The property is situated on a working olive farm, where guests can enjoy the peaceful rhythms of country life while being within close reach of the Cape Winelands' offerings.

Tulbagh is known for its heritage architecture, award-winning wine estates, and a variety of outdoor activities, all easily accessible from the lodge.
