With 10 distinct rooms, a new restaurant and bar, two pool areas, a wellness room and ample gardens, the Robertson Small provides superlative service to our guests, maintaining the standards that make it Robertson's only five-star hotel. We are proud to be Robertson's only five-star accommodation and have been routinely named among South Africa's finest luxury country hotels.

We believe the small things make a big difference. The Small Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily with all bookings by appointment. Guests at the hotel needn't book for breakfast. Seating is both inside the Manor House and on the patio beside the hotel gardens. A classic menu with refined seasonal dishes elevates the best in local produce and is accompanied by choice wines from the valley.

Designer Sophie Ashby decorated each of the 10 rooms at The Small with the same principles in mind but each has its own character, with custom artworks and designs from an innovative list of collaborators to bring colour, warmth and soul to the building.I have used 12 different colour tones throughout the hotel and each room varies slightly in combination.

At The Robertson Small's tranquil poolside Wellness Rooms, we offer a selection of therapeutic skincare and body treatments, specialised massages, facials, pedicures and manicures.

Commence with a warm, aroma infused sugar scrub and then ease the pains of muscle spasms, arthritis, rheumatism and fatigue with a massage using a muscular aches and pains oil followed by the application of a circulatory boosting gel which leaves the body feeling refreshed and invigorated.
With The Robertson Small Hotel's ethos of supporting and celebrating contemporary art from South Africa, a partnership formed in 2021 with Art Gazette x Norval Foundation elevates this commitment to new heights. Our new collections are curated by talented South African artist, Morn Visagie, who is also the co-founder of Art Gazette, an alternative online art platform for curating collections of art.
In the 150 years since it was founded a lot has changed in Robertson but arguably just as much has not. There is decidedly less wagon building and ostrich feather faming these days, but this is still a small country town flanked by vast, imperious mountain ranges on the banks of the Breede River, decorated by Victorian and Edwardian architecture and streets lined with the purple-flowering Jacaranda trees.

We, 4 persons, had a meal at this hotel, which was great. The hotel offers accommodation with beautiful gardens and pools. Service and Waitrons were excellent and a good evening was had by all.

Amazing hotel with great service and beautiful garden. Dinner was very good. Only thing was the Pinot Noir was definitely too warm. It was served at room temperature which on the day was about 30°c. The cocktails were great as well as the massage services.

Impeccable service, amazing rooms, a small slice of heaven. A moderate drive from Cape Town and well worth the effort. We would gladly stay here again and recommend for couples.

We had lunch there yesterday (3rd September) and we enjoyed an exquisite meal that one would normally only expect in an upmarket establishment in Cape Town and environs. It was a very pleasing experience all round.

EVERYTHING, but everything was just perfect. The Hotel manager Walter, was outstanding and his service, welcome and knowledge was top class. Ellen in the dining room and bar was great and lovely to talk to, over and above her good service. The room was comfy, warm and cosy with a lovely view over the pool and into the beautiful gardens.
