Arriving at Villa Exner is one of those “wow moments”: Welcomed with a glass of “Champagne” you are invited to discover this stunning retreat. Experience all those indulging touches and the intimate, personal service that only a small boutique hotel can offer. The intimate on site fine dining restaurant creates gourmet cuisine in a delightful fusion of local and international trends. Villa Exner provides the space to relax and rejuvenate; rolling lawns, a decadent open garden offering privacy and interactive places where you can sit and chat in a laid-back atmosphere, make new friends and enjoy life in a modern country style. Villa Exner is based in the heart of Elgin Grabouw, only an hour from Cape Town. Surrounded by pure nature with the two bordering Nature Reserves, the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom, as well as the Winelands and Hermanus at the doorstep, there are a million things to do. Hiking, birding, mountain biking, 4x4 off road trails & tours, quad biking, golf, tennis, paragliding over the stunning False Bay, scuba diving along the coast, to name a few. One of only two South African water-skiing schools, with the most beautiful setting, is also close by. The guided horse rides through vineyards or along the beaches of Kleinmond are very special ways to explore the area.
Visiting the boutique wineries along the local Green Mountain Eco Route and chatting to some of the eccentric wine makers while tasting their excellent cool-climate wines, will make you feel the genuine friendly hospitality of the region. In summer you'll enjoy great concerts at the outdoor amphitheatre in the unique natural setting of a towering eucalyptus forest. Relaxing massages and hot stone treatments can be booked for you in-house.

Day trips include Game safaris and the Cape's highlights such as Gordon's Bays beaches, Table Mountain, Cape Point, The Cape Floral Kingdom or the little Overberg towns and the famous Whale Coast.

We are happy to arrange those and many more experiences for you and look forward to welcome you soon!
