Majeka House

Majeka House, an owner-managed boutique retreat in Stellenbosch, offers a stylish haven amidst lush gardens. Perfectly positioned, it invites exploration of the historic town's vibrant shops, galleries, and renowned Winelands.

The 22 exquisitely designed rooms, transformed by interior designer Etienne Hanekom in 2011, feature bold colours, rich textures, and custom wallpapers, blending drama with serene comfort. Two luxury mountain suites boast expansive balconies with breathtaking mountain views, while three junior garden suites overlook a shared, exclusive-use pool. Each room includes air-conditioning, satellite televisions, Lavazza espresso machines, DVD players with a movie selection, and en-suite bathrooms fragrant with local toiletries crafted from indigenous plant extracts, complemented by thoughtful touches like comfy Crocs.

Makaron Restaurant, with its award-winning contemporary interiors of repurposed furniture and modern statement pieces, serves fresh, modern cuisine grounded in French classics by chef Tanja Kruger, using ingredients from the onsite organic garden. Guests can dine in the airy restaurant, on the sheltered terrace overlooking lush gardens, or by a cosy fireplace in winter, paired with fine Cape wines. The sophisticated bar enhances the elegant dining experience with its witty ambiance.

The professionally run Majeka Spa offers a range of massages, facials, and treatments, alongside a sauna, steam room, and fitness centre, while the communal indoor pool and semi-exclusive outdoor pools provide tranquil relaxation. Less than a 10-minute drive from Stellenbosch's city centre and 3 km from Stellenbosch Golf Club, Majeka House delivers a seamless blend of luxurious sophistication and the Cape Winelands' timeless charm.
