FARM TO TABLE AT BABYLONSTOREN

Nestled at the foot of the majestic mountains of the Drakenstein Valley, Babylonstoren is a trendy farm combining tradition and modernity, luxury and authenticity. Each of the 21 rooms offers magnificent views of the vineyards or landscaped gardens. Babylonstoren's concept restaurant, Babel, serves bio-chic cuisine and sources its ingredients directly from the estate's botanical garden. A true local attraction, you can stroll through the garden to discover an incredible variety of fruit, vegetables, herbs and aromatics, which you are free to pick.
