Palm House Boutique Hotel And Spa - Your Stay in Cape Town

Palm House offers ten rooms and five garden suites spread across a century-old main house and the gardens. Options range from compact Deluxe Single Rooms (starting R2,430/night) to the 48 m2 Deluxe King Suite with a private terrace and mountain views. Garden Suites-like the Two-Bedroom Family (R10,440/night) and Three-Bedroom Family (R11,700/night)-have separate living areas and are steps from the pool. All rooms include high-speed Wi-Fi, a flatscreen TV, and a Nespresso machine. Many bathrooms feature marble finishes, rain showers, and soaking tubs.

Two restaurants are open to guests and visitors. Palm Terrace serves all-day breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea (R395/person, minimum two). De Tafel, open Wednesday to Sunday for dinner only, offers a multi-course tasting menu from Chef Gregory Henderson-think Saldanha Bay oysters, Joostenberg Farm duck, and Fynbos Honey Panna Cotta. Wine pairings (R100/glass) are selected by sommelier Richard Gosa. Friday Night Steak Club features Langside Farm prime cuts (180g or 300g) with sides like truffle fries. The bar also serves cheese-and-wine sessions daily from noon to 9 pm.

The Açaí Spa has four treatment rooms, a mani-pedi studio, an outdoor jacuzzi, and a Banya Sauna. Treatments use Healing Earth products from Africa (minerals, flowers, herbs, oils) and include nano gold technology, heated poultice therapy, rose quartz crystal, and microcurrent. Guests can book massages, facials, body scrubs, wraps, and couples treatments. The spa is open daily 10:00-19:00. The outdoor pool (with loungers, umbrellas, and kids' toys), plus the sundeck and gardens, are open year-round.

Palm House sits in Upper Wynberg, a leafy suburb on Table Mountain's eastern slopes. It is a short drive to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Wynberg Park, and the Constantia Winelands.
