Один из лучших и дорогих вариантов проживания в ЮАР. Сервис на высшем уровне. Брать хотя бы на 1 ночь однозначно стоит.

    “Loved absolutely everything about this very short stay. The staff are so willing to help with ANYTHING and their passion for their jobs and the farm shows in everything they do - every conversation, every request, every suggestion. Being on the farm was just so amazing - it was tranquil and refreshing for the soul. The mountain drive and unexpected picnic up there was incredible. The water buffalo tour was so interesting - and what a treat to feed a calf - and even suggest names. The spa was DIVINE. The actual treatment was hands down the best massage ever. And the amenities were just incredible. So much to do - so little time... felt like I was in a bubble - other worldly to say the least!”

    “В этом месте прекрасно абсолютно всё! С удовольствием будем возвращаться сюда снова. Очень красивая винодельня, магазины и вся ферма. Отличный сервис! Вкусные и интересные рестораны! Дизайн и комфорт в коттедже выше всяких похвал. И обязательно посещайте все активности, которые предлагают вам. Это очень интересно и красиво. Винная дегустация прекрасна!”

    “We visited Babylonstoren for the farm to fork experience. The menus mostly offer dishes and wine that incorporate produce grown on the farm. We joined one of many workshops to draw inspiration from the working garden. Babylonstoren is my favorite place to eat, drink and be one with nature.”

  • Perfect for honeymoon.

    “Best place we have stayed in our lives!! We were celebrating our honeymoon here. Accommodation is so unique and cosy. They put hot water bottles and lit our fire in the evenings. Staff can’t do enough for you, food is 10/10 all fresh farm produce. Loved carnivore night. So many activities, highly recommend water buffalo tour and mountain drive. You defo need more than 1 night - so much to do!! We never wanted to leave.”

  • Perfektes Farm Leben.

    “I rarely write reviews, but Babylonstoren deserves an exception. This is, without question, the most beautiful place I have ever visited. Everything about this estate feels magical. From the moment you arrive, there is an atmosphere that is almost impossible to describe. The gardens, the architecture, the vineyards, the mountains, the peacefulness - every detail has been created with extraordinary care. What made the experience even more special were the people. Every single member of the staff was genuinely warm, welcoming and kind. Their hospitality felt effortless and sincere, making me feel at home from the very first minute. One of the absolute highlights was exploring the estate by bicycle. It is the perfect way to discover this incredible place at your own pace, stopping whenever something catches your eye - which happens constantly. And do yourself a favour: book the wine tasting. It is exceptional and completes the entire Babylonstoren experience. Some places are beautiful. Others stay with you forever. Babylonstoren has become one of those rare places that keeps calling me back.”

    “Fabulous 3 nights. The room was beautifully furnished, the gardens and lake are divine to spend time in. There’s a great spa / pool house which we had mostly to ourselves. The complementary wine and olive oil tours were a great way to unwind.”
