Accommodation Description

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.
