Lying within the vineyards and orchards of the Drakenstein Valley, between Franschhoek and Paarl, Babylonstoren is one of the best preserved werfs (farm yards) in the Cape Dutch tradition, with the manor house dating back to 1777. Now a boutique hotel it hosts elegant cottages and suites, of varying sizes, in converted Cape Dutch farm buildings.
Babylonstoren has two restaurants serving produce from its famous organic gardens, as well as a wine Tasting Room which serves delicious platters. Spend your time at Babylonstoren enjoying the mountains all around, picking your own healthy fruit and veg, playing pétanque, swimming in the farm dam, enjoying an hour in the spa, eating at one of the restaurants or awaiting sunsets with a glass of wine in hand.
Babylonstoren is a 10 minute drive from Paarl, some 60km from the city of Cape Town and an easy 45 min drive from Cape Town International Airport. Franschhoek and Stellenbosch are a 15-minute drive.
Enjoy a walk in the remarkable fruit and vegetable garden or enjoy a meal in the superb restaurant. Partake in a massage in the spa or a bike ride through the orchards. Swim in the farm dam before sundowners at a picnic spot.

Paradise on earth. Amazing as an experience, with a hundred of beautiful details and the nicest people! Really enjoyed our dinner at Babel too and the wine tasting!
Babylonstoren was a dream. Felt like we were in a postcard. Staff was so friendly. We loved our farm cottage and really felt at home.
