Constantia Valley Accommodation

Why you might choose to stay in the Constantia Valley

One of the most beautiful valleys in the Cape, the Constantia Valley, is an abundant array of forests, hills, stately historical homes and vineyards - a heady mix of old and new that lies nestled in the shadow of the Constantia Mountain, just outside of the city centre. The valley of the vines as it is known due to the splendour of one of the Cape's original wine routes, which today is one of the only wine appellation areas less than 20 minutes from a city centre, is an effortless green lung of the southern suburbs. Its northern boundaries lie against Kirstenbosch and Wynberg Park, whilst the Tokai Forest lies to the south of the valley imbuing it with a rich lushness even in summer. Did you know? Once you've booked your hotel or Constantia accommodation in Cape Town, explore the destination pages below for info on attractions, activities and things to do when you visit the Constantia Valley. Groot Constantia, Steenberg (recently acquired by Graham Beck), Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachtung and Constantia Uitsig are five worldclass vineyards that lie along the Constantia Wine Route – the route lined with huge, old trees that immediately add a sense of entering a past dimension. Constantia valley still boasts farm land, smallholdings and little farms against the mountain, despite the increase in the area's population growth, and catching a glimpse of riders on horseback, in a very similar vein to more outlying areas of Cape Town like Noordhoek, is common.

Despite this proximity to open land and a sense of being outside of the city, the Constantia Valley is anything but in slumber. Did you know? The Constantia valley, just twenty minutes' outside of Cape Town's city bowl, is breathtakingly beautiful, with vineyard rows that stretch up the eastern slopes of the Constantiaberg mountainside. Stay in the area to enjoy all it has to offer by choosing your favourite Constantia Valley accommodation.
