A Memorable Wellness Weekend Getaway at The Cellars-Hohenort
You can plan a wellness weekend getaway that meets all of your self-care needs, from sleep to exercise, good food, pampering, and fresh air.
Rest well with restorative sleep
Sleep plays a vital part in well-being. Poor sleep affects everything from physical health to increased stress, memory problems, and day-to-day functioning. If you have been struggling to get proper rest, changing your sleep environment can help. Even a night or a weekend away can make a difference. We offer a selection of accommodation options that cater to your needs, from Double Rooms all the way to Premier Suites.
Once you’ve chosen your accommodation and opened the door, your journey to deep rest begins. Taking off your shoes, getting onto a spacious king-sized bed, with cool linens, soft carpets underfoot, and comfortable pillows.You instantly relax. If you’re not quite ready to drift off to dreamland, you can enjoy your complimentary bottle of wine, order room service to eat in bed, and watch TV for a bit.
Once you wake up, feeling refreshed and ready for the day, tea and coffee await. You can then enjoy breakfast, before deciding what you want to do for the rest of the day.
Recharge and work up a sweat
Exercise is good for your heart, nervous system, joints, muscles, stress levels, and sleep. This is something that is easy to let slide when life gets busy. One of the many good things about a wellness weekend is having a chance to get back into healthy habits. Even 15 minutes of light movement makes a difference to your health.
Even if you’re escaping everyday life for a day, you can choose from a variety of wellness activities designed to get you moving. Spending time in the hotel gym is a good choice if you want a cardio workout, do some weight lifting or some stretching. If you prefer other sports activities, tennis, lawn games or mountain biking can be enjoyed. After your workout, a swim will cool you down. We have two pools, both heated. Sun loungers and towels are provided for you to unwind after your swim.
Enjoy good food at your own pace
Dining should never be purely about food. Enjoying food at a leisurely pace is essential to truly indulge in meals. Take your time as you savour light, local-inspired lunches at The Conservatory, looking out into the garden, spotting birds in the trees, and eating without hurrying. Even if you’re just visiting for the day, meals should always be enjoyed mindfully.
There is nothing quite like Classic High Tea at The Cellars-Hohenort. There’s something about high tea that lends itself to relaxed, slow dining. Sweet and savoury treats are made to be enjoyed with no rush. Visiting for a walk around the garden and spending a few hours in the Greenhouse or on the patio is a highlight, whether enjoying on your own or with friends. You’ll be able to step away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, enjoying scones, savoury tarts, and, of course, the best selection of teas and coffees.
Indulge with luxurious spa treatments
What wellness escape is complete without spa indulgence? Spa treatments help to relax your entire system, soothing stress levels, relaxing tight muscles, and allowing you to escape the world for a few hours.
Looking out into the gardens, the Fresh Wellness Spa offers a wide menu of treatments, from facials to the Five Senses Signature Massage. With authentic spa techniques, natural elements, and indigenous ingredients, treatments are designed to soothe the mind, body, and soul.
Get outside for fresh air and nature
The Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, focuses on the benefits of being outside in nature. Fresh air and nature are an instant mood boost, resetting your nervous system, clearing your head and leaving you feeling recharged. Being outside boosts your immune system, aids better sleep, and improves focus.
The Cellars-Hohenort gardens span across nine acres, featuring the second-oldest camphor tree in South Africa. In this garden, you’ll also find an enchanted forest, a vineyard, hidden doorways, a rose garden, and other surprises. You can explore the garden at leisure, sit in silence at a resting spot, or enjoy a garden tour.
