The Cellars-Hohenort dates as far back as the 17th century, when it used to be a farm owned by the Dutch East India Company. After changing many owners, at the beginning of the 20th century the wine cellar was created and the building started taking a shape closer to that of today's, as it operated as a country guesthouse. In 1991, when Liz McGrath took ownership of the building, renovations began in order for it to be turned into the charming hotel that it is today.
