Property Description
A 5-star hotel and rejuvenating Spa, top notch cuisine, exceptional wines and an 18-hole championship golf course, make Steenberg Farm a complete leisure destination in idyllic Constantia. Established in 1682 as the Cape's first registered farm, Steenberg is a haven of tranquillity situated just 30 minutes from the Cape Town city centre. Exceptional cuisine at two signature restaurants caters for all tastes, from contemporary heritage fine dining at Catharina's Restaurant to more relaxed bistro-style fare and tapas at the popular Bistro Sixteen82. A complete destination, the farm houses an exceptional winery, producing some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc and Méthode Cap Classique in South Africa, along with several other celebrated wines.The 24 room Steenberg Hotel offers exquisite hospitality, a plush spa and plenty of history, all wrapped in understated luxury and discreet, personalised service. The original “werf “ resonates the history of the Cape and the life and times of the fascinating and feitsty Catharina Ras, who was granted the farm by Governor Simon van der Stel in the 17th century. The beautifully appointed accommodation with spectacular vineyard views, from striking heritage suites, to the more contemporary and charming rooms in the old barn and original Manor House, leave guests with a sense of nostalgia.Taking a leaf from Catharina's adventurous book, Executive Chef Archie Maclean is breaking new ground on the culinary frontier at Catharina's Restaurant, exciting palates with his contemporary heritage cuisine. Cooked simply and presented beautifully, his art-on-a plate menu is interwoven with fresh indigenous ingredients Catharina would have hunted, grown and prepared herself. By revealing hints of Catharina's thrilling life in this sensory culinary narrative, Chef Archie brings the 'contemporary heritage' dictum to life. Named after the year in which Steenberg was established, Bistro Sixteen82 has become Constantia's darling for tapas and bistro food. An innovative and interactive wine and food destination, the Bistro sits adjacent to Steenberg's winery, and spills into indigenous gardens with a terraced dining area leading onto reflective water features, unfurling into views of the magnificent stone mountain and expansive vines.The menu is a constant evolution of inventive dishes prepared with the finest locally sourced produce enlivened with hints of Asian flair. Executive Chef, Kerry Kilpin creates food with an inimitable contemporary spirit that is seasonal, flavourful and bursts with freshness.
