The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa has launched a rejuvenating Restorative Retreat package for those wanting to immerse themselves in the tranquillity of the 9-acre estate within the heart of Cape Town’s Constantia Valley.
The celebrated gardens of The Cellars-Hohenort lend themselves perfectly to the Japanese wellness concept of forest bathing. Here, against the backdrop of the eastern slopes of Table Mountain and surrounded by greenery under a canopy of 300-year old camphor trees, the gardens provide therapeutic relaxation. Guests are invited to escape awhile and explore the gardens at their own pace while focussing on sensory engagement to truly connect with nature.
The Restorative Retreat package offers pampering in the luxury of the 5-star hotel, a proud member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Accommodation in a room with a garden view sets the scene for a wellness break, complete with a yoga mat, resistance bands, and guided relaxation exercises provided. The offer includes a relaxing 30-minute Neck, back, and shoulder massage at the Fresh Wellness Spa, with access to two heated swimming pools, mountain bikes (subject to availability), the tennis court and the magnificent gardens. Discover the enchanted forest and the secret corners of the estate that range from water features, a small vineyard and a formal rose garden, to herb, vegetable and citrus gardens which grow fresh produce for the hotel kitchens. Venture further afield and explore the trails through Constantia’s Green Belt, or visit the acclaimed Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, only a few kilometres away.
End the day with an elegant 2-course dinner at The Conservatory restaurant where Head Chef Daniel Blignaut presents a range of fresh and delicious menu items, including vegetarian options. After a good night’s rest wake up to birdsong to enjoy a healthy and nutritious multi-course breakfast that includes fresh fruit and detox juices. Breakfast is served on the terrace in sunny weather or stay in and enjoy the most important meal of the day in a fluffy dressing gown and slippers in the cozy comfort of your room.
The Liz McGrath Collection also offers similar wellness packages at its sister-hotels, The Marine in Hermanus and The Plettenberg on the Garden Route.
