Surrounded by blooming rose and jasmine gardens—as well as stunning Winelands scenery—this Relais & Châteaux property practically begs for thrown-open windows and romantic strolls. Twenty-two luxurious rooms, most set in Cape farm-style cottages, encircle an oval swimming pool with teak loungers (there’s also the separate Four Quarters Suites, a four-unit villa with private courtyard and pool). Top South African chef Margot Janse oversees both on-site restaurants: the dressy Tasting Room with its daily-changing tasting menus and the more casual iCi bistro. Kids are well looked after here; before arrival, their rooms are stocked with age-appropriate books, DVDs, and fun bath amenities like kid-size bathrobes and bath capsules that expand into African animal sponges.
Room to Book: Room 17 (the Pool Suite) is the best bet for families; it has its own private pool and garden, two baths, and a loft-style bedroom kitted out with twin beds and stuffed animals.
Insider Tip:
Eating alfresco is a must in this scenic setting, so stop for picnic fixings—like freshly baked bread and fabulous homemade charcuterie—at Bread & Wine, LQF’s sister restaurant set idyllically among vineyards and lemon orchards on Môreson wine farm.
