When considering that bold venture into the hospitality industry – whether it be as a passive investor or as an entirely new course of vocational direction – there are a number of facets to consider. What speaks to you of this property that so determinedly catches your eye? What are its attributes, its characteristics, its intricacies and indeed its tributaries towards triumph?

In the case of The 4 Star Tulbagh Boutique Heritage Hotel, its eminence in its existence is the embodiment of the history of the town. Its legacy, lauded by the locals and all those that visit. Its original 1800’s architectural limbs, that have been ardently nurtured and restored over the centuries. Parlaying a humble home, settled beside the ancient oaks of Tulbagh, into a venerable hotel. A meeting point for the residents, to dine at, to celebrate milestone occasions, to retreat to for any given reason, and to foster their own patriotism to the town and its heritage. And most importantly, a place for visitors to escape to. As they explore the magnificent surroundings of the fourth oldest town in South Africa. A place of inimitable charm and luxury from which to pivot. As they traverse the abounding nature trails, sample some of the finest vintages from award-winning wine estates, and tap into the culture of this enchanting mountainous hamlet.

By becoming a custodian of this lovely piece of legacy, you’ll have proprietorship of two historical homesteads that house the hotel. Comprising of ten ensuite bedrooms that are refined in their fittings and furnishings, unique and soothing in their design and delightfully luxurious in size. A popular restaurant that serves seasonal dishes – all sourced locally from the farmers, the butchers, the bakers, and the artisanal condiment makers. A conference room and a spa, a swimming pool and a bar. An additional property is also included in the sale that the existing owner leases out as pharmacy. Should you be considering an increase in bed count, there are an additional two heritage properties adjacent from the Hotel that can accommodate a further eight ensuite bedrooms. Food for thought.

The existing establishment has been voted as the friendliest hotel in South Africa. One lifelong attribute that has been stitched into the character of this magnificent place in Tulbagh, that you can be certain of its fundamental tributary, flowing in the direction of triumph, is the team of staff. A fully-functioning, seamlessly sailing ship, factoring in the high occupancy with acute attention to detail on every guests’ requirement. The level of service that’s received in the luxuriously, laidback ambience of the hotel is impeccable. It’s familiar, comforting and discreet all at once. Have a read of some of the reviews. An operating system that is so deeply embedded into every daily practice that allows the future owner to simply pick up the baton, and hit the proverbial ground running.

The grounds of The Tulbagh Boutique Heritage Hotel are pacifying and invigorating, simultaneously. An age-old presence that’s palpable in all of the communal spaces and secluded reclining rooms. Whether guests are enjoying the tranquility of the pool area or the beautiful views from the upstairs deck where one can see the verdant mountain tops in summer, becoming snow-capped in winter. An evening gathered around the indoor fireplaces playing boardgames. Or dining in the Olive Terrace Bistro, and Karee Wine & Tapas Bar.

Perhaps, if you opt for being that passive investor, you’ll end up behaving like some of the local farmers do. Feigning that their wifi on their own property is down. Simply so that they can sit in one of the relaxing areas of the hotel, enjoying a delicious breakfast or afternoon snack, a sip of something or two…tending to some work. Absorbing the essence of this majestic hotel. Its heritage, its wonderful staff and their smiles, and the sublime comfort that comes with the character of Tulbagh’s community.
