You stay at The Vineyard Hotel in Newlands, beneath the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. The hotel is set in gardens where you can join guided walks to see the indigenous plants and resident tortoises. Rooms face either the gardens or the mountain, with some opening onto private patios.

The Italian-inspired restaurant Morii serves house-made pasta and wood-fired pizzas, with a wine list that pairs Cape and Italian bottles. Other dining options include a café by the pool and a restaurant serving seasonal dishes. The spa offers treatments, and there are both indoor and outdoor pools.

Guided garden walks take you through the grounds, pointing out the flora and fauna. The hotel is near hiking trails on Table Mountain, including routes like Skeleton Gorge that lead to hidden waterfalls. Wine farms in the Constantia valley are a short drive away.

The hotel has a focus on sustainability, with practices like sourcing local ingredients and minimizing waste. Rooms are furnished in neutral tones, some with original Cape-style wood furniture.
