A 12-suite winelands lodge tucked into a working olive grove just outside Stellenbosch. Slow mornings, long lunches, and walking distance to three of the Cape's best small producers. Anika and Jaco have hosted here for nine years; their team knows every fold of the valley. We share our passion for food and the area with guests.
