San Gabriel is a private, family-owned homestead and is currently open exclusively to guests staying with us.

In-house guests can join us for our family-style dinners on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Dinner must be pre-booked by email by the Monday before your arrival, giving our small kitchen team time to prepare and source fresh ingredients locally.

Check-in is from 14:00 to 19:00.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to accommodate early check-ins or luggage drop-offs before 14:00. Our team uses the morning to prepare each cottage with care and make sure everything is ready for your arrival.

We look forward to welcoming you from 14:00.

We kindly ask all guests to arrive between 14:00 and 19:00 and are unable to accommodate check-ins after 19:00.

San Gabriel is a lived-in family homestead with a young family on the property, so keeping arrivals within these hours helps us maintain the peaceful rhythm of the farm.

San Gabriel is a family homestead and farm stay rather than a wedding or events venue, so we DO NOT host weddings, receptions, baby showers or large parties on the property.

We do, however, love welcoming wedding parties and their guests who are attending celebrations at nearby Winelands venues.

Our cottages and larger accommodation options make San Gabriel a wonderful base for families, bridal parties and groups of friends who would like to stay together over a wedding weekend. Brides and grooms are also welcome to get ready at the homestead before heading to their wedding venue, making the most of the relaxed surroundings and beautiful setting before the celebrations begin.

If you’re planning a wedding nearby and would like to accommodate your family or wedding party at San Gabriel, please get in touch with us to discuss the best combination of cottages for your group.

We’re happy to provide a cot for little ones in any of our cottages.

We aren’t able to add extra beds, as each cottage has been thoughtfully furnished for a specific number of adults and children. Please choose a cottage that comfortably accommodates everyone in your group.

Yes! Breakfast is included in your stay.

Each morning we serve a generous family-style breakfast, starting with a continental spread followed by a freshly prepared hot breakfast from our kitchen.

Mornings at San Gabriel are best enjoyed slowly, so come hungry and take your time.

Our animal encounters are part of the San Gabriel experience and are exclusively for guests staying with us.

There’s no need to book separately. Guests are welcome to join us for the morning animal feeding before breakfast or again at 16:00.

Come along, meet the animals, get your hands dirty and enjoy a little taste of everyday farm life.

As much as we love animals, we’re unfortunately not able to accommodate pets at San Gabriel.

We have our own animals living on the farm, and for their safety and wellbeing — as well as the comfort of all our guests — we ask that visiting pets stay at home.

There will still be plenty of four-legged friends to meet during your stay!
