What’s better than a glass of wine? Five glasses of wine!
The Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town provides sanctuary to the weary traveller with a haven set in the heart of tree-lined, flowery Newlands . It’s sun-kissed, fresh and clean surroundings, offset by expert amenities such as a luxurious spa and top dining establishments – an impressive five in total.
