A beautiful short-stay experience
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at The Cellars-Hohenort. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained, with lovely gardens and a relaxed atmosphere. We especially appreciated the warm welcome on arrival, with the General Manager personally joining the team to welcome us to the establishment. Our room was comfortable, the service was attentive, and the breakfast was excellent. A perfect choice for a quiet and memorable stay in Cape Town. We would gladly return.

Great historic hotel with beautiful scenery
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay here. The grounds were beautiful, and we were delighted to be treated to a personal tour of the entire facility. The staff took the time to make us feel truly welcome here.
Our room was also fantastic, with a large comfortable bed, spacious bathroom, and plenty of room to relax. The warm water bottle during turndown service was a very nice surprise.
We ate both breakfast and dinner here and enjoyed both equally. Highly recommend to anyone!
The hotel is a bit out of the way IMO, it seemed we had to drive off the beaten path a bit to get to and from here during our sightseeing.

Very good
Pros:

We visited Cape Town in early June and spent six days at The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with the beautiful views of South Africa’s iconic Table Mountain and the extraordinary gardens surrounding the property.

The atmosphere was wonderful, and the food and wines were exceptional. From the full English breakfast to the fine dining experiences, every meal was enjoyable. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help.

We truly appreciated the hospitality of both the staff and the management team. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable.

We would like to thank all those who worked so hard to make our visit so special.

A special mention goes to Quiet from the restaurant evening team, who always greeted us with a smile and made us feel welcome. He has excellent knowledge of the wines and menu, and we greatly enjoyed his recommendations and company.

The breakfast team:
Ferika was always available to assist us and ensured we had everything we wanted from the wide variety of breakfast options.

The housekeeping team:
Yonela and Phumeza were excellent and made sure our room was always comfortable and well prepared.

Reception:
Mbali was very supportive, professional, and friendly throughout our stay.

We had a truly pleasant stay and will definitely be returning. We hope to see you all again soon.

Beautiful Property
Pros:

The Cellars-Hohenhort is a lovely place to stay in the Constantia area. It was a quick drive from Cape town International airport. We used the official taxi stand and the price to get there was 550 Rand. The property is so beautiful and the staff is really nice. We are Hilton diamond and no upgrade was available. We booked on points and had the lowest level room. It was up on the the third floor and there is no lift. Luckily, the bell staff carried our luggage up. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was very spacious. We could see in to some of the other rooms during the cleaning service and they looked like they had really nice views. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. We missed seeing the resident tortoise outside so we may need to make another trip to South Africa.

Excellent Stay at Historic Location
Pros:

Had an excellent day at this historic hotel. Rooms are outstanding and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Purchased an upgraded room and was not disappointed. Well, not in downtown Cape Town they provide social service to waterfront and nearby gardens. I would definitely recommend this hotel and we’ll come back in the future.

Very comfortable amidst a beautiful setting, wished we had more time to enjoy the room and property.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent and we had a dinner in the restaurant too that was good. The staff are very friendly.

Cons:

There may be some language issue as I wanted 6 minute soft boiled eggs in the shell one morning with my english breakfast but still got fried eggs but not a big issue and staff offered to change it but it was fine.

Another wonderful stay at the Cellars-Hohenort
Pros:

I had stayed at the Cellars-Hohenort last year and when planning my holiday this hotel was high on my list of "I must return". From the very first greeting I felt immediately at home. Service, location, food and room were all wonderful.It's not always easy staying somewhere if you are a solo traveller but everyone made me feel so welcome. My room had a balcony from which there were splendid views. It was luxuriius and well laid out. I shall definitely be returning on my next visit.

We booked based on a friend’s recommendation and it exceeded our alteady very high expectations. Loved it!
Pros:

Gorgeous place. Everything about it was outstanding and we intend to return. Hard to single anything out bur the staff were wonderful and, even if you don’t stay, visit for a meal. The food is first class. For us the location was ideal. You may not need to hire a car for your whole stay. Ubers (by UK standards) are very cheap, and reliable. You can also use, as we did, the free hotel shuttle to get you to Constantia Village, Kirstenbosch gardens or the V&A waterfront.

Cons:

Not a thing.

Splendid!
Pros:

I wanted to have some quiet downtime after a busy week- long conference in CapeTown. The Cellars-Hohenort perfectly met my wishes. I took strolls around the grounds, enjoyed the large heated outdoor swimming pool, enjoyed wonderful meals at The Conservatory finishing the day off with their take on the sidecar, a "French Riviera" before heading to my room for a sound and restful sleep.
