Loadshedding Proof
Knorhoek Country Guesthouse is a guest house with self catering option, providing accommodation in Stellenbosch for tourists visiting the Cape Winelands region.
Situated under ancient oaks, flanked by vineyards and the Simonsberg Mountain, the guest house offers the unique combination of modern comfort and old-world charm. Knorhoek is ideally situated just ten minutes form the historic town of Stellenbosch and jsut 40 minutes away form the airport.
If you've chosen one of Knorhoek's two luxury self-catering cottages or the family Suite, pad through barefoot to a well-appointed kitchen and prepare your first coffee of the day. Relax on the stoep and watch the light. Your low-walled garden leads directly into the farm where vineyards, depending on the season, will either be heavy with bunches of ripe grapes ready for the harvest or perhaps the vines are turning russet to signal autumn.
If you're staying in one of our en suite bedrooms, prepare for one of our farmhouse breakfasts that will have you fuelled and ready for an active day either exploring the 200-ha farm or Stellenbosch and surrounds. Then again, you might simply pick up your book or camera and laze about the lawns under ancient oaks and avenues of Poplar trees planted by the families who lived and worked here over the centuries.
If Knorhoek Valley has captured your senses – from the Simonsberg that creates a natural amphitheatre behind the estate to the sounds of country life – the it remains for us to give you a taste of the terroir with our range of Knorhoek wines as well as the Nymysto range. Either spend a lazy afternoon tasting through all the wines or chose to refresh with the white wine or indulge with the reds.
Enjoy lunch while your children are free to play safely. The restaurant is knowns for it's farm-to-table fresh and delicious dishes. But there is also ample space to spread out on Knorhoek Wine Estate and for couples to taste delicious estate wines and enjoy lunch around the pool or picnic under the canopy of trees. Breakfast, brunch and lunch are served at Knorhoek Restaurant from Wednesday to Sunday from 10h00 to 16h00. Please book in advance.
The ten top courses within 30 minutes drive from us. We are all golfers and have played most of the courses in the Western Cape. We shall advise you and book tee-times with pleasure.
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Lovely venue and friendly staff. Room was good, comfy bed, everything we needed including pluger coffee which was great for the morning. The breakfast however is a bit of a let down, options are very basic and the "warm" breakfast came to us ice cold.
