A NEW CHAPTER
IN T H E JOU R N EY O F H A Z EN DAL
As South Africa’s summer season gets into full swing there’s a buzz of excitement across Cape Town and the Western Cape. And perhaps nowhere more so than Hazendal Estate in the Stellenbosch Winelands, where this historic Cape farm recently unveiled The Hazendal boutique hotel, transforming this elegant estate into a truly multifaceted Winelands destination. The Hazendal boutique hotel opens with 34 rooms and suites, and the remarkable design has ensured the new hotel blends effortlessly into the existing heritage architecture of this storied Cape estate. With a beautiful location overlooking a picturesque reservoir, the whitewashed walls and pitched roofs pay tribute to the rich history of the farm – one of the oldest in the Cape – all while creating a contemporary country destination for leisure and corporate travellers. And there’s certainly a room to suit every type of traveller too. For that special occasion, the hotel’s flagship Presidential Suite offers indulgent levels of comfort, with a spacious living area spilling out onto a large outdoor deck complete with a private jacuzzi. Spacious Junior Suites boast private terraces overlooking landscaped gardens and manicured vineyards of the Bottelary Hills, while entry-level Superior Rooms gaze out through trellised jasmine across the sun-splashed central courtyard that’s home to the gorgeous hotel swimming pool.
