Last Word Constantia: Family Suite

The Last Word’s “beyond boutique” family of hotels epitomises the ultimate escape: comfort, exclusivity, tranquillity, space and sumptuousness, beautiful settings, with awe-inspiring views – and not least of all the often elusive factor that makes a luxury stay feel like home: warm hospitality.

An urban garden retreat, Last Word Constantia is surrounded by trees, a patchwork of vineyards, winding river trails and a well-trodden green belt. The intimate property is close enough to the city while feeling cocooned from the hustle. Managers Tess and Sam have a wealth of local experiences at their fingertips, advising guests on the best food, prettiest walks and picture-perfect wine-tastings. The lush, flower-filled gardens around Last Word Constantia’s pool are alive with birds, butterflies, chameleons and squirrels, and might tempt you to stay put and luxuriate, perhaps with one of Tess’s tailor-made picnic boxes.

Nine beautiful ensuite guest rooms are appointed with fine linens and sumptuous furnishings, the elegant décor a restful backdrop to world-class hospitality. Choose between Superior Rooms and three suite categories, namely Elegant, Family and Pool (the latter featuring a private garden and plunge pool).
