Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the luxury boutique property feels as though it is in the middle of the countryside, yet it is perfectly placed to take in the city’s many sights. Guest checking into the property can make the most of the prime location by enjoying a diverse array of adventures right on their doorstep.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
Acclaimed as one of the great botanic gardens of the world, few gardens can match the sheer grandeur of the setting of Kirstenbosch against the eastern slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain. Arambrook Boutique Hotel is within walking distance of these spectacular gardens.
Norval Art Foundation
The Norval Foundation is a centre for art and cultural expression, dedicated to the research and exhibition of 20th and 21st-century visual art from South Africa and beyond. Located in the Steenberg area of Cape Town, adjacent to Table Mountain National Park, and just a 10-minute drive from Arambrook Boutique Hotel, the Norval Foundation combines art with nature with a sculpture garden, outdoor amphitheatre and research library. There’s also a restaurant and children’s playground.
Restaurants and Vineyards
Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs is renowned for its culinary scene with some of the country’s top restaurants within minutes of the hotel. Beau Constantia, La Colombe and Catherine’s at Steenberg are three that are not to be missed, while for exploring vineyards in the area, be sure to visit Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, Steenberg, and Buitenverwachting.
Shopping
The nearby historic Newlands district is home to great boutiques, art studios, delis, restaurants, and a beautiful community art centre, Montebello. Cavendish Square Mall – the premier fashion destination in this part of the world – is also situated near to the hotel.
Surfing in the RSA
The water may be a little chilly during the months of July and August, but that doesn’t stand in the way of avid surfers — especially given how fantastic the surfing conditions are at this time of the year. There are many great spots to surf in Cape Town, and the team at Arambrook is able to steer you towards the best waves of the day. Beginners will love Muizenberg, where the water is warmer, which is just 15 minutes away. Tried and tested Roxy Surf School and Surf Emporium come highly recommended.
What’s more, guests can embark on a day of fun-filled adventures knowing that they will be returning to the welcoming Arambrook Boutique Hotel where no request is too big or too small for the owners and their impressive team of staff.
