Hosts, Dietske and Gary are charming and speak English, Dutch, French and German. Gary is a wonderful chef. Produce is sourced from the farm and it’s fun to take a tour and meet the livestock including sheep, pigs, cattle and free-range hens. Take a cooking class with Gary or enjoy High Tea in the afternoon. Gary is a professional golfer and will, by request, accompany guests to paly golf at Bridge Pa or Cape Kidnappers.

The Manse offers so much on the property, from 4-Wheel drive adventures, Clay Bird shooting, Cooking classes, or Whisky and Cigar tasting. Guests tour the local vineyards, play golf or fly fish in the local rivers. And there is a helicopter landing pad onsite.
