Ever wondered what really goes on behind the grand gates of Le Grand Jardin? Welcome to our blog where nothing is too small, quirky or sparkly to share! From last-minute wedding miracles to the community story behind the hand-printed African Sketchbook wallpaper or the design inspiration for our new fire pit, this blog is your backstage pass to the heart and soul of our Stellenbosch sanctuary.

This is where the magic really spills out – one surprise movie night under the stars or one impromptu garden party at a time. Expect charming anecdotes and real-life stories from the creators of Wonderland Escapes… art collectors, adventurers, dreamers, wine-lovers and eternal children at heart. Anyway, every historic villa worth its roses has at least one secret, doesn’t it?
