Inclusive and warm, a luxury lifestyle redefined
Steenberg, a place of respite, announces its new and inviting spring-summer experiences and packages Steenberg Hotel & Spa in Cape Town’s majestic Constantia Valley has released its packages for the 2024 spring-summer season – and the experiences are every bit as unique as the estate itself. In a thrilling first for five-star Steenberg Farm, a scenic helicopter flight over the V& A Waterfront, Greenpoint, Sea Point, Camps Bay, Noordhoek, and Sun Valley has been included in its new “Steenberg Takes Flight” Package. The estate’s 2024 Summer Package and the ever-popular Fives Lives Package have also been meticulously crafted to showcase every amenity and activity the centuries-old urban sanctuary has to offer international and local travellers alike. According to Steenberg Head of Sales Neilen Tolmay, the Farm has evolved to deliver experiences that are unique to the property, and the packages are tailored to highlight everything there is to see and do at the centuries-old urban sanctuary.
“Sometimes people are unaware that there is also horseback riding or mountain biking, for example. Our packages encompass all that we offer,” Tolmay said. The Steenberg Takes Flight Package is the ultimate example of this holistic approach. In addition to viewing Cape Town’s magnificence from the skies, with the helicopter taking off from and landing at the hotel and spa, the two-night stay for two guests includes: • Breakfast at Steenberg’s award-winning Tryn or Bistro Sixteen82 restaurants or in-room dining; • Lunch at Tryn or Bistro Sixteen82 (seasonal special menu for two, includes a 12% service fee); • Dinner at Tryn or Bistro Sixteen82 (Seasonal special menu for two, includes a 12% service fee);
• Bottle of Steenberg Lady R Cap Classique in room upon arrival;
• Welcome bottle of mineral water;
• Steenberg Flagship wine tasting experience;
• 2 x 60-minute Holistic Touch massages, including a glass of bubbly and truffles;
• Use of mountain bikes to explore the 300-hectare Farm and
• Complimentary use of the Relaxation Area and shower for early arrivals and late departures.
Steenberg Managing Director Catherine Schulze says the hotel’s reputation among luxury travellers is built as much on ensuring guests’ individual expectations are effortlessly met as on its beauty, world-class wines, and fine dining. “What we offer in our packages is the true Steenberg experience. We pride ourselves on doing all the work for our guests. For us, the goal is a seamless experience,” she says. “In spring and summer, you can experience so many things outdoors, from enjoying our gardens and sculptures and outdoor spa experiences to golf at our championship course, breakfast on the patio of your room, or al fresco dining at the restaurants overlooking our beautiful pools.” The Hello Summer Package takes the form of a one-night stay for two guests and includes breakfast at Tryn, Bistro Sixteen82, or in-room dining; a bottle of Steenberg Chardonnay Brut Cap Classique in the room upon arrival; lunch or dinner for two (includes 12% service fee) and a welcome bottle of mineral water. A guided E-Bike tour through Steenberg grants you exclusive access to the breathtaking vineyards where you can enjoy a scenic and undulating route. The 7km journey across gravel roads, farm tracks and vineyard trails, culminates in a delightful wine tasting experience where you will get to sample some of Steenberg’s finest wines. The use of mountain bikes to explore the Farm; and complimentary use of the Relaxation Area and shower for early arrivals and late departures is also available. Meanwhile, the Five Lives Package, also a one-night stay for two, boasts a 60-minute Holistic Touch massage for two with a glass of bubbly and truffles; breakfast at Tryn, Bistro Sixteen82, or via room service; a bottle of Steenberg Five Lives Red Blend in the room; a seasonal special menu for two; a welcome bottle of mineral water; a classic Steenberg wine tasting; use of mountain bikes; and complimentary use of the Relaxation Area and shower for early arrivals and late departures. All packages carry complimentary Wi-Fi usage across the hotel property. Steenberg Reservations Manager Heinrich Hartnick explains the packages suit foreign travellers and local holidaymakers seeking a luxurious escape close to home.
“For international travellers, this timing coincides with the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, offering a perfect escape to sunnier weather. Domestically, these months are ideal for end-of-year celebrations, summer holidays, and long weekends,” he says. Although Steenberg Hotel & Spa accepts bookings through travel agents and OTAs (online travel agents), it encourages guests to make direct bookings to optimise their experience of the Farm. Tolmay describes the process as “treating reservations as your personal concierge”. “Our reservations team ensures your rounds of golf, dinners and any other activities you want to experience are booked. The team ensures you don’t miss out on any of the incredible opportunities on the estate. “Often, when you book through an online travel agency, you seek the best deal. But if you want the best service, book directly through the hotel. This is how you guarantee the quality of your experience.” Enquiries and bookings can be made directly through the Steenberg Farm website, contacting the reservations team via phone or email, or through the estate’s social media platforms.
