At the entrance of what feels like heaven, aptly named Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven-and-Earth) Valley, a place of tranquillity exists. Fringed by a backdrop of mountains, Glenfruin rests with an idyllic river streaming through it. Majestic old trees line the riverbanks, creating an enchanting air and welcoming shade for strolls and picnics. Benches along the riverbanks allow seating from where to take in the moment and gaze at the natural beauty.

Abundant in nature, the area is home to small buck, mongooses, meerkats, porcupines, tortoises and a profusion of birdlife. Glenfruin is also an equestrian’s paradise, with livery stables neighbouring the estate. A tranquil ambience, this suburb is safe with remote access, so you can enjoy carefree strolls around the property. Stands are large and there are only a select number of homes in the area, allowing for space and privacy.

Not only are you a stroll from a vibey brewery with a beer garden, coffee shops and the Wine Village with an impressive range of wines, you are also at the gateway to a valley of winefarms that produce acclaimed divine wine. The wonderful maritime climate in the area produces beautifully slow-ripened grapes and consequent accoladed wines. The terroir of this region is known for producing spectacular Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. Mountain biking enthusiasts will love the trails that wind through the valley, and foodies will love the culinary delights that many of the wine farms have to offer.
