Enchantingly Intimate and Romantic
Amuse-Bouche Food & Wine boasts an exquisite menu, paired with our Diamond Award Winning wine list. Dining at the Fairlawns is designed to be elegantly smart casual. The candlelit tables and soft music give an enchantingly intimate and romantic atmosphere to the Italian influenced décor of the terrace restaurant.
The Drawing Room
We are thrilled to unveil our latest addition to the hotel's charm – the Drawing Room, a reimagined space where creativity comes to life and transformed into an artistic haven. The Drawing Room, a name derived from the 16th century, means a room in a house where visitors may be entertained. This room offers a unique showcase of South Africa's burgeoning young talent. Renowned art curator Tyron Selmon, of Art Eye, will select and present a collection of art pieces, available for both admiration and acquisition. Book a private dinner amidst captivating artworks where beautiful stories unfold.
Tea in the Woods
The tea in the Woods theme is emphasized by specially designed wallpaper featuring a Birchwood forest which also ties in with our gorgeous gardens and rolling lawns visible to guests enjoying their tea journey. The tranquil sound of water falling in the fountain outside Into the Woods adds to a very relaxing atmosphere. Our morning and afternoon tea journeys add a much needed sweetness to life. They inject a little lavishness into the routine of things.
Muse Champagne Room
Creating an atmosphere for indulgence and revelry in the heart of Fairlawns, the Muse Champagne Room is a luxurious and intimate space that’s perfect for drinks for two or a small party.
Choose from a selection of prestige champagnes, local sparkling varieties, fine wines and rare spirits.
The adjoining Courtyard set in secluded gardens is the perfect place for late afternoon sundowners. You can listen to the birdsong of the garden while experiencing an African sunset.
Seven Colours
If you’re looking to impress your guests, Fairlawns Boutique Hotel and Spa’s Seven Colours private dining room is the perfect venue. In the summer months, the windows and French doors can be opened for a fabulous view of the lush gardens and pool. The Seven Colours private dining room can be reserved for special occasions and intimate dinner parties for up to 10 guests. For an unparalleled experience, the private dining room is the ideal venue to make wonderful memories in a colourful setting.
