Steenberg Hotel Tokai, Cape Town
Expert reviews
“Twenty minutes from the central business district (CDB), this relaxed winelands hotel rolls out the vintage welcome mat at rates you’d expect to pay for plonk. The winelands are what to do in Cape Town and this is the place to make home base.”
“Travellers regularly vote Steenberg – a luxury hotel situated in Constantia, the closest wine-growing region to Cape – as their favourite luxury hotel in Africa, and with good reason. Renovations have been sensitive to its 17th-century roots, but contemporary facilities, such as a pool, mean it’s a cut above.”

Magnificent
Outstanding location, service, food and wine. Beautiful room and grounds.
Only one thing let us down. We had to leave early for a flight and did not have time to have our included breakfast. We were not told about the possibility of ‘breakfast to go’ until we were getting in our taxi to leave and then it was too late. Otherwise superb

Excellent experience. Look forward to my trip next week back to Steenberg.
This is the best overall experience I have had in a hotel in several years, and I have just got back from a 3 week trip to Europe, and the experience at Steenberg is like no other. The great experience started with the check-in process, where I was ushered to sit down and relax, offered a glass of bubbly, while the required documentation was filled in. Room was great, including clean coffee machine and thoughtfully, proper milk in the fridge. Restaurant assisted me with a glass of fabulous Chardonnay, even though they were already closed. Awesome breakfast experience.
I would prefer the music in the restaurant not to be so loud.

Very very nice.
I think the attention to detail, the gardens, the map of the sculptures, the interior, the art, the manner in the way the staff has been made aware of small details which every now and again let you think, wow, who thought about that.
I really cannot think of something I want to change. Maybe get some Belgian Beers on the drinks menu! LOL!

Small pool which was taken up by day spa people. There should be separate pool for hotel guests. Golf course almost impossible to get a on and when we did it was so slow play it was painful and ruined it for us

unique, beautiful hotel, lots to see and do, wonderful friendly staff, spa is brilliant
completely beautiful grounds, vast, beautiful scenery, food was delicious and there were two excellent options by way of restaurants. the vineyard on site was an added bonus and the spa was fantastic - highly recommend!
no gym on site but very kindly the staff drove me to the neighbouring virgin active gym and gave me a day pass so was no issue. the hotel was also not in central Cape Town, which was completely fine for me as I wanted a more relaxed quiet trip, otherwise all was really perfect

Exceptional stay
The entire experience exceeded our expectations. Let me begin by saying the staff is exceptional: very friendly and professional. Rooms are nice and comfortable. We had a little terrace where we could eat our breakfast. Pool area is lovely and was never crowded (December). Pool is heated. Plenty of Champaigne going around ! It’s nested in a beautiful vineyards and a park so ideal to just go around and chill with our 2 yo old boy. Both restaurants on the premises are yummy. I had a massage at the hotel spa and that was very good too.
