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 :/
