Cape Town Hotels: Constantia Hotels

The wine farming industry in South Africa was born in Constantia, sought-after by the 18th century aristocracy and praised in the novels of Jane Austen, so your hotel here is likely to be a traditional homestead. World class wines are still produced here today – take a trip to one of many working wine estates in the area and savour a glass or two of a fine Cape red.

You’ll find contemporary living in Constantia too - the recently renovated Constantia Shopping Centre has designer shops, craft markets, restaurants and coffee shops. Constantia is a good option for families - pack a picnic basket and head to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens where the kids can run wild, and in the evening enjoy a summer sunset concert on the spacious lawns.
