Description

Schalkenbosch Wine Estate is situated in Tulbagh and offers fully equipped, self-catering cottages at well as a 3-bedroom house in the gardens of a stately, 1792, Cape Dutch mansion which has been declared a national monument.

The cottages all feature cosy fireplaces and private braai areas. The Avonturier Kothuis comprises 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which can accommodate 4 adults and 2 children. The main bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed while the second bedroom has a double bed. The third bedroom contains a cot to accommodate 2 children. Other facilities include an indoor fireplace, as well as an outdoor braai on the patio.

There is also a sparkling swimming pool for those hot summer days where the sunset can be enjoyed over the valley.

The 40-hectare vineyard is located in the foothills of the Witzenburg Mountains with breathtaking views of the Tulbagh Valley and is only an hour and a half drive from Cape Town.

For the adventurous, there are kilometres of mountain biking and hiking trails. For the bird watchers who enter a Big Year, the area boasts a rich variety of species.

The 1000-hectare conservation estate was established as part of a commitment to the conservation and rehabilitation of the native flora and fauna. It was placed under the control of Cape Nature and is an integral part of the Bio-diversity in Wine Initiative. This exclusive reserve houses native species including zebra, leopard, lynx, fox, grysbok and more.

Quality wine is produced in the modern cellar behind the main building and is mostly exported to the German and Swedish markets. The wine is also available for purchase by guests.
