Spier Hotel

The Spier Hotel, built in 2000, is a place in which to relax and unwind. The 155-bedroom hotel is built on the banks of the Eerste River and has panoramic views of the Helderberg mountains and vineyards. The Spier Hotel provides four star comforts in a charming village-style setting with comfortable, spacious bedrooms grouped around six private courtyards and individual pools. Spier puts its focus on sustainability and wherever possible locally made and environmentally friendly products are used.
Spier also offers stimulating experiences, from exploring the collection of contemporary South African and African art to discovering the art in Spier’s wines. Guests can wander around the extensive grounds, landscaped with indigenous plants, or ramble along the river banks, watching the bird life or simply enjoy the peace.

The Spier Hotel is a premier destination for families wanting to travel without compromising on luxury. Children can experience the wonders and freedom of outdoor life, so lacking in our complex urban environment. That’s why the cornerstone of the children’s experience at Spier – conservation, adventure, nature and safety – has proved so popular. Of course, adults can enjoy a variety of activities too, from wine tasting to spa treatments and even a round or two of golf at De Zalze, Spier’s golf course that lies adjacent to the estate. And should you want a romantic night alone, Spier’s babysitters will take care of the children, or they can watch a film in the children’s clubhouse while you dine.

Grande Roche

 

Grande Roche is situated on the site of the old De Nieuwe Plantasie in the Drakenstein valley of Paarl, South Africa. Its heritage dates back to 1717 when a grant of land was given to Hermanus Bosman. In 1876 the homestead was renovated to reflect the then popular Victorian style. The farm was bought and modernised by the Du Toit family in 1926 and after a fire in 1953 it was rebuilt as a Victorian manor house.

It was finally restored to its original Cape Dutch splendour after careful research in 1991 and transformed into a luxury hotel. In 1993, the fastidious restoration was acknowledged when the Grande Roche Estate was declared a national monument.

The old T-shaped manor house, dating back to 1707, accommodates the award-winning Bosman’s Restaurant where a reservation is a promise of a treat in store.

Executive Chef, Roland Gorgosilich, and his team demonstrate their art each evening. Imaginative combinations of flavours and textures of quality ingredients are perfectly prepared and presented to make up a culinary experience of the highest order.

The well-stocked cellar with its rare wines and vintage champagnes – is a delight to guests, who are assisted in their choice by the Head Sommelier and his team who also conduct private wine tastings.

They offer matchless service and hospitality
within an exquisite location in the heart of the beautiful Cape Winelands.
The hotel is centrally located to all major attractions around the spectacular Cape Peninsula and is just 40 minutes away from Cape Town International Airport. Grande Roche is a member of Relais & Chateaux.
