Paarl Wine Estate Accommodation
Palmiet Valley Wine Estate offers accommodation in the beautiful Paarl Valley. This luxury 5 star boutique hotel is situated on a working wine farm, only 30 minutes from Cape Town and Cape Town International Airport. The magnificent gabled walls of a Cape Dutch homestead await you when you enter the white gates of Palmiet Valley Wine Estate. Vineyards stretch out to the Drakenstein Mountains to offer a haven of luxury accommodation to the discerning traveler.

Besides the magnificent landscape, the area offers an array of outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking and is also a paradise for golfers. There are some 14 golf courses within a half-an-hour’s drive from the estate with the closest being only 5 minutes away. If you wish, our Chaffeur can take you in a classic Limousine to wine tasting, to the Golf course, Table Mountain or any other destination in the area.

Palmiet Valley Wine Estate is in the centre of the historic Winelands area of the Cape and is the perfect place for a weekend escape or a holiday destination for the city dweller. It is the perfect venue for a never to be forgotten wedding and a spectacular base from which to explore South Africa’s beautiful wine country.

Cape Winelands Guest House
Guests stay in the beautifully restored farm homestead.

Expect crisp cotton linen on Victorian sized beds, gleaming wood floors, original art, worn Persian rugs and chinky crystal glasses from which to enjoy any of the Estate’s exceptional range of export wines. Decorated by the present owner, each suite is a tribute to a collector with a passion for rare finds. Every room is a treasure chest filled with novelty pieces such as an antique safe, a 1920′s celebrity-owned travelling suitcase, or the antique copper kettle which makes up the tea and coffee service in the Honeymoon Suite.

Despite these historic touches, every suite is luxuriously appointed to provide every comfort, from air conditioning to CD players to set the mood. All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms ranging in style from Victorian to Turkish. Petal scattered linen, fragrant bathtime indulgences, fluffy white towels, oversized bathrobes, and heated mattresses for cold winter nights, are just a few of the special ways we like to make our guests feel pampered.

Dining at Palmiet is a sensory experience. Every meal is a production. The smell of roasting coffee and oven-baked bread will coax you out of bed in the morning to a spread of freshly picked fruit, yoghurts, delicious home-made jams and tables strewn with roses, hydrangeas and lavender.

Our resident chef produces daily menus, often Cape Malay influenced, using fresh local ingredients from our herb garden and locally sourced game and fish. Guests dine together, and meals are accompanied by a selection of regional wines, and of course the excellent Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Chenin, Shiraz and Merlot wines produced by the Estate.
