There are so many lovely rooms available at Babylonstoren but the Manor House offers total exclusivity and is perfect for larger groups or families. Dating back to 1777, in true Cape Dutch style the interior has been beautifully restored to its former glory with a contemporary touch. Relax by the roaring fire in the colder months or enjoy games on the lawn in the warmer weather and take in the exquisite views around you.

  • A MUST on your Cape Town bucketlist

    N-E-V-E-R leave Cape Town without visiting Babylonstoren! This estate features 2 extravagant restaurants, a Scent Room, Wine Tasting room, a Deli with Cheese, Bread and meat to DIE for as well as other high-end products. But NOTHING can compare with their breathtakingly garden. You can get lost there (wich could be a delightfull expierence!). Divine.

  • Amazing Stay

    We stayed at Babylonstoren for 4 nights on our honeymoon and I cannot wait to return. We felt really at home here – it was like adult camp with great food and wine. The rooms and spaces around the property were so well appointed – true attention to detail. So many nooks and crannies and landscapes to explore. We loved biking around the property every evening before dinner.
    Thank you for creating such a special place!
