T he Cellars-Hohenort
Situated in the heart of the secure Constantia Valley in Cape Town, The Cellars-Hohenort unifies two great traditions: the magnificent restoration of the Cellars of the 18th century Klaasenbosch wine estate and the splendid Hohenort manor house previously owned by the Spilhaus family.
The Hotel is adjacent to the world famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and minutes away from the Constantia Wine Route. There are breathtaking scenic drives around the Cape of Good Hope and eleven world class golf courses in close proximity.
In 1997, French-born super chef Jean-Christophe Novelli joined with the prestigious Cellars Hohenort in a joint venture to launch Novelli at The Cellars. Novelli negotiated a joint venture agreement to run the restaurant at the hotel with owner Liz McGrath. With Novelli protege chef George Jardine running the kitchens at The Cellars Restaurant, Jean-Christophe's distinctive style of cooking is assured.
