Boschendal

Franschoek, South Africa

A working wine farm where generations gather beneath the Simonsberg Mountains

At a glance

Set across a vast 1,900-hectare estate in the Cape Winelands, Boschendal is far more than a luxury farm stay. It is a living, breathing working farm rooted in regenerative agriculture, community, and the rhythms of nature.

Here, days unfold slowly. Children roam between orchards and mountain trails, parents savour soil-to-fork dining, and families reconnect around long farmhouse tables. Accommodation ranges from historic Cape Dutch cottages to expansive private farmhouses and a spectacular Mountain Villa, each offering privacy, space and authentic farm living in comfort and style.
