The beautifully refurbished 19th-century Cape Dutch Manor House is the epitome of charm, elegance and style. The five-star luxury boutique hotel is the crown jewel of a working wine farm and boasts manicured gardens designed by famed landscape artist Franchesca Watson.

The Rooms
This manor house has 17 luxurious, individually styled rooms decorated in soothing natural mushroom tones including grey, chocolate and creams.
