Full of character and high-spec finishes with the warmth of a private home, Majeka House is undeniably seductive. First, there’s the pretty garden setting in a leafy suburb of Stellenbosch, then there’s the quirky design features that have you looking up close and making notes. The Majeka Spa’s menu of varied treatments and Makaron Restaurant’s gourmet dishes and fine wines are the indulgent extras.

Majeka is situated just under an hour from Cape Town, within driving distance of several first-rate golf courses and the beautiful Assegaaibosch Nature Reserve in Jonkershoek Valley. Closer by a mere 11 minute stroll is the nearest vineyard and the hip gastro scene of buzzy Stellenbosch on the doorstep.
