This idyllic Cape Dutch farmhouse may be an authentic 17th-century estate on first glance, but step through the gates and discover a place which has since transformed itself into a contemporary home-away-from-home. Although still a working farm at heart – a simple approach to luxury now courses through the veins at Babylonstoren. With 33 rooms spread out across a collection of suites and cottages and tucked away in the original Manor House, guests can fully immerse themselves into this serene oasis for the ultimate city getaway.<\/p>\n
In a hidden spot on the Cape Winelands, Babylonstoren is disguised amongst the surrounding sandstone mountains. Although the international airport is a mere 45-minute drive away, and vibrant Cape Town only an hour away, you\u2019ll feel worlds away from real life when you\u2019re surrounded by the hotel\u2019s expansive gardens and vineyards.<\/p>\n
Stepping into your own luxury farmhouse cottage at Babylonstoren, you can expect to find a refreshingly simple elegance. A white colour palette dominates, leaving the gardens to shine in vibrant colour just outside your window. Curl up beside the fireplace, slip into the deep sinking bathtub or spend a balmy evening dining al-fresco on your private terrace, with produce delivered in a crate fresh from the farm, admiring the stunning panorama.<\/p>\n
Beyond its spellbinding gardens, Babylonstoren’s real standout moment is its dining. Ask any local you can find where the best place to eat is around here – and they will surely answer Babel. Much like the rest of Babylonstoren, the menu is a testament to the luxury of simplicity. Shining a spotlight on seasonal, hand-grown produce, the flavors here burst across your palette. Not only at Babel too, but in the Greenhouse and in the Bakery. For a special touch, we recommend getting some friends together for a meal in the Spice Garden where aromatic fragrances reminiscent of the Spice Trade hang in the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
