While the current structure that now constitutes the resort first appeared in 1817, it did not become known as the Erinvale Estate until Edward Strangman acquired the location some five decades later. Today, the Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa is one of South Africa’s most luxurious holiday destinations.
