Experience Life on a Storied Farm
An eclectic collection of a historic Manor House, original Cape Dutch farm buildings, and charming suites, San Gabriel Homestead offers an authentic Winelands retreat steeped in history and character. Lovingly restored to honor the estate’s 300-year-old farming legacy, the accommodation blends seamlessly into the natural beauty of the Helderberg valley.
San Gabriel Homestead offers 13 rooms across 8 unique units, each carefully decorated in an eclectic mix of modern comforts and old-world heritage. Set on 8 hectares of farmland with sheep, ducks, donkeys, chickens, and turkeys roaming the grounds, the heart of the homestead is the grand 8-bedroom Manor House, surrounded by former farm buildings — once stables, slave quarters, and a wine cellar — now thoughtfully converted into guest cottages, suites, a beautiful breakfast room, and a versatile conferencing and workshop space.
Set among ancient oak trees, rolling lawns, and fragrant rose gardens, San Gabriel invites guests to slow down and experience the simple joys of farm living.
