The restaurant

The restaurant is located in the 150 year old manor house and meals are served either on the vine-covered veranda overlooking a tranquil lawn or in the dining room with its gallery of canvases by world famous local artists Paul Emsley, Cecil Skotnes and Larry Scully.  During colder weather guests can enjoy the warmth and comfort of a roaring fireplace.

The cuisine can be described as creative and natural with French Provencal roots. The ingredients are always fresh, sourced from home-grown organic vegetables, fruits and herbs, as well as free-range farm eggs and milk. Other organic products are locally sourced, such as duck breast, venison, and salmon trout.

The Restaurant may be closed for a few weeks in the winter season, so please enquire if the restaurant is open when booking between June - August. Please note that advance booking of Lunch and Dinner reservations are essential. The restaurant is open exclusively to our guests for Breakfast throughout the year.

The guest rooms

The accommodation has 16 en-suite guesthouse rooms all with terraces. The guestrooms are situated between the vineyards, with majestic views of Stellenbosch and Simonsberg mountains, as well as the Table Mountain in the distance, providing an environment of beauty and tranquillity.  The rooms are decorated in a European style with a South African touch.

The guestshouse's environmental and health-conscious approach to life ensures clean air and pure water. No poisons are sprayed, while water is sourced from an underground stream and enhanced by a water catalyser imported from Plocher, Germany. Noise pollution/ electrosmog (ELF) is lessened by the absence of television sets and air-conditioning systems.
