One of the most unique locations in the Winelands offering incredible views, a serene environment and the perfect location between both Stellenbosch and Franschhoek from which to explore both towns. Their staff are hugely accommodating and will undertake every effort to make your stay memorable. Would definitely recommend this magnificent guesthouse for guests expecting an extraordinary breakaway.
