This Cape Winelands Boutique Hotel is situated in the heart of the Cape’s oldest wine region.  The Constantia is an elegant and luxurious boutique hotel offering a unique and special holiday experience;  a sanctuary for your sanity, an oasis in the sea of hospitality sameness and away from the maddening crowds. We offer supreme comfort in larger than normal en-suite rooms, with private patios and five star grading. Inclusive in our rates are lavish breakfasts, all locally stocked beverages including premium spirits and bespoke wines.

The Constantia is part of “The Last Word” group; a new brand in hospitality within South Africa. Inspired by a family’s dream to find and share Africa’s oases of sanctuary and sanity, five stunning yet distinctive locations have been intuitively hand picked to provide savvy travellers with a unique adventure. Two of the properties, the Constantia and the Long Beach have featured well in the presitgious World Travel Awards.

The Constantia – Finalist in the 2009 World Travel Awards for Africa’s leading Boutique Hotel and for South Africa’s Leading Boutique Hotel.

The Long Beach – Winner in the 2009 World Travel Awards for South Africa’s Leading Beach Hotel and Finalist for Africa’s Leading Boutique Hotel.

The Last Word Retreats are located in and around Cape Town, each with its own soul, pleasingly different in style, views and activities, yet linked by the same distinctly superior hospitality standards. The secret is simply a combination of luxurious homely comforts, irresistibly charming care and stunning views away from the crowds.

In addition to the two retreats mentioned above, The five star Bishops’ Court is situated in what is arguably Cape Town’s most beautiful and prestigious suburb, so close to Table Mountain, you’ll want to reach out and touch it. Also part of the group is “The Franschhoek Retreat”,  an exclusive five star historic residence in the heart of Franschhoek’s village, the gourmet capital of South Africa. It’s only a minute’s walk from the many excellent award-winning restaurants and numerous character-filled boutique style shops and art galleries.

The five star Long Beach is right on the beach in the picturesque lobster-fishing village of Kommetjie, a short 30 minute drive from Cape Town. The eight kilometres of fine white powdered sand set against a backdrop of the most stunning sea views offers Cape Town’s most romantic hideaway, one of just a handful of places where the sea is on your doorstep.
