VENUE OF THE MONTH

Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa for business or pleasure

Whether it is for business or pleasure, Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is the perfect destination, with everything you could possibly wish for right on their doorstep. Just 40 minutes from Cape Town, but a world away from the bustle and busyness of everyday life, Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa beckons wine lovers, golfers, families, spa seekers and outdoor enthusiasts to the very heart of the Helderberg.

Surrounded by the majestic Hottentots Holland Mountains and rubbing shoulders with some of the Cape’s top wine farms – Vergelegen, Lourensford and Morgenster – Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is both a luxury haven and a relaxed home away from home. Guests are invited to unwind and reset their senses amongst the oaks, beneath the thatch, and in the hotel’s beautiful indigenous gardens.

The 56 rooms and suites are all spacious, comfortable, and exquisitely appointed, some with private patios or views over the mountains beyond. Peaceful palettes and special touches make you feel instantly at home — this is laidback luxury at its absolute best. Three different restaurants on offer include fine dining in Stefan’s Restaurant for an unforgettable table d’hôte menu brimming with global flavours and inspiration, or relaxed, al fresco lunches and romantic dinners under the stars on Oak Terrace; or the chance to share snacks and small plates over cocktails or a bottle of bubbly in the Magnolia Social Dining Lounge. Each a delicious destination in their own right, executive chef Stefan Bekker and his team will have you coming back, again and again.

Erinvale’s selection of meeting rooms, ample seating and an abundance of natural light makes it the perfect space to strategise, regroup or reconnect with your team. Elevate your conference package with a selection of special add-ons, including gift bags, gin tastings and spa treatments — or treat your group to a fine dining experience or a traditional braai under the stars. The banqueting team will handle every aspect of your event, from catering and accommodation, to excursions and experiences, with ease. Trust Erinvale to deliver a successful, memorable event. The only problem? You will never want to leave.

Erinvale Hotel’s well-appointed Lurra Spa welcomes you to kick off your shoes, slip on a robe and feel any stress melt away. Nourish your body (and soul) with a range of therapeutic skincare products (including Babor, TheraVine and TheraNaka) and treatments in one of the four spacious treatment rooms, before hot-footing it to the steam room, wallowing in the heated whirlpool or heading outdoors to take a lounger next to the pool.

Golf enthusiasts can enjoy access to the adjacent Gary Player-designed golf course for eighteen holes on the pristine greens, while the surrounding Wine Estates offer a myriad of outdoor experiences including mountain biking and hiking trails, world class restaurants and award-winning wines, all within walking distance from the hotel.

From the scent of fynbos in the country air to the hotel’s beautiful furnishings, tactile finishes, bold splashes of colour and warm welcome, Erinvale Hotel is a joy to visit.
