The Steenberg Hotel & Catharina's Restaurant
General info: Steenberg, which nestles in the Constantia Valley, is a twenty minute drive from the heart of Cape Town and the buildings date back to 1682. The buildings have been restored and declared national monuments.
The name 'Steenberg' means 'Mountain of Stone', however the original name has a more romantic name of 'Swaaneweide' meaning 'The Feeding Place of the Swans'. According to its website, the first owner Catharina Ras could have derived the original name from her former home in Lubeck on the Baltic coast of Germany or possibly that Swans did come drink from the farm's waters. It has a boutique hotel and an 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Peter Matkovich.
