The 300-year-old Babylonstoren Farm
The Fynbos Cottages
A symbiosis that has also been successfully achieved in the six new Fynbos Cottages.
The Fynbos Cottages are a true retreat amidst the beauty of the expansive farm, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and a nearby dam. The whitewashed "cottages" are designed in the typical Cape Dutch style and offer a perfect combination of tradition and modernity.
The cottages are nestled in a beautiful landscape and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards and orchards. The nearby dam is a great place to relax and enjoy nature. The cottages are designed to offer absolute privacy while still being in close proximity to the farm's delicatessen, butchery, bakery, and Babel restaurant.
The six Fynbos Cottages are all uniquely designed and offer a high degree of comfort and luxury. The interior design is modern yet cozy, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light and offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Each cottage features a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed, a modern bathroom with all amenities, and a living area with a fireplace and its own library.
The Modern Glass Cube
A special highlight of the Fynbos Cottages is the modern glass cube that complements the cottage and serves as a kitchen. The glass cube is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and offers everything needed for preparing meals. Here you can indulge your culinary creativity and use local products from the delicatessen to create your own meals.
The Farm Delicatessen & Babel Restaurant
The farm delicatessen offers a wide selection of fresh and locally produced foods that can be used for preparing meals. Here you will find fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and cheese, as well as a large selection of wines from the region. The products are of the highest quality and sourced from local producers.
Although you can cook for yourself in the Fynbos Cottages, it is definitely worth visiting Babel Restaurant. The restaurant is located on the farm grounds and offers exquisite cuisine with seasonal ingredients from its own garden. The dishes are delicious and the ambiance is cozy and inviting.
Overall, Babylonstoren is a true dream for nature lovers and people interested in the history and culture of farms. The farm offers a unique combination of nature, history, and culture that makes it an unforgettable experience. We recommend everyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience to visit Babylonstoren.
