We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the experience for our guests at the Bothey — from the little details to the bigger touches that make a stay truly memorable.

Whenever possible, we prefer to work with local artisans and makers, supporting their incredible craftsmanship while adding something unique and authentic to the Bothey.

We believe that good hospitality is about more than just a beautiful space — it’s about the people, the stories and the local talent that make it special. ❤️

And there’s always something new in the works…

🍷 Happy International Pinot Noir Day! 🍷

There are simply too many fantastic Pinot Noirs to choose from here in South Africa, made by good friends like Hamilton Russell, Newton Johnson, Paul Cluver, Creation, Crystallum — and many, many more.

Today, we chose the beautiful Kloof Pinot Noir from Iona. 🍷 A bottle with a little bit of age, which makes it even more special.

Here’s to one of the world’s most elegant grapes, and to the incredible Pinot Noir producers we’re lucky to have right here in South Africa.

Winter calls for great food… and an even better wine. 🍷❄️

Whether it’s a slow-cooked lamb shank, rich beef stew, roast chicken, venison, hearty pasta, mushroom risotto, or a sizzling braai, The Bothey Syrah Grenache 2024 is made to bring every meal to life.

Awarded ★★★★★ in Platter’s Wine Guide 2026 and 92 points by Tim Atkin MW, this elegant yet generous blend is wonderfully versatile at the table. Its balance of ripe fruit, spice and silky texture makes it the perfect companion for comforting winter dishes and fireside gatherings.

Order directly from The Bothey⁠ or visit one of the wine shops that stock our wines.

Great food deserves a great wine. This is one you’ll keep reaching for. 🍷🔥

Winter at The Bothey is something special.

From your Suite you can view the winter sunsets that paint the sky so beautifully, as the sun sets directly behind Table Mountain – a view our guests look forward to every year.

After a day of exploring the Cape Winelands, return to a suite designed for comfort and relaxation. Curl up beside the fireplace in our Devil’s Peak Suite or enjoy the cosy warmth of the flue that gently heats the entire room in our Table Mountain Suite. Add a glass of wine, and winter suddenly becomes the season you’ll want to stay a little longer.
