No dogs allowed as our
own farm dogs, Spunky and Gamay,
are not friendly towards
other dogs.

No parties allowed –
this place is a sanctuary
and we would like to
keep it that way.

The house is located on a working farm, so there will be activity during the day, especially during harvest. The tasting room is next door which has its perks 😉

BREAKFAST AND DINNER OPTIONS:

Breakfast basics are included with a fresh bread, eggs and farm butter so you can get your day started without worries! However, we also provide a leisurely breakfast option, and excellent pies and pizza should you not want to braai at night.
