Cape Winelands
If you are a wine lover, then the Cape Winelands is a must-visit destination! The popular wine-making towns of Robertson, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, and Paarl all lie within easy reach of each other. Plan your romantic retreat to the winelands between November and March, as this is the best time of year to enjoy alfresco dining experiences and sample the finest wines this region has to offer.
Robertson, the town known as the valley of wines and roses, is one of the most romantic destinations to stay when visiting the Cape Winelands.
Orange Grove Farm
When in Robertson, you can stay at Orange Grove Farm, a working wine and olive farm in the heart of the valley. Luxurious self-catering cottages are named after the areas where the owner mined diamonds, and each has a unique story to tell.
The accommodation combines comfort and beauty, offering a setting in which to linger and relax. Each cottage can be serviced daily by our friendly staff, leaving you only to focus on unwinding and enjoying the magnificence of your surroundings.
