Val du Charron Wine and Leisure Estate Guesthouse  

In the heart of the Winelands on a working wine and olive estate in the Bovlei valley, just 10 minutes from Wellington and under an hour from Cape Town and the airport. A boutique Winelands getaway with sweeping vineyard and mountain views.

Choose from spacious guest rooms and private Coach House suites — the Coach House has three secluded suites, each with its own plunge pool, shuttered terrace and wood-burning fireplace. Rooms feature queen, king or twin beds and en-suite bathrooms, many overlooking vineyards, gardens or the Hawekwa Mountains. Buffet breakfast is included.

Cool off in the main pool or retreat to your private plunge pool in the Coach House. Explore the estate’s vineyards, olive groves and 400-ton cellar, book a wine tasting, hike or mountain-bike the Wild Boar Trails from Pizza Vista, or try nearby horse riding and meet the alpacas. On-site sauna and massage room are listed; the on-site spa is currently closed and treatments can be arranged at a nearby spa.

Wi‑Fi available on the premises, on-site parking, elevator access for guests with disabilities and laundry services.

Two on-site restaurants — the Grillroom and Pizza e Vino — plus a relaxed bar. Buffet breakfast is included; expect South African flavours and cellar-door wine tastings and pairings, with wines available for local and international shipping.
