What people say
The Liz McGrath Collection is a group of three stunning hotels that exemplify South African hospitality. Each hotel is a 5-star, Small Luxury Hotels of the World member and boasts a unique location, mesmerizing history, splendid design, and amenities and services that are second to none. The Cellars-Hohenort in Cape Town's leafy Constantia Valley is home to the award-winning Greenhouse restaurant, which is consistently ranked as one of South Africa's top 10 restaurants. The Marine in Hermanus offers spectacular seaside views and the perfect whale watching vantage point from the comfort of sea view bedrooms. Completing the triumvirate, The Plettenberg presents the ultimate Garden Route destination with its rocky headland location in Plettenberg Bay.
What sets The Liz McGrath Collection apart is the inimitable style of its iconic creator, the late Liz McGrath. A self-taught, natural hotelier, Mrs M built her collection based on her great passions: décor, food and gardening. As a result, her properties feature individually designed sophisticated interiors, luxurious accommodations with world-class cuisine and award-winning gardens - pillars of what makes this collection so special.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or an unforgettable family vacation experience, The Liz McGrath Collection has something for everyone. With exceptional locations and unparalleled service standards across all three properties, it's no wonder why this collection continues to be one of South Africa's most sought-after destinations for discerning travelers.
