Summary

Grandeur, spaciousness, comfort and serenity - the attributes of a palace, however large or humble the size of the kingdom. If you have ever felt the need to experience a palace in the Breede River Valley, Excelsior Estate opens its doors to you.

This 4-star guest manor is situated centrally in the picturesque Cape Winelands in the Western Cape of South Africa.

Accommodation

Excelsior Estate offers nine luxury en suite bedrooms. The spacious rooms provided adequate internal space for renovation without altering the external facade. Thus the tranquil proportions of the exterior have been retained, with the original wooden window frames and gables all intact from a century ago.

Many old trees grace the garden of the Estate and these have been maintained. The northern side now offers a refuge of tranquility with fragrant old roses and a rose labyrinth to restore one's soul. The south side of the house opens onto a wooden deck surrounding a deep blue swimming pool. This elevated but secluded deck offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the vineyards, the Langeberg, splendid sunsets and generally the "kingdom" of this fertile valley.

Food

Scrumptious daily breakfasts are included in the price of accommodation. Lunches and dinners are also available on request.

Activities

Wine and dine

Enjoy scrumptious breakfasts before going on excursions for the day, or order lunch and lounge at the pool. For the more active, you can enjoy fishing, and swimming in the dam across the road, walks through the vineyards or why not take a donkey cart ride to one of the 6 wine tasting facilities within walking distance?

After a long day dinners will be served on request in either the dining room or out on the deck.

The De Wets look forward to welcoming you to share in the tranquillity of their farm and the old-time splendour of the feather palace of Excelsior.
