Relaxing Gardens & Spa in Newlands

We offer you something rare

Space to think, space to wander, space to simply exist without agenda or obligation.

The hotel is surrounded by eight acres of tended (but not tame) gardens. From the hotel terrace, take in the pinch-me-please views of the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Wander along the forested trails that hug the riverโ€™s edge, and discover hidden nooks that invite quiet reflection or lively conversation.

Did we mention that youโ€™re likely to come across a wandering tortoise too?

Gardens

Where wild meets welcoming

Breathe deeply, let the natural surroundings ground you, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Tortoises
Our mountain tortoises are the gentle giants of our gardens. You might catch them wandering leisurely through the grounds or sneakily nibbling on hibiscus flowers. These steady companions embody the hotelโ€™s spirit, reminding us all to slow down and appreciate life’s simple moments.

Running Trails

Mountain

Our unexpected backyard

The mountain doesnโ€™t stand there just to look pretty in your photos. Sheโ€™s alive, ancient, and watching. Sheโ€™ll remind you that youโ€™re small, in the best way possible.

The other side of the mountain
Not the postcard version, but the wilder oneโ€”lush, rain-fed, and wrapped in forest. These are the eastern slopes of Table Mountain: green, alive, and just outside your window.
Where forest meets sky
Our backyard climbs steeply into a tangle of trees, waterfalls, and ancient rock, home to caracals, forest trails, and views you won’t find on a souvenir mug.
