Angala Boutique Hotel

Set in the Cape Winelands, Angala Boutique Hotel places you just minutes from Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Paarl and within easy reach of South Africa’s most celebrated wine estates and restaurants. Yet, it feels quiet and serene, with mountain views and indigenous gardens alive with the sounds of birds. It’s only a 40-minute drive from Cape Town and promises you a comfortable, “barefoot-luxury” stay – whether you’re looking to taste, hike, cycle or simply slow down.

Angala Boutique Hotel is ideal for you if you’re after a wellness retreat alongside easy adventures. You can opt for a dip in a chemical-free eco-pool, an ozonated pool or a heated plunge/spa pool. Plus there’s an infrared sauna and steam room. In-room spa treatments (from Swedish or deep-tissue to pregnancy massage) and private yoga sessions can be arranged. Local hiking and cycling routes let you explore the picturesque area. Furthermore, the team is more than happy to assist with arranging a wine tasting, guided mountain hike or an afternoon on a Winelands golf course. Numerous fine-dining restaurants nearby are a perfect choice for romantic dinners.

The boutique hotel’s rooms and secluded Garden Cottage offer practical comfort, including tea and coffee selections, private verandas and gardens. Many feature outdoor showers and some have fireplaces or even a private pool. The in-house restaurant is supplied by Angala’s own food garden and is open 365 days a year, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, catering to any dietary requests. Children aged 12 and over are welcome at Angala Boutique Hotel, which is also partially wheelchair-friendly, with some stairs/ramps available. A stay here combines beautifully with a few nights in Cape Town or a scenic coastal drive to the Garden Route.
