The Cellars-Hohenort

What the classifiers highlight

In Constantia Valley, this 17th-century estate keeps an Oregon pine staircase built from its original roof timbers. The 51 rooms look over nine acres of garden and Table Mountain, and two solar-heated pools split the crowd: one by the vineyards, one walled off for privacy. Forbes names the oak-shaded Conservatory and the tasting-menu Greenhouse among its two restaurants.
