Set at the base of the Kranskop Mountains, Rosendal's Cape Dutch gabled
entrance reveals an elegant reception. Guests are welcomed with a glass
of Rosendal’s finest wine, enjoyed on the outdoor terrace overlooking
the farm dam. One glance at the resplendent rolling valleys and russet
Sauvignon Blanc vineyards, and a feeling of pure bliss envelops you.
Accommodation At Rosendal Winery and Wellness Retreat
With eight generously appointed rooms, all en-suite and offering
magnificent views, our 4-Star Guesthouse offers visitors the opportunity
to retreat or mingle, and is ideal for intimate celebrations and corporate
breakaways. Soak up the farm’s natural diversity from your private
verandah or enjoy a refreshing swim in our rim-flow pool. For nature lovers,
a short walk round the farm dam, with its viewing deck, is pure escapism
amidst the bustle of bird life. And, in season, an appreciation of farm
life comes from witnessing the harvesting of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes
and apricots in the adjoining orchards.
Spa Suites
The five Spa Suites are larger rooms in the manor house, overlooking the
pool, pond and the grape orchards. The Spa Suites are furnished with colonial
teak furniture and have a romantic, open bath, surrounded by silk curtains.
Farm Rooms
There are three Farm Rooms in the old farmhouse. All the rooms
are en-suite and have a private patio with a stunning view of Robertson’s
Wine Valley and surrounding mountains. There is colonial teak furniture
in all the rooms and they are open to children.
Family Rooms
Two of the en-suite Farm Rooms are inter-linked. This setting
is perfect for the family when parents want some peace and quiet.
Spa
Rosendal Spa's focus on wellness seems wholly appropriate in
such a sublime setting. Choose from an extensive menu of body and facial
therapies, including body wraps, massages, cleansing treatments, manicures
and pedicures, and treat yourself to the nourishing properties of the
TheraVine product range used.Locally produced, TheraVine has, as its essence,
grape-derived ingredients, rich in antioxidants and entirely fitting for
use on our historic farm. For brides-to-be, our destination spa creates
an ideal setting in which to prepare for your special day.
Restaurant - Country food with gastronomic taste
Indulged with the beautiful setting it seems only natural to
savour the tantalisingly fresh flavours available at our on-site Restaurant.
With much-lauded French chef David Godin at the helm, you are guaranteed
a superb gastronomic experience, be it for breakfast, lunch or dinner,
all of which are served daily. Our well-priced menu ensures that there
is something for everyone, with an emphasis on honest food, masterfully
prepared.
Having worked at a number of top European restaurants, David first appeared
on the local food scene during his time at The Greenhouse at The Cellars-Hohenort
hotel, where he became head chef. After winning the highly prized Johnny
Walker Chef of the Year award in 2005, he opted for a taste of island
life, heading the team at the exclusive North Island, Seychelles, resort
(recipient of the Condé Nast Traveller No 1 in the World, Best
of the Best, award in 2006).
With a choice of seating either on our deck overlooking the dam or in
the Restaurant, with a log fire welcoming you in winter, you are assured
of a relaxed yet refined dining experience that will leave you coming
back for more.
Boutique - Travel treat
Just as to embrace an old friend on departure allows you to savour their
fine company, a visit to our Boutique offers guests and visitors the opportunity
to take home a cherished reminder of an exceptional Winelands experience.
From freshly baked treats and preserves to handcrafted bags, clothing
and earthenware, our on-site shop is the ideal place to find your chosen
memento.
Wine Tasting - Tantalising taste buds
Central to time spent at Rosendal is a visit to our cellar, where
guests and day-trippers alike can enjoy free tastings of our selection
of award-winning premium wines, for sale only at the farm or by direct
order. Handcrafted from selected grape cultivars, our wines are produced
under four appealing ranges: Rosendal Breeze, Rosendal, Rosendal Barony
and Rosendal Reserve. Dinner guests may also request our food and wine
pairing experience, facilitated by one of our knowledgeable staff members,
all of whom are passionate about our wines.
Wine - Premium and Award-winning
The wines of Rosendal Winery are chosen and prepared by one of South Africa’s
leading and award-winning winemakers, Therese de Beer. Her knowledge and
mastery, combined with the quality standard of the Winery, gives a unique
guarantee when it comes to the individuality of Rosendal’s exclusive
wines. Its quality is evident in that Rosendal won South Africa's most
awarded Merlot, two years in a row (2012, 2013)! Simply said, these wines
are different from anything you've ever tasted.
Our wines are handcrafted with inspiration drawn from the beautiful and
fertile surrounding Robertson Valley. As the emphasis is on quality rather
than quantity, all grapes are carefully handpicked and the wines are presently
only available to an elite market in South Africa.
All Rosendal wines are sold exclusively through our own distribution
and orders are only taken directly with our sales office in Cape Town.
Thus these premium and award-winning wines cannot be purchased via any
other retail outlet. Not only do we deliver the wine to your doorstep
(within RSA), but all our wines carry a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
