The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa

A Cape Dutch manor that's been around forever, the Alphen sits on 11.5 acres in Constantia and holds a National Monument designation to prove its age is no act. It's a 19-suite boutique hotel, rooms done in white with vivid accent colors and period antiques, plus a spa, three dining venues, and the oldest surviving mill on the Cape Peninsula still standing quietly on the grounds.
