A Winelands Winter Staycation Among The Olive Groves at Olijvenkraal

Opened in December 2025, the lodge has just six suites. That limited room count gives the property an intimate character, suited to couples, small groups and anyone whose idea of a restful weekend does not involve competing for a pool lounger.

The suites combine contemporary design with natural textures, spacious living areas and views across the farm. Fireplaces warm the interiors, while private patios and generous windows keep the surrounding landscape firmly in view.

At the centre of the lodge is The Clubhouse, a communal space designed to carry guests through the day. Mornings begin with coffee, a continental spread and a choice of hot breakfast dishes. Later, the deck invites lingering lunches, while cooler evenings belong beside the fire with a drink in hand.

There is also a heated pool overlooking the olive trees, because Cape winters frequently deliver the sort of bright afternoon that makes swimming seem perfectly sensible—at least until the robe is out of reach.
