Escape to family-friendly luxury at Palm House

palm house

Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa launches a family special just in time for Heritage Day weekend and the year-end.

Looking for a family getaway that feels like a true escape while still being close to Cape Town’s best attractions?

Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa’s new family special is perfect for families looking for a luxurious escape between now and the start of the festive season. Running until December 19, the special offers 20% off bed and breakfast for your stay in any room type.

On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing iced tea and find a bottle of Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa wine waiting in your room. Choose from any of Palm House’ own-label Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, or a crisp, dry Rosé. 

These specially selected house wines are the perfect complement to a warm spring evening on the Palm House terrace or a quiet moment in the garden.

Children stay free in the family garden suites, and as part of Palm House’ considered approach, receive lucky packets on arrival and have access to in-room Netflix and a selection of board games.

Looking for an escape within your escape? 

For guests wanting to add wellness to their stay, the Açaí Spa and Wellness Oasis menu features treatments such as the indulgent Knesko Gold Ceremony massage and facial and the Rest and Restore journey, which includes a scrub experience, lymph drainage massage, and hand and foot treatment, with optional add-ons like hot stone therapy and Bellabaci cupping.

If you’re in the mood for a laid-back dining experience, Palm Terrace serves a seasonal menu that champions local producers, paired with a range of refreshing cocktails. 

For a more elevated occasion, the renowned De Tafel offers an intricate, thoughtfully composed dining journey, where wild and indigenous flavours pay homage to South Africa’s rich culinary heritage.

This special is perfect for the upcoming school holidays, or a relaxed long weekend family stay ahead of the busier festive season. So, book your getaway anytime between now and December 19. 

Perfectly located within easy reach of Table Mountain, Constantia, Camps Bay, and the City Bowl, Palm House offers a family-friendly retreat that combines understated, layered, luxury with thoughtful touches for all ages.

Bookings are now open online.

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
