This five-star boutique hotel is nestled in the tranquil Constantia Valley, against the slopes of the Constantiaberg Mountain Range. The hotel buildings, dating back to 1682, were painstakingly restored and have been declared a National Monument (the Steenberg is the oldest farm in Constantia Valley). Here the legendary elegance and traditions of the 17th century blend harmoniously with the most refined luxurious conveniences of modern age. The Steenberg also boasts a state-of-the-art winery, producing some of the country’s finest wines, as well as an 18-hole championship golf course. There are 21 guest rooms and three Heritage suites to choose from within the original buildings: the Manor House, Jonkershuis (young man’s house) and the Barn. The original wine cellar is now Catharina’s restaurant, one of Cape Town’s best. The sleek interior of the restaurant complements its historic Cape Dutch architecture and echoes its African roots with locally custom-made timber furniture and tactile fabrics in rich earthy tones. The expanded windows and doors offer sweeping views of False Bay, the surrounding mountains, and the sculpture-filled vineyards and gardens of the hotel. Guests can wander into Cape Town’s city center with a hotel transfer or relax in the hotel’s luxurious spa or in one of the two swimming pools on site.
Distance to the Airport: 20 minutes
Steenberg Hotel is highly praised by honeymooners and romantic travelers for its exceptional service, comfortable and quiet rooms, and beautiful scenic surroundings. The food is widely complimented, with both the Tryn restaurant and the Bistro receiving high marks for their delicious menus and excellent wine from the vineyard. The on-site spa treatments, particularly the massages, are noted to be of outstanding quality. The hotel's golf course is also highly rated. All of these elements, coupled with the friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail of the staff, make Steenberg Hotel a highly recommended destination for a romantic getaway.
Avoid this very expensive Hotel. The rooms are advertised as Mountain View’s, but we had no views at all. The pool pictured cannot be used by most guests. Join the Spa guest in the hope of getting a sun bed. Very close to Pollsmore Prison and police warning signs outside...

Read Full ReviewA wonderful resort, distinguished service; stunning golf 🏌️♂️. Excellent food. But the Bistro isn’t a Bistro considering the atmosphere over there… Though food is very nice it has rather the impression of a canteen.. Small pool area with attentive service and a slight asean touch…
