Experience the eternal, enduring beauty of our precious, tranquil corner of Stellenbosch. For millennia, sea breezes have cooled the ancient soils, speckled with marine fossils and minerals. For eons the land has provided a haven for wildlife and for wanderers. And more recently (for the past almost 330 years) it has become a thriving hive of farming, and luxury hospitality.
Imagine your wedding on one of South Africa’s oldest working farms, nestled between the spectacular Helderberg Mountains and the False Bay coast. Our finely restored 18th century Cape Dutch heritage building complex is a National Monument. We are also a member of the prestige European Heritage Project, an international portfolio of hand-picked historic luxury estates.
*We are just 22 km from Cape Town International Airport, under 40 km from the V&A Waterfront, 17 km from the town of Stellenbosch, 14 km from the centre of Somerset West, and less than 90 km from the celebrated seaside town of Hermanus.
Celebrate and record your event against the backdrop of classical Cape Dutch architecture, heritage gardens, acclaimed sculptures, exquisite vineyards and mountainscapes.
We have our own uninterrupted power supply.
