The Cellars-Hohenort: A Cocooning Winter Special in Constantia

Magnificent camphor trees, winding woodland paths, rose gardens and vines weave their magic around this country house hotel a mere 15-minute drive from Cape Town’s city centre, and are as captivating as ever as winter sunshine slants through the leaves.
