Boschendal has generators on the farm, so load shedding will not disrupt your stay.
Boschendal Estate has implemented numerous initiatives to align with various sustainable movements. Removal of over 500 hectares of invasive vegetation, including acacias, hakeas, and pines, has yielded significant positive changes. This endeavor has not only improved birdlife and allowed free wildlife movement but has also notably enhanced the flow of small rivers originating from neighboring mountains. Formerly dry during much of the summer, these rivers now maintain a consistent year-round flow, thanks to four substantial streams.
In the vineyards, the incorporation of cover crops serves multiple purposes, such as improving soil quality, deterring weed growth, aiding in pest control, and managing soil erosion. Water conservation strategies, including the removal of invasive trees, ensure a consistent and natural water supply. The estate also invests in irrigation systems prioritizing conservation efforts.
As WWF Conservation Champions, Boschendal Estate is dedicated to biodiversity-friendly, regenerative farming practices, conserving natural areas, and continuously improving water and energy efficiencies.
SIZA certification guarantees ethical and environmentally sound trade practices through the Farm Shop. Collaboratively assessing their environmental impact, undertaking conservation efforts, and adhering to prevailing labor legislation standards are essential components.

Through collaboration with The Greater Simonsberg Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to conservation and community services, Boschendal Estate engages in proactive conservation efforts covering 700 hectares of the farm. This partnership supports their commitment to preserving the land and contributing positively to neighboring communities.
