break or an intensive period of relaxation and
rejuvenation. After substantive research, which we have
undertaken by travelling extensively to health and

The
Wellness Centre is built to international standards of
luxury and comfort, whilst catering only for a limited
number of guests, thereby ensuring tranquillity,
discretion and personalised service at all times. Guests
are treated to the elegance and beauty of luxury
accommodation set in the tranquillity of our beautiful
gardens; all suites have air conditioning, marble
floors, own fireplace, satellite television, telephone,
hi-fi, fresh flowers and fruit which is replenished
daily. Set on a sloped 4-acre estate with majestic views
on the southern slopes of
Table
Mountain
on one side and of
False Bay
on the other, our gardens lead directly on to
many private wooded walkways, whilst golf and
horse-riding facilities are also available on request.
The
Spa was developed by a physicist and his wife and they
have created a Xanadu-like Wellness Centre on the slopes
overlooking Steenberg Wine Estate. Their philosophy is
one of creating harmony of mind and body, creating a
wellness of being. It is probably the most exclusive and
luxurious health resort in the country. The beautiful
surroundings are conducive to relaxation, with a vista
stretching as far as
Cape Town's
False Bay.
Originally part of a large farm, the homestead is a
graceful
Cape
Dutch
design housing a conservatory' dining room and
comfortable lounge, as well as three guest-bedrooms
upstairs.
A
typical day at the Health Spa starts at 7.45am, for a
walk through the forest or a swim or a work-out session
in the gym with your personal trainer. A healthy
breakfast consisting of a large platter of fruit, plus
yoghurt and muesli and whole-wheat toast is accompanied
by a herbal tea of your choice. Everyone then scurries
off to be massaged and pampered, to play tennis or
simply relax around the pool. As well as offering
personalised nutritional programmes for particular
lifestyles, there are peripheral mind-and body-relaxing
possibilities. Some may prefer meditating in the
sanctuary' perched high above the grounds, others may
want to attend a yoga class or Tai-Chi or even an
aquacise session. After dinner, you may want to watch
TV, read or simply stare at the fairyland view of lights
in the distance. The bedrooms have separate sitting
areas with TV, CD players and relaxing music and are
furnished in chic, calm shades of cream and light beige.
