There is a rhythm to the Cape that calls for slowing down, breathing deeply, and letting nature set the pace. And there is no better way to answer it than with a five-night escape that takes you from the misty mountains of the Winelands to the sparkling shores of Keurboomstrand.
Your journey begins at Babylonstoren, a sanctuary where the grandeur of the Cape Winelands meets the intimacy of a working farm. Step into a one-bedroom Garden Cottage, where thick whitewashed walls, elegant gables, and a cozy fireplace create two nights of refined farm-style living. Days here unfold naturally. Wander through the meticulously tended gardens, lose yourself among orchards and vineyards, or sink into the spa’s restorative treatments. Taste the season at the on-site restaurants, explore the Tasting Room, or join a guided farm walk or cycling adventure. For a breathtaking finale to your mountain stay, take a private drive up Simonsberg to In the Clouds, a lookout with sweeping valley views and Table Mountain framed against the sunset where a glass of wine in hand feels essential.
Then, trade vineyards for the endless horizon of the Indian Ocean at BLOU in Keurbooms. This intimate beachside retreat is a celebration of barefoot luxury with just eight self-catering cottages, each designed to capture the light, sea breeze, and serenity of the coastline. Nestled around a central courtyard with a swimming pool, sauna, and steam room, BLOU invites you to kick off your shoes, pour a glass of wine, and feel the sand slip between your toes. Days dissolve into gentle rhythms with long walks along unspoilt beaches, the soothing sound of waves, and evenings under a sky streaked with sunset pinks. It is a place to step out of the everyday and attune to nature, where the pace is slow, the air is salty, and the world is far away.
This Berg to Beach escape includes two nights in a Garden Cottage at Babylonstoren and three nights at a BLOU cottage, with a complimentary third night included. The experience also includes a private Mountain Pool Drive, yoga session, and access to all farm activities. Transfers from George Airport to BLOU are included, and optional private flights between Cape Town International and George Airport can be arranged.
