Property details

The property

Elegant interior spaces include the lavish M Lounge and hand-crafted petrol-blue bar – a French-inspired retreat that’s perfect for relaxing beside the open fires during winter and enjoying a delicious bistro meal, and the renowned Makaron Restaurant for sophisticated evening dining. Hot summer days are best spent poolside in the tranquil gardens. Get rid of the knots at the on-site spa or, if you're combining pleasure with business, there's a fully equipped conference centre.

The rooms

Majeka House has 23 rooms – top-of-the-range premier rooms; three garden rooms opening to greenery and an exclusive-use plunge pool; two sets of spacious poolside rooms; and the mountain-view rooms, which offer both privacy and mesmerising vistas of the surrounding Helderberg range. Whichever you choose, you won't be disappointed. The rooms are all beautifully appointed, with opulent linens, stylish furnishings and ultra-modern sleek lines, and dreamy ceiling frescoes adding bags of romance. The large en-suite bathrooms are fit for royalty.

Activities

Stellenbosch has trendy bars and eateries at every turn, along with craft markets, museums and arty boutiques, and of course the famous vineyards are literally on the town's doorstep. For adventurous options, test your mountain-biking skills on the network of trails, hike through the nature reserves, or saddle up for a horseback wine-tasting tour. Back at the hotel, try out the Himalayan salt bed at the spa, or simply relax in quiet spot and look forward to an elegant dinner.

Something to think about

Something to think about

The location is slightly out of the way – if you have a car, you’ll be fine, but it’s not ideal for an exploration on foot.
