About South Hill

Nestled amongst its own vineyards in the heart of the Elgin Valley, South Hill boutique wine farm provides the perfect excuse to escape the city. In addition to its superb wines, South Hill offers a great country gourmet restaurant and intimate guest house.

Under an hour’s drive from Cape Town, you will find this a perfect setting for a romantic weekend getaway or even better: a quiet weekday break! No matter what time of year, you will be drawn in by the changing colours of the Valleys landscape.

Accommodation

South Hills intimate Guest House offers six double en-suite rooms and a loft with a private bathroom. Each en suite room is individually decorated with doors opening on to a private patio.

The main area of the villa is open plan with a kitchen, dining room table and lounge area tastefully presented overlooking a garden and surrounding vineyards. A large open fire brings warmth during those chilly winter months. Upstairs is a large loft area where can guests watch all DSTV channels, use the library or play cards

The upstairs loft converts into a fifth en suite bedroom with a double bed and three single children’s beds (sleeps five). With five rooms, the house can comfortably sleep 13 guests should you wish to rent it in its entirety. Other facilities include a 15m pool, a boule court and alfresco dining options in the garden and patio, and a pizza oven.

South Hill also offers a beautiful Honeymoon cottage. Set away from the main house overlooking the Shiraz vineyards and a dam with its own private jetty and Jacuzzi, this intimate self-catering cottage offers couples privacy to relax and take in the farm life. The Guesthouse and Pumphouse are iPod and mp3 friendly.

Dining

Enjoy a meal at the on site restaurant, The Gallery Restaurant at South Hill where chef Damian Dearlove will delight you with his innovative bistro-style menu using locally sourced produce. The restaurant also caters for functions, celebrations, weddings or any other private or corporate event.

With your own personal chef located on your own private wine farm in one of the most spectacular locations in the Overberg region, your event is guaranteed to be a stunning success and hassle free!

Wine tasting is available at South Hill and a private tasting can be arranged with our winemaker, Sean Skibbe.

Activities

For the more adventurous, there are paths for walking, bird watching, mountain biking, quad biking or kayaking in the dam. Any enthusiastic photographer will delight in the flora and fauna and amazing sunsets.

Verified reviewexcellent

This place is a hidden gem. It has absolutely everything we look for when neading a break, Jacuzzi, beautiful bathroom, fireplace, outside braai, view of the vineyards from your bed and a lovely secluded deck onto the dam. You can relax here whilst enjoying complete privacy. Tha farm also offers lovely walks through the vinyards and a beautiful restaurant In the art gallery with divine food! Sandy and Kevin really goes out their way to make you feel welcome and has added alot of extra special touches to make the cottage and everything else that bit more special.
