The original home has been extensively restored to its former glory. The guesthouse now offers nine luxury en suite bedrooms. The spacious rooms provided adequate internal space for renovation without altering the external façade. Thus the tranquil proportions of the exterior have been retained, with the original wooden window frames and gables all intact from a century ago.

Many old trees grace the garden and these have been maintained. The northern side now offers a refuge of tranquillity with fragrant old roses and a rose labyrinth to restore one’s soul. The south side of the house opens onto a wooden deck surrounding a deep blue swimming pool. This elevated but secluded deck offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the vineyards, the Langeberg, splendid sunsets and generally the ‘kingdom’ of this fertile valley. 

Wine and dine
Enjoy scrumptious breakfasts before going on excursions for the day, or order lunch and lounge at the pool. For the more active, you can enjoy fishing, and swimming in the dam across the road, walks through the vineyards or why not take a donkey cart ride to one of the 6 wine tasting facilities within walking distance for the bold.

After a long day dinners will be served on request in either the dining room or out on the deck.

The De Wets look forward to welcoming you to share in the tranquillity of their farm and the old-time splendour of the feather palace of Excelsior.
