Nestling against Table Mountain's eastern flank, Constantia Uitsig Hotel & Spa is one of South Africa's most refined and luxurious small hotels. Each of the 16 guest rooms are individually furnished with private patios leading onto landscaped gardens. Uitsig Restaurant, one of South Africa's best restaurants offers Mediterranean Provençal cuisine with a strong Italian influence. La Colombe also continues to go from strength to strength as does the River Cafe. The spa with its six treatment rooms offers a signature treatment that is the essence and element of nature - Les Aromes du Vin. There are plenty of golf courses nearby, but cricket enthusiasts don't need to travel so far as Constantia Uitsig has its own oval.
