Situated on a working wine farm, The Farm House at Vondeling was originally built in 1750 and has been immaculately restored to its former glory. The farm, which has 100 acres (40 hectares) of vineyards and encompasses over 1 000 acres (400 hectares), is situated on the slopes of the Paardeberg Mountain (‘Horse Mountain’) and has breath-taking views of mountains and vineyards in every direction. There are wonderful walks through the vineyards and mountains.

The farm is 20km from both Wellington and Paarl, and 40km from Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Cape Town is an easy 45-minute drive away. The closest beach is a 30-minute drive away. Also within easy driving range are several wine routes, top restaurants, delis and cheeseries, arts and crafts, golf courses, outdoor adventure activities, horse-riding, hiking and more

The Farm House comprises seven en suite bedrooms, which are luxuriously appointed and extremely comfortable. Other areas in the house include a fully equipped kitchen, dining and sitting room with a cosy fireplace. The recreation room houses a snooker table, table tennis table, satellite TV, and a DVD and video player.

The Farm House has two extremely efficient housekeepers and a wonderful chef who will do as much – or as little – as one requires. The fridge is always stocked up and the wine fridge is continually replenished with the best wines of the estate and South Africa.

Surrounding The Farm House are peaceful gardens with delightful shaded terraces, a 20m swimming pool, BBQ area and spot-lit tennis court.
