About the hotel
Babylonstoren is a historic wine estate, one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms in the Cape Winelands. With its abundant fruit and vegetable gardens, vineyards, feathered farm residents and wild birdlife, Babylonstoren is a little paradise where visitors can slip away from everyday life for a while. Alongside all this idyll, you will also find luxury and comfort here. With 22 unique accommodations blending modern comfort with historic charm, the hotel promises an unforgettable stay. A spa with whirlpool and hammam completes the sense of relaxation. Its idyllic setting and exceptional gastronomy make Babylonstoren a truly special experience.
Kids & Teens
Babylonstoren is a paradise for children! Chasing after honking geese, petting donkeys, playing hide-and-seek in the vegetable garden, rowing across the lake, exploring the area by bicycle and then jumping into the pool - what more could young explorers wish for? The farm actively encourages children to explore every corner of the property and even help with feeding the donkeys, for example.
Experiences & Activities
At Babylonstoren, you can do everything or nothing at all, exactly as you wish - from the sweet art of doing nothing to helicopter flights over the region. Indulge in wellness treatments, join guided farm tours and learn more about olive oil production. Wine tastings and cooking classes hold a particular allure, inviting you into the world of Cape cuisine. Set out on day trips and, in the evening, gather in one of the three restaurants for honest yet delicious fare.

in our eyes
Babylonstoren is an ideal place for families, offering children an exciting connection to nature. The expansive gardens invite young explorers to pick fresh fruit and vegetables themselves, while interactive experiences such as bread baking or feeding the animals create special moments. Meanwhile, parents can indulge in private wine tastings or bespoke menus. With plenty of space to play and a level of service that attends to every detail, Babylonstoren is a paradise for families seeking rest and shared moments in nature.
Best time to travel
The best time to visit the Cape Winelands is from September to April. During these months, temperatures are warm and the vineyards are in full leaf. October to March, during the grape harvest, is especially rewarding for visitors, as many estates offer tours, tastings and events.
In spring and summer, the days are long and well suited to sightseeing and outdoor activities. Early autumn brings a quieter atmosphere as the high season gradually begins to ease. Overall, these months are ideal for experiencing the region’s blend of nature, winemaking and local gastronomy.
