Out in Tulbagh’s Valley of Abundance — about 121 km from Cape Town in the Western Cape Winelands. This rural guest farm sits a short drive from Oude Compagnies and minutes from Saronsberg, Montpellier and Twee Jonge Gezellen wine estates, with Tulbagh Local Nature Reserve and Cape Floral Region sites close by.
