Boutique Hotel on Historic Estate

Nestled in the fertile Paarl valley at the foothills of the magnificent Klein Drakenstein Mountains, this historic estate, dating from 1698, welcomes you to an authentic old-world Cape Dutch lifestyle.     The entire region is renowned for its scenic beauty, flora and fauna, wine and fruit, gastronomic experiences, friendly hospitality, and historical heritage. Easy access to main roads and Cape Town.

The impressive manor house and hotel buildings have been fully restored and are peacefully set in  beautiful gardens with lush vegetation and large trees, attracting abundant bird life all around the yard 

The 4-star guest accommodation is some of the best in Paarl. The boutique hotel has 17 guest units consisting of apartments, cottages, suits and luxury rooms and offers a bar, a restaurant, entertainment areas and two swimming pools.  In addition to the manor house and the hotel accommodation, there is a manager’s cottage, a gatehouse with a guest reception area/office, garages, a store and a workshop. 

The property is fully fenced and has outstanding security with CCTV access control and surveillance. 

The hospitality enterprise generates the main income. The farm can be further developed with more orchards, vineyards, other plantations, horse facilities, a wedding-function venue, a health care centre, corporate real estate,  or private domain ...  Rarely a historic property with these opportunities is offered to the market.
