About Navarre Residence

Reconnect and unwind at Navarre Residence, a stately thatched retreat dating back two centuries, set in the heart of Stellenbosch. Ideal for family holidays, this distinguished home combines heritage charm with modern-day comfort, offering sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and the calm presence of a nearby lake.

Self-Catering Accommodation

Four beautifully appointed bedrooms, three with lavish en-suite bathrooms, provide restful havens of comfort within the main Manor House. Each room is thoughtfully styled to reflect the estate's heritage while offering the indulgence of modern refinement. The expansive open-plan living areas invite connection and relaxation in equal measure. Gather beside the fireplace with a glass of local wine, host elegant dinners prepared in the fully equipped gourmet kitchen, or unwind with a movie night in effortless comfort. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, yet undeniably elevated.

For larger groups seeking enhanced privacy, the Manor House Garden Cottage — discreetly positioned alongside the main house — provides an elegant and fully self-contained retreat. The cottage features two luxurious en-suite bedrooms, a private lounge, dining area and fully equipped kitchen, comfortably accommodating up to four additional guests by arrangement. It is ideal for extended family, close friends or couples who appreciate a little extra space and seclusion.

Outdoors, the estate reveals its true charm. Immaculately manicured gardens stretch out towards magnificent mountain views, creating an atmosphere of complete tranquillity. Children can play freely on the expansive lawns, couples may wander beneath mature trees, and friends can unwind together on sun-drenched terraces. The sparkling swimming pool offers welcome relief on warm summer afternoons, while breathtaking sunsets bathe the surrounding landscape in golden light.

With high-speed Wi-Fi, thoughtfully curated entertainment areas and the option of a private chef to create bespoke culinary experiences, Navarre Residence offers refined luxury in a serene and private setting. Surrounded by the iconic beauty of Stellenbosch, it is an exceptional retreat designed for memorable gatherings and unforgettable stays.

Location & Attractions

Just under an hour’s drive from Cape Town, the town of Stellenbosch lies in the embrace of the Stellenbosch Mountains and the Jonkershoek River Valley, offering some of the Western Cape’s most picturesque scenery. Known affectionately as “Eikestad” or “City of Oaks,” Stellenbosch is the second oldest town in South Africa and proudly preserves its heritage through the Cape Dutch, Georgian, and Victorian buildings lining its streets.

A stroll down Dorp Street, recognised as a national monument, reveals a historic core alive with charm, where narrow lanes, old water furrows, vibrant eateries, and cosy cafés appear around every corner, all set against a dramatic backdrop of mountains, vineyards, and orchards.

Stellenbosch is also a cornerstone of South Africa’s winemaking legacy. It is home to the country’s oldest wine route, a renowned experimental winery, and the only university faculty devoted to viticulture and oenology. Beyond wine, the town is steeped in culture, housing South Africa’s oldest music school—the Stellenbosch Conservatoire—and a variety of galleries and museums that showcase both local and international artistry.
