Nestled in the heart of Cape Town’s iconic Constantia Valley, Last Word Constantia is your serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to breathe.
Our nine beautiful rooms and suites are your private oasis, with luxurious linens, tranquil garden views, and thoughtful touches that make you feel right at home. At Last Word Constantia, we’ve got one simple mission: to make you feel like the only guest here, whether you’re relaxing by the pool or enjoying a delicious breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients. The Constantia Valley offers an experience steeped in history and heritage. As one of South Africa’s oldest wine regions, it’s home to some of the country’s most refined wine farms and top-notch restaurants. Here, the fine wine culture is as rich as the soil, with historic estates offering a glimpse into the past, while still producing some of the best wines in the world. And with a mild Mediterranean climate, the valley’s lush landscapes and proximity to the mountain ensure a refreshing escape all year round. Constantia is perfectly positioned as a base to explore the surround-ing areas of Cape Town.
With easy access to beaches, hiking trails, and the city itself, you can fit in adventure and relaxation, all while remaining close to the best local dining and wine experiences. It’s a quieter, more intimate alternative to the more tourist-heavy regions, where you can truly immerse yourself in the beauty of the valley, the culture, and, of course, the wine. No rush, just relaxation. So, kick back, unwind, and take in the beauty of this lovely place—this is Last Word Constantia.
