Overview

Babylonstoren is among the oldest working Cape Dutch farms in the Winelands, laid out around a sprawling garden drawn from the historic Company's Garden in Cape Town. That garden, with its wide-ranging botanical collections, sits at the centre of everything here and its seasons guide the rhythm of the place.

The nearest helipad, at Paarl Provincial Hospital, is about 16 minutes' drive.

Wonderful scenery. Lunch not good.
It is very unfortunate that there are very bad road works to and from Babylonstoren, queuing for long periods of time. It is obviously very frustrating for them too. The gardens, farm shop, ice cream shop, orchards, parking areas are all very well tended and the gardens, especially are stunning. I visited the garden restaurant for lunch, which has quite a limited menu and ordered a beef burger with home made potato chips. It looked really good when it arrived but the burger was inedible, chewy, could not cut it, did not have a good taste at all. To be honest, I had more tasty burgers at McDonald's. The vegan mayonnaise is also not a great addition. I felt very let down. Most of the staff were lovely, professional and friendly.

A jewel in the Cape, South Africa
What an amazing afternoon. We joined the oil tasting and learnt so much about olive oils and we even blended our own to take away! The grounds are beautiful and the food in the outside restaurant was delicious. We were blessed with a glorious sunny day too!
