This luxury 5 star boutique hotel is situated on a working wine farm, only 30 minutes from Cape Town and Cape Town International Airport. The magnificent gabled walls of a Cape Dutch homestead await you when you enter the white gates of Palmiet Valley Wine Estate. Vineyards stretch out to the Drakenstein Mountains to offer a haven of luxury accommodation to the discerning traveller. Palmiet Valley Wine Estate is in the centre of the historic Winelands area of the Cape and is the perfect place for a weekend escape or a holiday destination for the city dweller. It is the perfect venue for a never to be forgotten wedding and a spectacular base from which to explore South Africa's beautiful wine country. ROOM & SUITE TYPES: Expect crisp cotton linen on Victorian sized beds, gleaming wood floors, original art, worn Persian rugs and chinky crystal glasses from which to enjoy any of the Estate's exceptional range of export wines. Decorated by the present owner, each suite is a tribute to a collector with a passion for rare finds. Every room is a treasure chest filled with novelty pieces such as an antique safe, a 1920's celebrity-owned travelling suitcase, or the antique copper kettle which makes up the tea and coffee service in the Honeymoon Suite. FOOD & WINE: Dining at Palmiet is a sensory experience. The smell of roasting coffee and oven-baked bread will coax you out of bed in the morning to a spread of freshly picked fruit, yoghurts, delicious home-made jams and tables strewn with roses, hydrangeas and lavender. The resident chef produces daily menus, often Cape Malay influenced, using fresh local ingredients from our herb garden and locally sourced game and fish. Guests dine together, and meals are accompanied by a selection of regional wines, and of course the excellent Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Chenin, Shiraz and Merlot wines produced by the Estate. FACILITIES: Afternoons are for long lazy walks, snoozing by the pool or a therapeutic rooftop massage beneath a bedouin tent. In cold weather, guests retreat to a comfy leather sofa in the thatched attic lounge where a selection of Estate wines, a roaring fire and interesting reading material provide just the right kind of atmosphere for a winter break. Evenings at Palmiet typically include watching the mountains turn pink as the sun sets - a glass of Chardonnay in hand - before joining the other guests in the candlelit 18th century dining room at tables set with fine china and silver. Alternatively, guests dine al fresco, with only the stars above in the African sky to accompany the delicious meal. ACTIVITIES: Palmiet Valley Estate is located in the heart of the beautiful Cape winelands in the historic town of Paarl. Paarl and the surrounding wine farming towns of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch are famous for their world class whites, reds, sherries, ports and brandies. A highlight of any visit to the winelands is a wine tasting trip through these picturesque towns and farms, sampling the wine and cheese produced here, visiting the historic farm homesteads and Huguenot monuments dating back to the 17th century, browsing the quaint high street antique shops, and lunching in some of South Africa's finest restaurants or picnicking on any of the wine estates along the way. Ways to experience the winelands include by foot, on horseback, or in a chauffeur-driven classic limousine from Palmiet's vintage car collection. |
