Babylonstoren is one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms in the Franschoek wine valley. With an emphasis on sustainability and organic produce, and contemporary but elegant style, the ever developing project only gets better and better. From the award-winning restaurant and vineyard to the spa, every aspect of a stay here is led by the bountiful gardens and hubbub of edible delights within.
