Property

Experience the sprawling grounds of the farm during your stay, where every corner unveils magnificent vistas. Embrace the relaxed farm lifestyle by indulging in activities such as picking plums from the orchards, wandering through the vineyards, or simply reclining on the lush grass while listening to the gentle hum of the tractor. For dining options, choose from the Rhone Homestead restaurant, offering traditional South African cuisine served on grand tables, or the elegant Werf Restaurant. For a more casual meal, opt for a picnic basket or selections from the deli.

Rooms

Discover elegantly restored old farm labourer’s cottages on the estate, transformed into colorful and stylish retreats with a hint of Cape Dutch charm. The Orchard Cottages, located across the road, offer a tranquil atmosphere with a shared swimming pool and gardens. Meanwhile, the Werf Cottages on the main estate boast breathtaking mountain views. Families may opt for the spacious two-bedroomed Clarence Cottage, while those seeking privacy can retreat to Trout Cottage. The pièce de résistance is Rhodes Cottage, once the bolthole of Cecil John Rhodes and now a stunning 'country-house cottage' equipped with modern amenities. Additionally, The Retreat offers several modern style cottages.

Activities

As overnight guests, explore the estate's hiking trails exclusively and immerse yourself in the enchanting surroundings.
