Cellars Hohenort

Cellars Hohenort in Bishopscourt

Situated in the heart of the secure Constantia Valley in Cape Town, The Cellars-Hohenort unifies two great traditions: the magnificent restoration of the Cellars of the 18th century Klaasenbosch wine estate and the splendid Hohenort manor house . The five-star Cellars-Hohenort is a member of the international Relais & Chateaux Hotels Association. Nestled against the densely forested eastern slopes of Table Mountain, the hotel affords breathtaking views across the Constantia Valley to False Bay.

With its understated luxury, antique furnishings and original works of art, the hotel is a celebration of traditional values and gracious living. It has nine acres of magnificently landscaped gardens and a small vineyard. The gardens feature roses, herbaceous borders, herbs, indigenous flora as well as a unique Knot Garden.

Cellars Hohenort: Gardens

Liz Mc Grath the owner of the Cellar Hohenort is an avid and knowledgeable gardener, The Cellars-Hohenort are acknowledged as one of the finest hotel gardens internationally. Recently voted by Garden Design a top American magazine as one of the top 30 hotel gardens in the world An example of her interest is her recent discovery of 8 camphor trees in the grounds. No one was aware that they were there because they were being obscured by indigenous plants which had sprung up and were growing in profusion around their base camouflaging an important piece of Cape history. This was soon rectified and the drama and history of the trees restored.

According to Professor Wim Tuimens of Stellenbosch University, the trees were brought out from Japan by the Dutch East India Company and were planted in 1690 beside the road that came out from the Castle to Constantia, where vegetables and grapes were planted to extend the Company's gardens. With urban development, most of these ancient trees have disappeared. There are still the odd one or two in the green belt of Constantia and those at the Cellars - in her own words "it is wonderful to have the 8 trees preserved in the gardens exactly as they were planted all those years ago". They are lovingly cared for and Liz Mc Grath has applied to the National Monuments Board to have them declared a National Monument for posterity.
