Located in Observatory, this out-of-this-world attraction is worth a look. But you'll find plenty more to discover in the area. Table Mountain, Cape Town Stadium, and Two Oceans Aquarium aren't too far from South African Astronomical Observatory.

Beautiful estate in Paarl. It actually has its own vineyards, and wine. Beautiful rooms. Would love to enjoy the hotel in summer. Their pool looks wonderful. Restaurant was superb. Perfect hotel to enjoy the ambience of the Western Cape

9.8/10 Exceptional! (19 reviews)
Truly gracious experience. Amenities that typically cost extra were included, such as wine, sodas and snacks in the room. The host accommodated a late checkout on our departure day so we had a place to rest up before our flight. A truly first rate, first class experience. We look forward to returning
