At Nova Constantia we pride ourselves on not just offering a fine boutique hotel in the heart of the historical Constantia Valley but rather a private residence that exceeds the expectations of even the most seasoned traveller. The hotel is situated in a quiet yet accessible leafy suburb of Cape Town, known as the Constantia Valley, which evolved from the very first wine-producing farms established in the Cape colony, as early as 1685. This idyllic location provides the perfect setting to relax and rejuvenate with peace and privacy as the ideal.
Nova Constantia is a generously well designed space of architectural grandeur. Its African Chic contemporary style reflects the best of what the ‘new South Africa’ has to offer. The large private manicured gardens allow you to benefit from the alfresco lifestyle of the Cape and the design theme expands outdoors into several secluded tranquillity areas allowing guests to relax in privacy cocooned in sheer luxury.
