My daughter and I recently had the pleasure of visiting the newly renovated Steenberg Spa in Cape Town’s Constantia Valley. Nestled just 30 minutes from the vibrant heart of Cape Town, Steenberg Farm is a destination rich in history and natural beauty.
Established in 1682, it has transformed from its humble beginnings into a luxurious retreat that perfectly blends heritage with modern comforts. The 5-Star Steenberg Hotel & Spa features 24 elegantly designed rooms that embody understated luxury, offering stunning views and personalized service. Guests can indulge in relaxed dining at Tryn or enjoy the bistro-style fare and tapas at Bistro Sixteen82. The farm also boasts an exceptional winery, renowned for producing some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc in South Africa, along with a variety of celebrated wines.
From the moment we arrived, the serene atmosphere enveloped us, and what an unforgettable experience it was—especially for her first time at a spa!
The spa's spring-summer treatment menu offered an array of rejuvenating options aimed at refreshing and detoxifying, perfect for shaking off the winter blues. We opted for the foot massages and pedicures, which turned out to be the highlight of our visit. My daughter was thrilled to indulge in her first pedicure, and the gentle foot massage was a delightful treat for both of us. The skilled therapists took great care in ensuring we felt relaxed and pampered, which made the experience all the more special for her.
After our treatments, we headed to Tryn restaurant for lunch, where the menu was equally impressive. I enjoyed the delicious pork belly and my daughter loved the calamari and chips from the kids' menu—definitely a win for her picky palate! I treated myself to a rich merlot, which paired beautifully with my meal, while we both savored a refreshing sorbet for dessert. The culinary experience was a perfect complement to our spa day, allowing us to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
Steenberg Spa stands out not just for its luxurious treatments but also for its holistic approach to wellness. The staff emphasized the importance of self-care in today’s fast-paced world, making it clear that taking time for ourselves is essential. Monique Pereira and her team’s dedication to enhancing both physical and emotional well-being truly shines through.
Overall, our day at Steenberg Spa was a wonderful bonding experience. The combination of indulgent treatments, delightful food, and a tranquil setting made for a memorable outing that I hope to repeat with my daughter. If you’re looking for a luxurious spa day that focuses on relaxation and rejuvenation, I highly recommend Steenberg Spa. It’s the perfect escape for anyone seeking a bit of pampering and tranquility!
