Food is farm sourced and prepared with creativity and experience in a variety of styles.
Fynbos Estate offers a range of facilities for those staying on the farm. These include a raku fireplace in winter and a swimming pool under the mountain in summer, wine tasting and wine making, a large domestic library, satellite TV. Exploration of the farm and mountain by foot give visitors a chance to enjoy virtually pristine fynbos vegetation and indigenous birds and animals.
Cycling up the mountain road is a hit with the fit and a high clearance vehicle will take visitors up the mountain by road where they will be greeted by spectacular views from the top of Dragonridge and Sonkop.
Made under the Dragonridge label, our wines are handcrafted in the old traditional way mostly from Rhone cultivars grown on the farm. Winemaking getaways during February and March involve groups of friends or colleagues in the making of the wine hands on.
Wines have done well and are available from the farm are delivered in the Cape Town vicinity (free of charge) and elsewhere in the country with delivery costs.
All in all, Fynbos Estate is a very special but unpretentious place of great beauty. It offers wonderful food and wine, comfortable accommodation and a relaxed and easy atmosphere. We are also committed to keeping our prices reasonable.

We were upgraded to a larger cottage which was very specia and spacious! It was very quiet over Christmas, we literary did not see anybody for days. We did connect as we left with some of the people.
