Palmiet Valley Wine & Country Estate/Winelands. Nestled deep in the heart of the Cape Winelands, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of austere mountains and mirror-like lakes, Palmiet Valley Wine & Country Estate awaits - a sanctuary of restfulness and genteel hospitality.

The typical white gabled walls of classic cape Dutch architecture bring a quiet elegance to the sprawling homestead, while grounds carpeted with a profusion of jacaranda and lavender segue into lush vineyards that stretch to the foot of the distant mountain. The nine en-suite rooms and two cottages are more of the same, with charmingly old-fashioned furnishings and fittings, such as polished brass taps and marble-topped dressers. Individually decorated, each room or cottage boasts a unique accessory or tow, giving it a character of its own - stand-out pieces include an antique safe, a 1920s travelling suitcase and a period copper kettle.

The surrounding towns of Franchhoek and Stellenbosch in particular are renowned for the quality of their wines. Golf courses are scattered through the region for those who fancy a day well-spent in 18 holes of verdant bliss. For the adventurous, various choices are available at different levels, ranging from leisurely walks to mountain biking and adseiling. For some urban excitement, Cape Town, V&A Waterfront, and the various Cape attractions and beaches are within half an hour's drive.

Palmiet Valley Country & Wine Estate is especially popular for weddings, and it's easy to see why, with the lush landscape around and pristine white homestead itself a confection of pure newlywed romance.
