A place to celebrate the wonders of life
Discover old-world charm that invites you to curl up with a book in the summer house or in front of a roaring fire in winter….Set against the vineyard backdrop of heritage-rich Stellenbosch.

The elegant Sir Herbert Baker-style manor house is surrounded by 500 rose bushes, lavender fields and the tranquillity of rolling lawns extending to the dam with an eco-pool…feel what it’s like to swim in nature again.

The villa is designed for play, and pleasure with your family, hidden away in the heart of the picturesque Devon Valley wine region. Relax and enjoy the solitude of a journey’s end never to be forgotten.
