Blue Gum Country Estate is a beautiful getaway located on a working wine farm in the valley leading to the charming town of Stanford, a short drive from Hermanus in the Western Cape. The Gibson family has lovingly owned and operated this estate for over two decades, transforming it into a flourishing vineyard and carefully crafting a rustic countryside space perfect for a romantic getaway, an adventure-seeking young family, or a friend's holiday. Best of all, your beloved pets are welcome to join in the experience!
Blue Gum Country Estate offers five spacious self-catering rooms (with the option of bed-and-breakfast) and three bed-and-breakfast-only rooms, some of which feature cosy indoor fireplaces. Additionally, a self-catering villa is available for those seeking a more exclusive experience for a bigger family. Guests enjoy breakfast and light lunches at Campbells Cafe, conveniently located on the farm, which is also host to a well-stocked deli offering an array of cheeses, cold meats, relishes, jams, and delightful sweet treats.
Spanning an impressive 130 acres, Blue Gum Country Estate is an ideal destination for those seeking a getaway close to South Africa's famed Walker Bay Nature Reserve, or simply a relaxing break from the busy city life of Cape Town. Surrounded by ancient blue gum trees, the estate offers breathtaking views of the Klein Rivier, inviting guests to unwind in a serene ambiance of nature’s beauty.
Enjoy a game of tennis on the estate’s court, take a refreshing dip in the pool, let the little ones have a blast at the play area, or explore the various on-site shops. From exhilarating whale-watching experiences nearby to exploring the scenic landscapes of the Overberg on mountain bikes, there is an activity to suit every taste at Blue Gum Country Estate. And of course, no visit would be complete without indulging in wine-tasting sessions, allowing you to uncover the beauty of South African wines.
Our experience at Blue Gum was fantastic! The staff were incredibly helpful and went the extra mile to assist us. It was convenient to have a restaurant available on the premises, especially since it was a self-catering venue, as it provided us with more choices. The presence of the friendly farm dogs was an added bonus that we enjoyed!
Our second visit surpassed expectations and left us eagerly anticipating the next! The food is divine, the rooms are cosy, and the service is truly five-star. It's a lovely family-run estate where the attentive staff cater to your every need. We can't wait to return!
An excellent location to recharge the tired soul and to enjoy delicious food and fresh air. The staff were wonderfully kind and helpful. The dinners have a wonderful feel of elegance long forgotten. Thank you.
