Win a Stay for Two at The Cellars-Hohenort Worth R12 000

Around midyear, when winter requires a gentle approach and special moments, an effortless change of scenery makes all the difference. And that scenery could not be more uplifting than the historic Cellars-Hohenort hotel tucked away in Constantia, enclosed in a magnificent 3.5-hectare garden setting.

Apart from the luxury and five-star service, a stay here allows for gentle strolls under ancient camphors, along winding woodland paths and through rose gardens and a small vineyard. Enjoy the views from a hidden bower, or if the sun’s out, settle into a lounger beside one of the two heated pools and order a drink. There’s also a tennis court for a rambling rally or three…

The Cellars Experience combines a stayover in a garden-view double room with dinner, breakfast and a spa visit included, providing plenty of opportunity to pause ordinary life and appreciate this special setting.

Room with a view

You’ll stay in a garden view double room in either the main house or historic Edwardian manor. The light-filled rooms are sophisticated and sumptuous, dressed in a calming, natural botanical palette, with a king-sized bed, ensuite bathroom, fully stocked minibar and 24-hour room service; you’ll also receive a complimentary bottle of wine to welcome you.

Spa pampering

Adding to the property’s overriding sense of tranquillity, the Fresh Wellness Spa offers a haven of serenity and relaxation, where you can enjoy a restorative treatment as part of your prize. Note: Treatments are being offered in the spa’s temporary home (one of the hotel’s two-bedroom suites) until 1 October, when the refurbished spa will be revealed.

Dinner for two

In the evening, enjoy an elegant two-course meal in The Conservatory restaurant, where chef Daniel Blignaut (ex Tswalu and The Saxon) conjures seasonal plates as beautiful as the view outside. Menu choices are likely to include the catch of the day, fillet steak, Karoo lamb and hearty curry, with ceviche, pasta or the signature twice-baked cheese soufflé for starters – or, if dessert will be your second course, the Liz McGrath chocolate plate is irresistible.

A final spoil

Before you leave, linger over breakfast and early-morning views of the garden. It’s a classic spread with six different kinds of toast, bagels and croissants, three-egg omelettes, brioche French toast, waffles, eggs Benedict or a full English – plus a selection of fresh juices.
