High-end, boutique accommodation, world-class wine, and food in the culinary heart of the Cape Winelands high up on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain. “Luxuriously at one with nature,” Angala is positioned high up on the slopes of the majestic Simonsberg mountain range, boasting panoramic vistas of countryside and vineyard. The sanctuary of Angala’s lush gardens and prolific birdlife creates a magical space where you can truly unwind, rest, and recharge. Our ten unique ensuite rooms and two private cottages offer understated luxury and comfort complete with outdoor showers for the summer and roaring fireplaces for the Cape’s romantic winter season. Wine tasting at nearby Vrede en Lust, complimentary mini-bar including glasses of locally produced methôde cap classique on arrival are only a few special complimentary touches that you can expect during your sojourn.

Time is the currency of life. We have about 2.5 billion heartbeats with which to savour our lives, and stopping the relentless march of activity to slip into the sweet space of absolute rest is necessary medicine. While we can’t all become urban monks, we can take a few days to snap out of the trance of perpetual motion. Almost anything will work again if you unplug it for a while – including you. Your version of unplugging could look like taking a few sacred moments to stretch, nap, read a book or make love. My favourite way to take my foot off the accelerator and pull over for a bit of a breather is to escape the madding crowd for a few days of yoga and downtime in a balmy natural setting.
