A new era for a Paarl icon
A thoughtfully revived oasis in the heart of the town.
A place of refuge since 1792, Zomerlust is a newly refurbished 15-suite boutique hotel located in the heart of historical Paarl. Our beautiful property is leaning into a vibrant future while embracing its rich heritage as a place that has held memories for generations.
Enjoy fire food by award-winning Chef Kevin Grobler at SMEUL Restaurant, head to the lush gardens and pool for rest and restoration, and make meaningful connections in our private library and fully equipped meeting rooms.
