Why We Love It:
  • The Views: The hotel lies five minutes up the Franschhoek Pass Road and overlooks the entire valley below. You’ll want to spend the afternoon sipping wine and enjoying the beautiful views from this property.
  • The Staff: Some of the staff we met have been working on the property for over 20 years (even as ownership changed hands) and they were warm, helpful, and proud of their beautiful hotel.
  • The Wine: Despite being a small wine producer, the hotel is known for producing wines of exceptional quality. It offers a full range of whites, reds and rosés.

The Unmissable Experience:

Hire a 3-5 hour private tour of winecountry, so you can taste and eat the day away. Make sure to check out Babylonstoren which is a winery, farm, garden, hotel, and restaurant all in one.

You’ve heard of Michelin Stars, but what about Michelin Keys? Earlier this month, Michelin awarded its second-ever group of Keys to outstanding hotels and resorts in over 100 countries across every continent (save Antarctica). Included on the list with a top three-Key designation is South Africa’s stunning royalmalewane — which debuted the new Masiya’s Camp, pictured here, earlier this year.

Check the link in our bio for the full list of newly keyed properties…and while you’re there, sign up for our newsletter: more bucket-list worthy hotel recommendations are coming your way later this week.
