Majeka House & Spa: An Arty Bolthole in the Stellenbosch Winelands

Tucked below the Blaauwklippen Mountains, surrounded by vineyards and scenic forests, the suburb of Paradyskloof is, as its name suggests, a slice of paradise. It is here, on the edge of a quiet residential street, a short two-minute drive from Stellenbosch’s bustling town centre, that Majeka House & Spa takes centre stage. A destination in its own right – with a heavenly spa and five-star lodgings – it offers a tranquil reprieve from city life.

Its artfully quirky interior design earned the hotel a Condé Nast Award for Best Design Hotel in Africa & the Middle East in 2016.
