Live the grand life in the picturesque Cape Winelands, care of your own luxury vacation villa. Designed for discerning families and groups of friends, this exclusive-use 4-bedroom villa is booked in its entirety and offers home-from-home living at the heart of the historic Stellenbosch wine district.

Just an hour’s drive from Cape Town, Le Jardin (‘The Garden’) is a handsome, whitewashed Cape Dutch-style villa split over two floors. Surrounded by rolling lawns, fragrant lavender fields and beds of roses, it has an air of traditional sophistication and style. There are three en suite bedrooms in the main building and a separate detached suite, ideal for older teenagers or grandparents of families travelling together. You will find plenty of space and comfort both inside and outside the villa, and the property is especially recommended for families with children, thanks to the wide range of facilities and activities available on site, let alone in the rest of the Cape Winelands.

Depending on your mood, swim in the pool, hit the sauna or relax in the Jacuzzi. There is a dedicated games and television room as well as Wi-Fi connectivity. If you are feeling energetic, head out onto the dam to paddle about in the rowboat.

Le Jardin has been designed for independent-minded, self-catering travellers thanks to its fully equipped kitchen but it is also serviced every day and there is a house manager to help with any inquiries. Set a short drive away from the centre of Stellenbosch, this private accommodation is within easy reach of many fine restaurants and wine estates; it is also close to hiking trails, golf courses, wellness spas and mountain-bike tracks.
