Run by two veterans of South Africa’s luxury hotel scene, just six keys make up this privately owned refuge that, whether booking just one suite or the entire property, retains its air of easy-going intimacy. From mouth-watering menus to experiences that go beyond a simple wine tasting (although they of course feature greatly), everything is bespoke to help nurture guests’ well-being and sense of wonder.

Foodies head out to harvest ingredients from the manor’s gardens with Chef Gary who then puts on a cooking class; early birds hike through the vines at dawn to catch the sunrise with breakfast; and aspiring sommeliers join the country’s youngest female winemaker – Chiara Scott – to mix their own concoctions.
