Dating from 1692, this stylish inn on a restored Cape Dutch farmstead is in the heart of the Cape Winelands between Franschhoek and Paarl. Six suites and seven one- and two-bedroom whitewashed cottages echo traditional architecture and are decorated in an appealing contemporary style. The nine Farmhouse Suites share an outdoor pool, a salt room and a sauna. This 500-acre working farm encompasses vineyards, orchards and a remarkable formal French kitchen garden. Dining options include Babel for farm-to-table cuisine that employs ingredients sourced from the property, The Bakery for three-course Italian dinners and a vintage conservatory serving light fare. There is also a recently expanded spa, gym and pool, and guided fishing trips and wine and olive oil tastings can be arranged.

Glorious setting on an authentic old farm estate.
