Is the Babylonstoren for Me?

Situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands near Franschhoek, Babylonstoren is a historic working farm where contemporary comfort meets rustic charm. You are invited to stay in a choice of elegant cottages or the restored Manor House, all featuring characteristic whitewashed walls and gables. This expansive estate retains a personal feel, offering a curated Babylonstoren farm stay.

Inside, the suites offer a blend of modern simplicity and traditional farm life, complete with fireplaces and views of the surrounding orchards. For a more secluded retreat, you can stay at the Fynbos Cottages, which sit on the mountain slopes overlooking the vineyards. These spaces provide a sophisticated Cape Winelands accommodation experience that feels both grounded and private.

The heart of the Babylonstoren Farm is its eight-acre cultivated garden, which provides seasonal produce for the on-site restaurants and Farm Shop. You can spend your days wandering the botanical paths, relaxing by the pool, or visiting the garden-integrated spa for a wellness treatment. Babylonstoren ensures every meal is a celebration of the seasonal harvest.

As a premier choice for Cape Winelands luxury accommodation, the property offers a deep connection to the land and Cape Dutch heritage. It is a destination where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace, making it an ideal match for food enthusiasts, families, and couples seeking a high-quality Stellenbosch farm stay or Franschhoek hotel alternative.
