Neil Ellis Way of Flowers 2026: A Rosé Inspired by Wildflowers
Discover Neil Ellis Way of Flowers 2026, a dry Cinsaut rosé inspired by West Coast wildflowers and ikebana, with fresh summer food-pairing ideas.
A refurbishment of more than R18 million brings a renewed sense of calm to this garden hideaway in Strathavon.
Sandton may be known for its pace, but SEVEN Villa Hotel & Spa offers a different rhythm. Tucked into Strathavon on Helen Road, this garden retreat has completed a refurbishment of more than R18 million, according to The Capital Hotels, Apartments & Resorts.
The update extends across all 61 rooms and villas: 44 rooms and 17 villas, from Grand Luxe accommodation to the Presidential offering. The intention is a stay that feels composed, private and comfortably removed from the bustle beyond the gates.
The setting is central to SEVEN Villa’s appeal. Green spaces, sculpture, art and water features create a quieter backdrop, while private gardens add to the sense of retreat. It is a Sandton address with room to slow down.
The refurbishment brings renewed attention to the accommodation while keeping that garden atmosphere at the heart of the experience. For a city break, a work trip with breathing space or a special occasion, the attraction is as much about the mood as the location.
"Composure is the new premium"
Marc Wachsberger, Founder and CEO, The Capital Hotels, Apartments & Resorts
Textures restaurant offers indoor and outdoor dining, with private dining also available. The hotel lists its restaurant hours as 06:30 to 22:30. Poison Ivy lounge adds another setting for an evening drink, while Spa by Camelot provides a dedicated place to unwind.
Selected villa experiences include Jacuzzi Villas. The hotel is pet-friendly and also accommodates conferences, events and weddings, making it relevant to both leisure guests and visitors planning a business occasion.
For anyone blending work and a short escape, that combination is useful: meeting space when you need it, followed by a quieter garden setting once the day is done.



Confirm room or villa inclusions, spa appointments, pet arrangements and dining availability directly with the hotel before booking. The supplied information lists 24-hour room service from Tuesday to Saturday; check the service available on your travel dates.

#HelloRecommends: Leave time in the itinerary to enjoy the setting itself. A garden breakfast or a spa appointment can make a city stay feel like a proper pause.
