WHO WE ARE
Babylonstoren is one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms, set at the foot of Simonsberg in the Franschhoek wine valley. It has a fruit and vegetable garden of beauty and diversity, unique accommodation, fine food and wine, and evokes a sense of wellbeing.
Garden
A fruit and vegetable garden with great botanical diversity.
Every aspect of Babylonstoren – including the contemporary Farm Hotel & Spa, the Farm Shop and Restaurants – is led by the ever-changing tapestry and botanical diversity of the garden.
FARM HOTEL
Combining the simplicity of our farm buildings with style.
The farm hotel is characterised by thick whitewashed walls, elegant gables and hearty fireplaces, emulating an authentic farmstay experience.
RESTAURANTS
Our menus are always guided by what is available in the garden.
We have a farm-to-fork philosophy which means we like to serve food that is seasonal and that reflects our “pick, clean and serve” approach.

SOETMELKSVLEi
A short shuttle ride from Babylonstoren, lies Soetmelksvlei, an interactive farmyard set in the late 19th century.
Step back in time to an era before rampant industrialisation, when the world moved at a slower pace and people used their hands to create what was needed.
Sister Estates
Our Sister Estates in the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands and South Africa are grounded in a sense of place and history; sharing our philosophy of celebrating natural beauty, farm-to-table living, and immersive guest experiences.
