Babylonstoren

Our jaws dropped when we arrived and roamed around the extensive beautiful gardens with a gin tonic in hand while we waited for our rooms. It felt like the garden of Eden. Absolute paradise! My mum honestly had tears in her eyes as we were shown our room. The room was so delightfully furnished - all in African/Dutch cottage chique theme - flowers, fruit and wine bottles for our consumption everywhere! Such attention to detail by even popping in a hot water bottle inside the bed at turn down service! Just fantastic service. The activities included on the farm where also extreemly interesting (the garden walk in particular) and we really felt that the staff were not rushed and took extra time to spend with us to answer questions etc... We asked if one evening we could have a sunset picnic and like magic they arranged it all for us and even set it up. Talk about royal treatment! It was definitely a highlight. Delicious food and wine with a stunning setting in nature. Exquisite grounds, infrastructure and produce!

"Babylstoren is out-of-control beautiful - we sacrificed wine tasting elsewhere just to hang out there (could have stayed a third night easily - it truly made us slow down and take it all in). The food was crazy as it was mostly grown there."

"Babylonstoren was amazing and we loved everything about it and every minute we spent there. The surrounds, the accommodation and the food was incredible. We will definitely be back."

"Babylonstoren was amazing – the accommodation was clean and beautiful, the location was great and overall it was very hard to fault at all!"

"I have not stayed anywhere like Babylonstoren before. The rooms, food and attention to detail was incredible - everything had been thought of, but in a very understated way."

Babylonstoren was a real highlight for us. Elke thought it was akin to the Alhambra in Spain (but better maintained). It is such a unique place with the vineyard, orchards and animals. As we wandered around I had a real sense of the generations of wo rk and commitment to get it to its current state. The accommodation was so comfortable and the staff were a complete delight. And I had a transportational massage! All in all, an unforgettable place. Thanks so much for everything. We had a great time.

"We loooooooooved Babylonstoren. Can’t rave enough about Babylonstoren. We loved our two-bedroom cottage. Very comfortable and loved the food. No complaints whatsoever."

"What can I say, divine in every sense of the word and we were sad to not have 3 nights here. We were seriously impressed! If we ever come back to SA this is the first stop on our list and I have not stopped telling people about it."

"Everything on our trip was fantastic. The transfers and hotels were top-notch and trouble free. We loved the Babylonstoren property as pe ust a shame we had so little time to spend there."

"Our last 4 nights at Babylonstoren were memorable."

Babylonstoren - well, what can I say... we didn't want to leave. It was perfect. I really can't think of anything they could have done better. Food delicious, wine too, very cosy cottage with everything you might need. Comfiest hotel beds ever. T he staff were attentive but not overbearing. The gardens are beautiful. There has obviously been a great deal of attention paid to detail there, and it shows. We definitely want to go back. A wonderfully relaxing place.

"Another super recommendation. Excellent family accommodation and different, interesting things to do like the Garden and Pizza evening with wine. Food was great local produce."
