DECEMBER 2023: Situated in the heart of the Cape winelands, Steenberg Farm is not only
surrounded by some of the most spectacular vistas in South Africa, but it’s also the definitive holiday destination where culinary experiences, luxury accommodation, and leisurely activities come together to be celebrated in one place. With summer in full swing, and the festive season officially upon us, experience joyous and merry moments at Steenberg.
A visit at Bistro Sixteen82 and Tryn, Steenberg’s two acclaimed 5-star restaurants, promises an unforgettable and vibrant dining experience. Headed by Executive Chef Kerry Kilpin, the summer menus echo the Cape region through locally sourced produce and fresh fish caught by the Abalobi initiative. At Bistro Sixteen82 experience finely crafted dishes like the ‘Pickled Mille Feuille’ with rich crème fraîche and coriander mousse, a delicate soy syrup and creamy avocado pulp; while at Tryn there are creations like the ‘Strawberry Cloud’ which comes to life with decadent strawberry bavarois, fragrant orange and thyme cremeux and smooth mango sorbet. After enjoying these inspired summer menus, guests can make their way to Steenberg Vineyards, where a curated wine
tasting awaits in the ambient Wine Tasting Bar, Tasting Lounge or the sunlit Outdoor Terrace. And for those looking to spend the night, the sensory experiences extend beyond the restaurants and wine tasting.
Steenberg’s Hotel is home to 24 rooms, including three luxury suites, as well as two private villas that each have their own exclusive pool and entertainment area. The Hotel is surrounded by sprawling vineyards, majestic mountains, and the pristine Silvermine Nature Reserve beyond. Inside, every interior detail is beautifully appointed; and with two summer packages – the 5 Lives Package and the Art Inspired Package – guests can unwind in complete comfort. A stay at the Hotel also offers guests exclusive access to the tranquil pool area, where the cool cascading waters and the sounds of nature
whisk away every care in the world. Here, guests will discover the newly designed mobile bar – tiled in a beautiful motif – where Steenberg’s MMCs and Tryn’s bespoke cocktail menu are served poolside. Nearby, relaxation is completely redefined with a visit to the acclaimed Spa. Experience specialised treatments using premium products, now featuring renowned brands such as Ila and Margaret Dabbs.
Massages are also available in the lush Scented Garden and the newly-unveiled, exquisite Secret Garden. These deeply rejuvenating sessions are surrounded by flowers, foliage, and the melodic sound of indigenous birds. Complete your spa visit with a stylish shopping experience, showcasing an impressive collection of Kat van Duinen clothing and accessories available for purchase
For those seeking a sense of adventure, the farm can be explored through the designated walking route, or with bicycles available at the Hotel. Guests also have access to the neighbouring 18-hole championship Steenberg Golf Club, where a round on the greens completes the day.
