10 Sexiest South African Hotels — Pictures to Inspire

10 Sexiest South African Hotels (in no par­tic­u­lar order):

  1. Views Boutique Hotel & Spa (Wilderness, Garden Route)
  2. The Lofts Boutique Hotel (Thesen Islands, Knysna, Garden Route)
  3. Karkloof Spa Wellness & Wildlife Retreat (Karkloof, KwaZulu Natal Midlands)
  4. Hartford House (Mooi River, KwaZulu Natal Midlands)
  5. Upton Hall (Morningside, Durban)
  6. The Peech Hotel (Melrose, Sandton, Johannesburg)
  7. Airstream Penthouse Trailer Park at The Grand Daddy Hotel (Cape Town City)
  8. The Last Word Constantia (Constantia, Cape Town)
  9. Nova Constantia Boutique Residence (Constantia, Cape Town)
  10. Vineyard Hotel & Spa (Newlands, Cape Town)

Herewith, Cape Town’s premier teatime spots ...

When it comes to old-school, colo­nial eleg­ance, there aren’t many places that can com­pete with the Mount Nelson Hotel (named for Admiral Horatio Nelson, and not Nelson Mandela as so many people often assume). How con­veni­ent, then, that this grand old lady offers her legendary high tea to Continued
