Penhill Farm: Fruit Barn
Nestled in the expansive Nuy Valley – just a scenic 75-minute drive from Cape Town – Penhill Farm Estate offers guests a slice of slow Karoo life. With a rich history that goes back to the days of the Dutch East India Company, this fully restored, luxurious country retreat comes with whitewashed buildings, manicured gardens, a sparkling dam, a fine-dining restaurant and five beautiful places to stay.
There’s the stately Manor House (which sleeps eight and overlooks the gardens, with a large swimming pool), and then there are four elegantly appointed two-bedroom cottages – two with private pools (Pepper Tree and Fruit Barn) and all four boasting Swedish hot tubs. Fruit Barn was once – you guessed it – the old fruit barn, and is now a lovingly converted farm-style home with magnificent mountain views, surrounded by fruit trees.
Good to know
Each house can be booked separately, or you can book the whole farm for a larger gathering or celebration. There is a tennis court, as well as boules, croquet, fishing and canoeing facilities.
