A red-and-yellow scheme brings vibrant Indian decor to life. Large Indian paintings and crystal wall sconces make it all the more lush. A built-in bed incorporates a padded headboard made from antique fabric. The room boasts two balconies – one overlooking the lawns and pond, the other facing an olive grove and the mountains. The Maharani Suite is a personal favorite of Elton John. All the superior suites are the same in size; however, each room is individually decorated. Indulge your body and senses with an array of pampering treatments, in the tranquil, air-conditioned double treatment room or in the privacy of your own suite or balcony. There is no finer indulgence to round off a day exploring the Winelands than a full-body massage. When the weather is good, massages and other spa treatments can also be enjoyed outside, in the Tea House overlooking the dam. Signature treatments: Swedish Massage, to relax muscles and stimulate circulation; the tension-releasing Deep Tissue Massage, to ease stiffness; the Pinotage Body Polish, inspired by the natural benefits of the uniquely South African Pinotage grape Executive chef Lennard Marais oversees the dining experience at La Residence.
