This was the perfect ending to our vacation! Silvermist Mountain Lodge is an estate with five suites and a number of cottages, perfectly located in Constantia winelands outside Cape Town. Our suite, the Vlakkenberg Suite, was very spacious and comfortable, with a big front porch overlooking the green mountain surroundings and features such as the fireplace and four poster bed added to the coziness of the space. We even lit a fire, despite it being at the height of summer! (The hotel supplies wood etc in the room)
On the premises are two restaurants, the Green Vine and award-winning La Colombe. We tried them both. Green Vine for lunch and breakfast respectively and La Colombe for the Grand tasting menu. Green Vine offers simpler yet very tasty food, with great vistas overlooking the vines. La Colombe treated us to one of the best food experiences of our lives! Naturally, having these two eateries on the estate adds great value, especially since other eating options are a bit far.
We received excellent service and both Tessa and Lyndsey in reception were very friendly and responsive. We definitely hope to return!
