Tea I've ever had. Cellars Hohenort has to be one of the most beautiful places I've been to...the gardens feel magical. Great service and excellent food and teas. I will be back!

Response from the property

Where can I eat near The Cellars-Hohenort?

For an evening out, the hotel's own dining is the main draw: The Conservatory serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the Greenhouse restaurant is a fine-dining destination with tasting menus. The Martini Bar with fireplace is a cozy spot for a nightcap, and the Greenhouse Bar also has a fireplace. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is just a 19-minute walk away, so a twilight stroll through the gardens makes a pleasant pre-dinner wander.

Overall, it's a peaceful, garden-set base for those who don't mind traveling a bit for the city center.
