About this place
An authentic farm hideaway, set against the slopes of the Paardeberg mountain, only 1 hour's drive (75km) from Cape Town. Close enough to get to, yet a perfect place to get away from it all. A humble, rural retreat where you can quickly sweep away the stress of city living and enjoy wide open spaces and fresh air amid the vines on our working, family owned wine farm. Explore the vineyards, swim in the dams and expect the most spectacular sunsets and stunning Swartland views.

About Swartland
The Swartland is Cape Town's emerging wine frontier, a rolling landscape of wheat fields and innovative wine farms north of the city. This "black land" (named for the indigenous renosterbos) produces bold, distinctive wines from old bush vines. The region's farm-to-table restaurants, Saturday markets, and unpretentious wine tasting experiences attract discerning visitors seeking authenticity.
