Review of the online store, not the hotel!
The most wonderful delivery service by Donovan, courteous and on point, delightful produce, absolutely exquisite Cruffins, quite possibly the first pastry my husband and I agree on! What a formidable online shopping experience, and what a glorious surprise on delivery!

Beautiful place with a stunning vineyard.
They have an entry fee for a 12-month period, which is definitely worth paying. They sell their own wines, which are made from the fruits growing in their vineyard. Stunning restaurant and many other places to experience. It is definitely a place to visit.

Beautiful place with beautiful nature. We went for the olive oil and balsamic tasting. It was the best! Highly recommend. We saw them decanting the balsamic which is once a year!!! We tasted and made our own blend. We went to the greenhouse for lunch and it was also great. Ordered burger, fried potatoes and potato gnocchi. The wine was great too. We walked around the farm and had a blast tasting different berries and picking small things to try around. A must go place in your visit to cape town.
What an excellent display of the best South Africa has to offer to tourists and locals. Well kept gardens, orchids and pathways.
The staff is friendly and professional. The annual fee for locals is so affordable. Every time I visit there is a new beautifully designed and cleverly thought through section to the garden. Family friendly environment. The kids love the interactive reptile sculpture display where they can play in the water. The water channels brings so much joy. Coffee and baked goods at the sweet and ice cream shop are delicious. Fresh produce from the farm shop is of excellent quality. Food in the greenhouse restaurant is a little expensive but again so delicious.
My favourite is the quiet pathway through the forest area following the stream further away from the huzzle and buzzle of everyday farm life.

I came to visit the "farm" as highly recommended and the place is amazing, I was also recommended to try the restaurant but this was well below average, the 🍔 burget looked excellent but we asked for rear cooked and was well done, both of them. The place is a must as this is very relaxing, see many different gardens and water in, the ice-cream were very good and we had no time for wine test, so even the food was not OK the place deserves a second chance. I did not like that even for going to restaurant you need to pay 100 rands fee but...
This is the most stunning place in Franschhoek! The garden has some charming treasures that lurk hidden in the ground! The farm stall is just splendid, always fresh product & very friendly staff! The staff all around are super pleasant to talk with, couldn’t be any better! This is my go-to place while I am out in the wine lands.
Fantastic delivery service: gorgeous free range produce, friendly professional service, beautifully curated and packaged goods, great tracking app. So appreciated the gifted Heritage Day borewors! Suggestion: invite people to recycle the jars and get them picked up on delivery? They’re so beautiful and branded but go in my recycle bin!
In a good way, stepping into Babylonstoren felt like discovering the Disneyland of wine estates. Each corner revealed charming boutique stores and immaculately tended gardens. The wine tasting was a journey of flavours, enriched immensely by the genuine warmth and stories shared by Jamie Lee and Zanthé. Their passion and expertise shine brightly, making them true treasures in this enchanting setting.
Can genuinely stay this was the best hotel I've ever stayed in. It's absolutely stunning. The rooms are fully stocked daily with fresh fruit, wine, and some other surprises. The food throughout the property is farm to table and you can taste how fresh it is.
I would definitely recommend that travelers staying at Babylonstoren dedicate one day to their onsite activities! We very much enjoyed the Olive Oil tour, Cellar tour, bread baking, garden walk, mountain drive, and more! Also, Italian night at the Bakery was spectacular!

Fantastic place. For a small entry fee you are able to take a stroll through the historic farm and gardens. Lots of artisan shops to see how things are made and buy produce. On a nice sunny day you could walk for hours through the gardens and just enjoy. Highly recommended.
I visited the farm it feels like you are in one of those Hollywood movies filmed in Africa. So beautiful freshe produce especially there Orange and macadamia nuts. Stunning landscape very clean. Strongly recommend visiting the farm and don’t miss there ice cream.
Babylonstoren is definitely one for the books! I’ve read a few reviews saying that there was an unexpected entrance fee to the premises, although we were not charged upon arrival, an R80 entrance fee is completely justifiable. This farm is beautiful beyond measure, exceptionally well maintained and offers an abundance of fresh produce from fruits and veg, delicious juices, signature wines as well as other small healthy snacks to take home. The granola we took home was surprisingly very spicy with hints of masala, weird for a breakfast option - it has quite a kick. There are lovely restaurants and wine tastings and the Greenhouse restaurant has a great menu! We initially came for a massage which was amazing but we left with so many other amazing memories too. Will definitely be back very soon! OH and PS. The donkeys DO bite :/
Breakfast at the Babel restaurant is a real treat. We keep coming back for special occasions because although it is not cheap it is well worth the expense. Great seasonal food, more than enough to satisfy, in a beautiful place with excellent friendly service. Finished off with a stroll through the gardens. I can't think of a better way to start the day or to celebrate an occasion.
