Roggeland Country House

Driving through some of the loveliest winelands in the world, a mood of tranquil sets in. On arrival in Roggeland, the picturesque setting and warm welcome from the Minkley family are the start of your pampered stay. An 18th-century Cape Dutch masterpiece, the manor house of Roggeland is a National Monument. The romantic atmosphere of old Cape hospitality is enhanced by gleaming yellowwood finishes, high ceilings, cosy bedrooms and fresh flowers. The cuisine is inspired by the regional produce of Paarl and vegetables and herbs are grown in Roggeland's own gardens. Roggeland Country House is an exclusive hotel, accommodating only 21 people in spacious Cape-style bedrooms with sizeable en-suite bathrooms. Guests are treated to wine and cuisine carefully selected for each day, reflecting the produce of the region.

Winelovers who wish to explore the wine routes of Paarl, Wellington, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are well placed for this at Roggeland. In this part of the Cape you'll discover the wine, the food, the scenic splendour and the richness of history, art and country hospitality that is the 'Boland' experience.

Playing a game of golf, viewing a flock of 500 flamingoes at the bird sanctuary, horse riding, sightseeing via steam train or picnicking on a scenic trail . . . these are just some of our leisure options.
