About Zomerlust Boutique Hotel & Restaurant

Finest quality & service

Zomerlust Boutique Hotel, established in 1856, is a gem of old-world charm with warm hospitality the Cape Winelands are known for. Situated in the heart of Paarl.

The ambiance created is finely attuned to French Huguenot and Cape Dutch roots with the easy comfort of English country estate living.

Zomerlust Boutique Hotel offers 14 luxury en suite rooms, 10 in the Manor house and 4 in the old stables – “Die Stal”. All rooms have brandy names, due to the manor and estate’s close history with the Paarl Rock Brandy Cellar. In the ladies bar, “Die Kraan”, guests can still enjoy these Brandy’s.


The breakfast room, “Die Agterstoep” overlooks the beautiful gardens and Lilly Pond and here guests are treated to a delicious breakfast. We offer a a-la-carte menu at Zomerlust Restaurant, where in summer we dine under the stars and in winter we snuggle to the log fire.   

Guests are welcome to wander around in the beautiful gardens, do some bird watching or take a dive in the pool on warm days
