Setting Description
Set in the cool‑climate fruit and wine region of Elgin, this garden suite is situated on a working apple orchard and vineyard with views of distant mountains. The property is located just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town International Airport, offering seclusion while staying within reach of boutique wine estates, the Elgin Railway Market, and cycling and hiking trails. Explore nearby reserves such as Mt Hebron and Howhoek, or simply stroll through the mature garden, home to walnut, macadamia, olive, fig and sweet thorn. The property features a beautiful pond inspired by Lady Anne Barnard’s Bath at Kirstenbosch and a wooden bench beneath a centuries‑old pin oak for peaceful relaxation. Guests visiting during harvest season may even participate in gathering fresh produce from the garden. With four-seasons weather, the Annex provides electric blankets and a portable heater to maintain comfort year‑round.

Explore Elgin Valley
Stargazing
The Elgin Valley is located in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. Elgin has been known for almost a century for its famous fresh produce – most notably apples and pears. The area is one of the Cape’s most beautiful fruit-growing areas and wine regions. This agricultural centre is home to apple and pear farmers and producers of some superb cold-region wines.
This special valley is also known for its incredible award-winning cool climate wines. You will be near wedding venues, wine-tasting rooms, hikes, bicycle tracks, the Elgin Railway Market and the Cape Canopy Tour, as well as the Elgin/Grabouw Country Club. But also to just be here to do nothing at all, is an option.
