It is thanks to a great team that we can impress you with our outstanding service and products.

our team is happy to cater for a secretly arranged engagement picnic, to stage a surprise birthday party where all guests cook up a meal in our franschhoek kitchen – or we simple turn your big birthday or wedding into the unforgettable event of the season.

we can accomodate the most outstanding events for you, our locations on this unique farm range from the private corner where the two rivers meet to the cellars, which we like to use for winter wedding ceremonies, from picnic areas along the river to the large banqueting space in the franschhoek kitchen restaurant, from the manor house courtyard and dining room to the orchard with its over 400 fruit trees, and from the gazebo on the farm dam to the outdoor restaurant area amidst the vines.
