ANGALA BOUTIQUE HOTEL – WHERE LUXURY MEETS NATURE AND TRANQUILITY

Regarded as South Africa’s culinary capital, the Franschhoek Wine Valley has the best restaurants, award-winning wines, world-class wine farms, best accommodations, finest artisanal, and fresh produce. A trip to this Valley should be a must for any traveller visiting Cape Town. Franschhoek is located just 95km drive from Cape Town and is also known as the home of the Wine Tram, a popular dark-green hop-on hop-off tram that transports visitors to various wine estates around Franschhoek Wine Valley.

A mere 58km drive from Cape Town, on your way to Franschhoek central, is where you will also find Angala Boutique Hotel, a five-star family-owned and managed mountain-side sanctuary where guests are allowed to walk barefoot and relax in harmony with nature surrounded by lush greenery, a wide variety of bird species, and gardens with the majestic mountains of Paarl and Franschhoek as the backdrop.

Angala Boutique Hotel seamlessly integrates luxury with nature, giving guests a truly magical and tranquil experience where they can truly disconnect from their busy life, reconnect with nature, and simply let the world slow down for an opportunity to allow themselves to appreciate the simple things in life.

With prestigious wine farms, incredible hiking and cycling trails, world-class restaurants, wine tram, horseback riding, quad biking, and vineyards tours on electric bikes in the Frenschhoek area, and opulent shopping in Franschhoek or Stellenbosch including historic nearby towns such as Paarl and Stellenbosch, this makes Angala Boutique Hotel an ideal base if you would like to fully experience the Cape Winelands. Angala Boutique Hotel is so perfectly located that three of South Africa’s top wine farms are within 5km of their doorstep and almost half of the top twenty restaurants in South Africa are within only 10-30 minutes-drive from their main gate.

ANGALA PRIVATE GARDEN COTTAGE

For a more romantic and private experience, there is a private garden cottage with spectacular mountain views secluded from the rest of the Hotel (I would really love to experience the cottage in the near future). It’s perfect for celebrating those special occasions too. It consists of a spacious double shower, private swimming pool, and a lounge area with fireplace. It sleeps a maximum of two adults and two children between the ages of 8 to 12 years.

ANGALA RESTAURANT

Angala Boutique Hotel has a restaurant that is exclusively for in-house guests and is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This makes them flexible around any guests’ dietary needs and dietary requirements. Local and ethically sourced produce from their garden and local farmers is used to create their uniquely Angala menu.

ANGALA WELLNESS AND HYDRO FACILITIES

The weather was so great we had to take full advantage of their wellness and hydro facilities. We soaked ourselves in the heated plunge pool for some aquatic physiotherapy (or simply water therapy). This form of supportive therapy has been practiced for thousands of years and has evolved from primitive hot-spring baths, hot-cold showers, and water stepping to the modern in-home spa and hydro-massage therapies you know today.

OTHER FACILITIES INCLUDE

1. CRYSTAL-CLEAR ECO POOL

The water is kept sparkling clean by circulating it through a living ecosystem of water plants resulting in a lush indigenous aquatic garden cradling a clear natural pool. The water is perfectly clean, soft on the skin, and infused with healing energy without the use of salt, chemicals, or sterilisation equipment.

2. INFRARED SAUNA AND STEAM ROOM

To improve blood circulation and reduced blood pressure, clear sinus and lung congestion, open up and release dirt from skin pores, and promote muscle recovery and relaxation, an infrared sauna and steam room are available to use.

Experts say these are also great for weight loss and increased metabolism, immune system boost, detoxification, reducing the appearance of cellulite, eases post-workout pain and stiffness, aid skin impurities and cleanliness.

3. WELLNESS AND TREATMENT EXTRAS

If you would like some massage therapy in the comfort and privacy of your own room, Angala Boutique Hotel can arrange with a mobile service company to offer you a wide variety of professional spa and massage treatments, private yoga sessions, or specialised Shiatsu and Reflexology treatments. As this is a mobile service, they only work on pre-bookings made prior to arrival to avoid disappointments.
