    knowledgeable guide
    amazing views

    Couples looking for a unique experience

    We had this amazing drive through the estate with a guy named Kobus, who shared his deep knowledge of the area. The views were fine, and we made a real connection with him in just an hour!

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but honestly, it was still acceptable for what we experienced.

    impressive facilities
    cozy fireplace
    breakfast variety

    great facilities , but dining needs improvement

    The facilities here were truly impressive, offering countless activities across the expansive property. I particularly enjoyed the cozy fireplace in the suite, which created a warm atmosphere during our winter stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights. I also loved the local seafood served at dinner. it was fresh and full of flavor!

    Although the dinner options were excellent, the breakfast spread felt a bit lacking in variety.

    fireplace ambiance
    friendly staff
    spa hours

    But while the spa wasn’t open all the time, the herb picking experience was fantastic! The fireplace in our room created such a warm ambiance, and the staff really knew how to make our stay feel special. The close connection to nature was just what we needed.

    family gathering
    unique experiences
    breakfast options

    Staying here with my three grandkids was unforgettable! We loved exploring the stunning gardens and learning about various pumpkins. The private courtyard made for perfect family gathering moments. The leisurely farm tour added a unique touch to our trip.

    My kids wished for more breakfast options like pancakes.

    cozy nights
    beautiful grounds

    Beautiful. Magical. Stunning.

    We stayed 3 nights in a farmhouse suite. It was stunning—great attention to detail with a comfy bed and private bathroom. Loved the fireplace for cozy nights. The grounds are beautiful with gardening, a spa, and activities like cycling and canoeing. Breakfast and dinner were homemade, using farm produce, though dinner could be better. Staff were exceptionally friendly and always helpful.

    friendly staff

    This place suits me perfectly! I love the free parking, seasonal outdoor pool, and complimentary welcome drink. Staff once helped me with a phone charger, which I remember fondly. Definitely come for the amazing ambiance! Can't wait to return for a weekend.

    stunning gardens
    limited dining options

    The gardens were absolutely stunning, and the

    activities provided something for everyone, like farm tours and kayaking. However, I felt the dining options could have been a bit more varied. a wider selection would enhance the overall experience.

    local seafood
    farm-to-table delights
    comfortable rooms
    breakfast variety
    packing supplies

    Absolutely stunning estate with exceptional farm-to-table delights. Local seafood was a true standout—fresh and bursting with flavor. Plus, the comfortable, clean rooms and friendly staff topped off a fabulous experience. Can't forget the fireplace—perfect touch for cozy nights!

    While the breakfast spread could use more variety—think warm pastries and pancakes—everything else still sparkled. Also, a little more bubble wrap for those precious olive oil souvenirs would go a long way!

    Babylonstoren's gardens are stunningly maintained, with accessible paths perfect for strolling. The ambiance is serene, and the blend of traditional Cape Dutch architecture and modern details creates a welcoming environment that celebrates nature beautifully, allowing easy exploration for seniors.

    beautiful gardens
    heated pool
    unique activities
    limited dining

    Stunning surroundings with beautiful gardens and a diverse array of activities, from boat rides to guided tours around the farm. The heated pool, hot spa, sauna, and salt room provide a unique relaxation experience right outside your door.

    Easter weekend created a bustling atmosphere, leading to long queues for meals and activities. Dining options felt limited with only three menu choices each night, causing repetitiveness for longer stays. The spa had a slightly damp smell, and amenities like soap in bathrooms were lacking. The bread-making course didn’t meet expectations, as it involved only assembling toppings on pre-made bread. Morning coffee service was painfully slow, adding frustration to an otherwise enjoyable experience.
