Gardeners, nature-lovers, wine-o’s, and families: if you haven’t heard of Babylonstoren , South Africa’s little slice of bio-abundant paradise, then allow me to transport you to a place where relaxation and adventure coexist...
🌞 The Setting: Lush vineyards, mountains, and a red clay landscape frames the historic Dutch farm estate, just 40 a minutes’ drive from Cape Town.
🌾 The Garden: Spanning eight acres, Babylonstoren’s garden is the heart of the estate, featuring a rich tapestry of fruits, vegetables, and indigenous plants. Guests are encouraged to participate in guided walks and experience true farm-to-fork dining with ingredients harvested daily.
🛶 The Activities: From hands-on farm experiences to canoeing on the dam, drives through the mountains, and olive oil workshops, you can spend a week here and always find something new to do. The best part? All activities are included in the nightly rate.
🍇 The Vineyards: Home to some of South Africa’s finest grapes, Babylonstoren’s vineyards produce award-winning wines. Guests that visit in harvest season can experience the estate’s full winemaking process, and do a little grape stomping of their own!
🛁 The Accommodations: Designed to reflect the farm’s rich heritage, Babylonstoren’s accommodations range from charming cottages to contemporary suites, all blending rustic elegance with modern comforts. Private fireplaces, farm-fresh breakfasts, and sweeping views ensure a cozy and rejuvenating stay.
I met with the team at Babylonstoren last week, and if their enthusiasm for the estate says anything about the guest experience, then my clients are in for a serious treat!
Interested in pairing this with a greater South African journey? I’d love to help!
