הזמן את זה אם You want a quiet, self-catering base in the Winelands where you can braai on your own balcony and skip the hotel breakfast buffet.
למה אנשים אוהבים את זה
- Peaceful country setting at the foot of Stellenbosch Mountain
- Private balconies with personal braai (BBQ) facilities
- Thoughtful touches like Nespresso machines and fresh milk
סיכום מהיר: A charming, garden-wrapped hideaway that feels like staying at your aunt's country estate—complete with the occasional barking dog and strict check-in times.
סקור על ידי @hulindlovu: I felt like royalty staying in this historic manor. The interiors are moody and gorgeous—especially that copper tub! Spending the afternoon tasting wines under the giant trees was the perfect reset. It’s quiet, luxurious, and totally worth it for a romantic escape.

טיפים פנימיים
- ✨
The 'Birds Nest' units have the best braai (BBQ) setup—buy wood/charcoal at the nearby petrol station.
- ✨
You are walking distance (carefully) or a 2-minute drive from the Blaauwklippen Family Market (weekends).
- ✨
Use the 'special request' box to ask for a unit with a renovated bathroom, as some are more modern than others.
5 דברים שכדאי לדעת לפני שתצא
💡The owner's dogs are a fixture—they will likely greet you, which is a pro or con depending on you.
💡There is no reception desk; you often find your key hanging on the door or get instructions via WhatsApp.
💡The 'River' mentioned in some old marketing is more of a stream at the bottom of the garden.
💡It's located on Blaauwklippen Road, which can get busy with wine farm traffic on weekends.
💡The 'Manor House' rooms share a courtyard, meaning your neighbors might be right outside your window.
