My wife and I have stayed at a lot of very wonderful places, but nothing comes close to the dream-like world of Babylonstoren. The staff is unfailingly friendly, the cottages are straight out of a design magazine, and the grounds are like a playground for adults. One of the the days of our stay, we scrapped our plans for other activities in the Winelands and just spent the day at Babylonstoren, climbing the hill to watch the sun rise over the mountains, gathering freshly-layed eggs, gingerly holding the hedgehog, touring the gardens, feeding grass to the donkeys, canoeing on the reservoir, bird watching, and biking to every corner of the vast property. We woke each morning to breakfast in a fantasy greenhouse and enjoyed delicious lunches and dinners in their stylish Babel restaurant and cozy pizza kitchen. This place is truly magical!
