South Africa, Somerset West, 7130
Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is steeped in history, but the natural evolution that gradually transformed it from a modest Cape Dutch-style farmstead dating back to the 1700s into the elegant four-star boutique hotel of today has preserved the rich heritage of this property. Guests driving onto the grounds immediately notice the majestic, towering oaks that have silently stood their ground for generations.
The Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa was established in November 1994. David Gant, from the neighbouring Lourensford Estate, decided to develop the Erinvale property into a golfing residential estate. The land where the hotel stands was sold separately to Peter Baragwanath, who subsequently developed the existing building into the hotel.
The hotel opened its doors on 1 May 1995. It has always been privately owned and was bought by Xavier McAuliffe, an Irishman who purchased the hotel from Mr Baragwanath in June 1999. The hotel was sold by Mr McAuliffe to Louis Group Hotels, Spas & Vineyards in November 2007.
