Highly recommended boutique hotel in Constantia

The accommodation is luxurious and beautiful. We certainly felt pampered and welcome. The special touches are numerous and the staff members are clearly trained to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Breakfast was extensive, served with a view of the lush garden which is filled with tropical plants and trees. Plants and greenery are found throughout the hotel which makes for a wonderful feel. The only minor issue was the non functioning TV, which they we aware of, but the technical support staff member was not available to attend to it during our stay.

Seclude and serene escape with attentive staff.

Amazing experience for what I thought would be a bad business trip. Amazing room and breakfast was spot on.

2/10 Poor

CHAOS IN PARADISE!!

Full review is on trip advisor & 25 minutes of great videos showing the Flooding on their Facebook page. Email via their website ahead of arrival 3 messages enquiring/ asking details. Management No response. Arrive as Honeymooners to a wilting rose & Welcome Mr & Mrs Garnett. (we are 2 men). Management (a lady called Tess) was so laid back seemed like she was a guest there rather than a worker. When I told her we had booked Simons as we had not heard back from them. She basically dissed simons stating I have a booking at the Open Door a much better option, turned out it was closed on Sundays. Night 3 at 10pm ceiling starts flooding water through light fittings. Management gone home already! Summoned only remaining staff Tom who arrives with 2 buckets & says will get it sorted in morning. Insist he goes call someone as water now pouring in & down walls ( no rooms above ). Another lady arrives immediately realises seriousness of situ. Scrambles our belongings into our 2 cases and moves us. Says will turn water off in morning. Barely slept worrying about ongoing water & electrics. This guest house boasts 5 stars & an exclusive in house chauffeur service. We were asked if we wanted them to take us to dinner each night. On leaving FULL 5 NIGHTS BILLED! Plus £40 billed for taxi in house transfers to nearby restaurants. Owner WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR! REFUSED TO COME & DISCUSS BUT ACTING MANAGER SAM RAN BACK & FORTH. 25 mins later paid in full. The Last Time. 5 star , attention to detail

10/10 Exceptional

It's all in the details

The Last Word Constantia really is the last word in luxury. When we arrived, we were greeted with coffee and cake and some excellent tips on what to see and do with children in the area. And then we were taken up to the Family Suite. What a fabulous suite of rooms, complete with mini bathrobes for children, a separate tv room with a Wii, two bathrooms and little toiletries so that our boys could enjoy a bubble bath. Thanks to Tess and her brilliant tips, we were able to visit a brilliant bird park as well as enjoy sushi and some excellent wine at a nearby winery. The staff were so kind and attentive during our stay, ensuring that we had everything that we needed and adjusting the breakfast menu to suit the tastes of two little ones.

Luxury boutique hotel in an amazing garden

This luxury boutique hotel is just down the road from some of the most famous vineyards in Constantia. It is just off the main road but you are not disturbed by it at all. Rooms are huge and have an open bathroom and all have a living area too. The best part is that all rooms face out to the most amazing garden with so many different species of plants and flowers. The pool area is a haven to admire them and relax. Breakfast has something for everyone. Free wi-fi and drinks.
