Testament to a rich history, trees in the surrounding forest of the gardens at The Cellars-Hohenort date back 300 years to when it was known as Klaasenbosch Farm. The garden spreads across nine acres and boasts magnificent views of the Table Mountain range. It contains myriad of delights, from the Picnic Garden and Hohenort Lawns which are favourite wedding venues, to a structured garden with a beautiful water feature, and several ponds.
The Formal Rose Garden includes the Liz McGrath Rose, which was hybridised in 2003 to commemorate the late Mrs McGrath’s 80th birthday.
Other eco-zones within the gardens include the Herb, Vegetable and Citrus Gardens which grow fresh produce for the hotel kitchens. 950 vines are watered by Mother Nature and produce approximately 500 bottles of The Cellars Hohenort dessert wine, Vin de Hohenort, each year.
Don’t miss out – R100 per person (free for children under 2 and R50 for children up to the age of 10) including a guided garden tour, as well as a cup of tea and a scone to be enjoyed on the terrace or Hohenort lawns.
