Ballotina, Tulbagh Cape Wineland

This unique place has a style of its own. Restored Burmese teak beams and a port-coloured hallway – where the light magically dances on the walls in the morning sunlight as it refracts through crystal chandeliers – make a striking first impression. ‘Victorians knew a thing or two about sequential theatre in their layout,’. Here, birds call out to welcome you, the goats bleat and blue gums silhouette the hill beyond. It’s simply the greatest luxury of all.
