Pontac Manor Hotel & Restaurant is a celebrated establishment in the historic town of Paarl, at the heart of the Cape Winelands, close to Cape Town. Surrounded by majestic oak trees and manicured gardens, the hotel has been restored to its former Victorian elegance and welcomes guests from around the globe.
Original historic features in architecture and furnishing reflect an era of gracious living. Here, in a luxurious and yet homely atmosphere, first-class service and modern convenience blend with traditional style and genteel hospitality.
A special feature of Pontac Manor Hotel & Restaurant is the beautifully laid out gardens. The front of the manor is flanked by majestic oak trees, the veranda looks down onto a manicured rose garden in Victorian style and a classic water feature.
Quiet seating areas are dotted in various locations in the gardens: here guests can relax with a book or newspaper, enjoy a peaceful moment of contemplation or a cosy chat, or order beverages to be served in the gardens.
On the expansive Victorian Veranda, guests can sip sun-downers whilst savouring the magnificent view to the mountains beyond or enjoying the tranquility of the gardens where the squirrels hop amongst the oaks.
On warm summer days, enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool or bask by the poolside on a reclining lounger. Snacks, light meals and beverages are served throughout the day and garden or pool service is readily available upon request.
Restaurant
The award-winning "Restaurant at Pontac" is located in the beautifully restored old barn of this historic estate. The setting on the slopes of Paarl Rock is exceptional.
