What to do during your stay
San Gabriel Homestead sits quietly on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain range, in the heart of what locals call the Golden Triangle. It is an area known for world class wines and unrivalled views.
San Gabriel is close enough to everything to make exploring easy, but far enough away to feel quiet and restful.
