Historic Cape Dutch farm hotel with Africa's Best Farm-to-Table Restaurant 2024

Dining and Culinary Experiences

Babylonstoren Simondium offers two on-site restaurants, including Babel Restaurant, which won Africa's Best Farm-to-Table Restaurant at the World Culinary Awards 2024. The Greenhouse provides lighter lunches and beverages in a custom-built glass structure overlooking the gardens. Breakfast features fresh local produce each morning, and guests can order packed lunches for exploring the 200-hectare farm.

Gardens, Workshops, and Farm Activities

Guided garden tours led by experienced gardeners showcase innovative agriculture and sustainable practices across extensive fruit and vegetable gardens. Guests can participate in educational workshops on farming, cooking, and bread-making, or visit the living history museum at Soetmelksvlei recreating 19th-century farm life. The farm provides access to 200 hectares for cycling, walking, fishing, and canoeing on the lake.

Spa and Wellness Facilities

The exclusive spa includes a hot spa area, sauna, steam room, hammam, and massage services, plus fitness centre and yoga classes. Guests can book body treatments, facials, and spa packages in the spa lounge and relaxation area. Two swimming pools - one indoor and one outdoor - offer sun loungers and mountain views.
