About Villa Exner

Villa Exner Exclusive Boutique Hotel is an owner family-run, hands-on operation.

Dedicated to the delivery of superior quality and service for the discerning traveller, we aim to provide only the best to make your stay at Villa Exner special and rejuvenating.

• A central base for your visit in the Cape Town region and prime location at the Elgin Valley. Surrounded by nature, all major activities and attractions are easily accessible.
• A relaxing, secure environment with lush gardens, swimming pool and lots of space to breathe for a maximum of privacy.
• At Villa Exner everything is individually decorated. Stylish, warm contemporary designs with finest materials and personally selected pieces of art will make you feel at home rather than at a hotel. Our guest rooms have been designed with attention to detail offering you many comforts for a most relaxing stay.
• We are proud to deliver excellent value for money.
• Our genuinely friendly, helpful and effective staff will go the extra mile for you with individual attention.

At Villa Exner we support and live social responsibility in many simple ways. We try, whenever possible, to source our purchases locally and train and employ local staff. We pay fair wages and comply with all legal requirements. Further we are actively involved in local and regional community projects to create opportunities for local employment and businesses. In time this will secure a stable and fair community, beneficial to its residents.

Among current projects and organisations we are involved in, is the Green Mountain Eco Route. By creating this world’s first biodiversity and wine route, visitors are exposed to a whole new experience of environmentally friendly and educational travel, helping to support conservation of this unique region which is home to the UNESCO protected and the world’s smallest Floral Kingdom with an enormous diversity of species. Through the opening of private lands for the purpose of guided tours, an increasing demand exists for local guiding, restaurants, accommodation, activities, arts & crafts, entertainment and much more.

At Villa Exner we subscribe to conservation principles and support local Conservatories. We help promoting the nature activities at our doorstep. Our business is operated in a way to reduce the usage of resources, to minimise waste and to recycle where possible. Our equipment is carefully selected for low energy and water consumptions and used responsibly.
