Cape Town
A glitzy makeover has transformed this historic estate into a bling-tastic property with 19 suites offering features such as 'his and her' bathrooms. There's a love-it-or-hate-it mix of antiques and bold, contemporary styling throughout. Either way, the property’s La Belle bistro and bakery, and chic Rose Bar, overlooking the manicured gardens and pool, are worth a trip on their own.
To get here by car, take the Constantia exit from the M3 and follow the signs to Alphen.
