The Cellars-Hohenort

Very nice and clean . The building looks very attractive, and breakfast is good too

My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon at this amazing hotel. Even the drive to the property is enchanting and once through the gate you cannot believe how well maintained the landscaping is which compliments the beautifully decorated and preserved buildings. They went above and beyond to make our visit extra special. The beds feel like you are sleeping in the clouds they are so incredibly comfortable. The heated turndown service is the best. The breakfast buffet is out of this world with fresh juices, fruit, pastries, breads, you name it they have it. The service is first class all the way. It’s so nice that it will be hard to leave. Thank you so much to the entire team for making us feel so special and welcome. Hilton should be honored to have this property in their family.

Pros: -Reception: Exquisite. By the time we reached the front desk, they already had our registration, a warm towel (soaked in lemongrass scent) & sweet iced tea ready. A duty manager (Ashwin) walked us to our room, showed us around, and answered all our questions. Duty Manager Llewelyn courteously extended our stay to 8 pm to accommodate our late-night flight departure. Personalized letter in our room explaining the available services and facilities. Nougats were offered as farewell gifts. - Room: A cheese and cracker plate plus a full-size bottle of wine welcomed us. Bedroom was small but had lots of storage. Bathroom was spacious, featuring a full bathtub, a large shower stall and 2 sinks. Amenities contained essential oils from Africology. Mini fridge contained complimentary Coke Zero, lemonade, beers, and water, plus cans of nuts, biltong, gummies, & chips. 2 hooks and 2 big towel racks (one heated as long as the correct switch is flipped) in the bathroom. 1 hook on the entry door to the bedroom. - Meals: Dinner was delicious (free-range beef burger, paella, & chocolate financier) and featured top-notch service. Different restaurant staff frequently checked on us. Restaurant (called the conservatory) is beautifully decorated with a full view of the greenery outside. Lunch was also delicious (Cesar Salad, Calamari, Oysters, & Chicken). Prices were amazingly reasonable for quality. - Facilities: Old-fashioned decorations but beautiful and clean. 2 outdoor swimming pools with heated water. - Location: Isolated in a remote place, with a security guard checking entries. The grounds spread out with nicely kept gardens and trees all around. Cons: - Bedroom: Windows without screens allowed big flies inside. The curtains allowed sunshine through early in the morning. - Bathroom: An instructive sign on the heated towel rack would be helpful. Water pressure was low. No handheld shower wand was provided. - Service: No Disturb sign was ignored. - Facilities: There were no elevators because the whole hotel consisted of 2 main buildings that used to be some old mansions, plus some detached small houses.

The Cellars-Hohenhort is a lovely place to stay in the Constantia area. It was a quick drive from Cape town International airport. We used the official taxi stand and the price to get there was 550 Rand. The property is so beautiful and the staff is really nice. We are Hilton diamond and no upgrade was available. We booked on points and had the lowest level room. It was up on the the third floor and there is no lift. Luckily, the bell staff carried our luggage up. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious. We could see in to some of the other rooms during the cleaning service and they looked like they had really nice views. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. We missed seeing the resident tortoise outside so we may need to make another trip to South Africa.

Truly Exceptional Experience and an Excellent Choice to Stay in Cape Town. The welcome was warm, friendly and professional, followed by an equally exceptional introduction to the hotel areas and our suite. We were given a complimentary uograde. Whole team are very friendly, helpful and professional. Our suite was well equipped and beautifully furnished. The High Tea was outstanding, one of the best we have had and truly compares with the best in the world, matching and even surpassing the likes of the Ritz. Dorchester and George V. Dinners and lunch are very good and the Cellars restaurant and lounge areas have great ambience. We most certainly will return and recommend to anyone visiting the area.

The photos do not do it justice, we booked here for our honeymoon and are we glad that we did! The service is exceptional, the food is incredible. On arrival we had a personal tour of the grounds, we were checked on early too. We didn't want to leave to explore cape town! We wanted to stay there the whole time! They have an excellent vegan menu, just ask for it when they seat you. Room service was incredible, we also met the local ducks and the grounds tortoise Ferguson who we found in the vineyard. We used the spa facilities and highly recommend. They do daily shuttles free to V&A waterfront and also to Kirstenbosh Botanical Gardens. We'll definitely be coming back

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.
