Golden tree lined walkways separate each building.

Farm Hotel: Open plan glass fronted dining area overlooking the gardens.

Bathroom with free-standing bath with simple yet luxurious features.

Look at the sky! For acres around the blue skies compliment the lush green vistas under Simonsberg Mountain.

Quite literally a green house, here you can enjoy light home made snacks. Everything that comes from the garden ends up at the Green House Café, seasonal salads and freshly baked cupcakes are a delight!

Here is the beautifully decorated Rosewater Cupcake!

I would strongly recommend a tour of their wonderful gardens. The garden keepers are knowledgeable and will make you fall in love with the place.

The shared outdoor pool is right next to the spa, so does make for some excellent relaxi-time.

Their Babel restaurant is only two years old and is already decorated with awards. A restored ‘werf’ it now has glass walls, a feature ceramic wall, Philippe Stack chairs and a mish-mash of cutlery. The food is always seasonal and mostly organic.

Old Dutch Houses dating back from the 17th & 18th Centuries have been wonderfully restored. Pleasantly cool in the summer, the ‘werf’ buildings including restaurants, suites, shop and restaurant.
