About The Homestead at Oldenburg Vineyards

Gorgeous farmhouse living in a serene pocket of South Africa's wine region

Set in Stellenbosch's Banghoek Valley, encompassed by rocky escarpments, The Homestead at Oldenburg Vineyards is a holiday retreat we regard as idyllic. The 200-year-old estate is magnificent, with row upon row of vines that scoop through the valleys and climb the hillsides; gracious old structures, lovingly restored; and an impressive modern tasting room. The Homestead is the estate's original patron's home, perched on a small rise overlooking the property. Today, it's available for private groups and families seeking a refined country escape. Expect centuries-old facades and period details, and sleek contemporary interiors (including a glass-walled gym).

Property details

The property

Behind the restored facade is a thoroughly modern interior, where the spaces are sleek and carefully considered, inviting rather than intimidating. The double-storey house has six bedrooms for up to 12 guests. Slip outside to unwind in either of the two large outdoor lounges, with dining tables – both fine wining and lounging entertainment areas. There's a gated pool, and a large garden with plush, velvety grass. Inside you'll find a reception room, a formal dining room and living room.

The rooms

On the ground floor, four en-suite bedrooms (two of which are in a separate wing) open to the wraparound patio. Upstairs is a master bedroom, and a second room with twin beds. The decor throughout is up-to-the-minute in that calm, feng shui style, with soft neutral greys, creams and taupe, brightened with splashes of turquoise and dusky purple. Original artworks decorate the walls, and there's aircon, discreetly mounted flatscreen TVs, and bathrooms with deep tubs, walk-in showers and underfloor heating.

Activities

The Homestead makes for a dream family vacation, with oodles of space for everyone and something for all palates. If wine is your fancy, of course you've come to the right place. Tour Oldenburg itself, tasting its several varietals (said to express the eight special elements of its unique terroir), and the myriad estates in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Feeling like some exercise? The area offers great hiking, mountain biking, trout fishing and, our favourite pastime, exceptional dining.
