Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa sits among beautifully landscaped gardens in Somerset West, with grand old oak trees shading the original homestead and a sense of unhurried elegance throughout. The 56 en-suite bedrooms are tastefully decorated, and the outdoor pool offers a calm retreat after a day on the course. With Table Mountain and the Cape Winelands close at hand, the setting alone makes this one of the most appealing bases for a golf holiday in South Africa near Cape Town.
The Seventeen07 restaurant has earned a strong reputation in the area for its quality and character, whilst the Skelligs Pub — with its Irish-inspired atmosphere — provides a convivial spot to relive the day’s round. Both are firm favourites with guests, and the combination gives the property a warmth that larger resort hotels can rarely match.
The headline draw is the Gary Player-designed Erinvale Golf Course, right on the hotel’s doorstep — one of the finest layouts in the Western Cape. For golfers looking at a Somerset West golf break or a broader South African golf tour, having a course of this calibre on site removes all guesswork about where to begin. Tailor-made itineraries combining Erinvale with further afield courses can be arranged through Golf Planet Holidays.
