Eikendal Lodge gives you the rare opportunity of staying amongst the luscious vineyards of Eikendal, one of the Cape’s leading wine farms, nestled on the slopes of the picturesque Helderberg Mountain. Tranquillity is the keynote at Eikendal Lodge, although the wine centres of Stellenbosch and Somerset West are conveniently close, and Cape Town International Airport is a mere 25 minutes away.

At Eikendal Lodge, guests will find themselves surrounded by "royalty", with all the Noble cultivars at their doorstep. In spite of the rural setting, guests have all the modern conveniences required to ensure a memorable stay. The Lodge is a home away from home, in a haven of tranquility, where relaxation is high on the agenda. The Guesthouse offers nine spacious en-suite bedrooms, with terraces opening directly onto the vineyards. Each room is individually decorated and appointed with satellite television, direct telephone, safe, fridge, and tea/coffee-making facilities. Hearty breakfasts are served in the elegant breakfast room or weather permitting on the patio leading to the sparkling pool. DiningStroll down to our Eikendal Vineyards, A-la Carte restaurant, for a light lunch or formidable dinner. Picnic baskets are provided for the more energetic guests who want to explore the beauty of the Cape Wine lands or spend the day on one of the nearby beaches, lapping up the African sun. You may also wish to spend the evening out on your terrace under the stars, whilst enjoying one of our delicious dinner platters accompanied by our award winning wines.
