A modern take on vernacular Cape Dutch architecture

Hawksmoor House is a Cape Dutch country retreat located on a 220- hectare wine farm, Matjieskuil, near Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands. Meticulously restored and beautifully decorated with a mix of modern furnishings and exquisite antiques, it occupies a stunning location amidst vineyards overlooking Table Mountain, and enjoys spectacular sunsets. A 25 minute drive away from the buzzing Cape Town centre, the estate is quiet and serene. In addition to our guests, the farm is home to horses, cows, porcupines, hawks, pelicans and countless other wildlife. Our resident German Pointers keep a watchful eye on the daily workings of the farm. If you love dirt roads, sunsets, wine by candlelight, an owl outside your window, and don't mind sharing the pool with the occasional disoriented frog, or getting a paw print of our overzealous dogs on your trousers, you have found your place!

Recently, the vineyards and fruit trees have been joined by a herd of free range Angus cattle, a chicken coup, two fabulous restaurants and a deli and a handful of pretty renovated guest cottages meaning the fun doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down…
