 ABOUT

Knorhoek Guest House
is one of the most beautiful privately owned (4 generations) wine farms in the Western Cape, offering the unique combination of accommodation, wine making, wine tasting, wedding venue, seasonal meals and the tranquil beauty of mountains, vineyards, oak trees and gardens. Enjoy the relaxed country atmosphere of the Knorhoek Guest House while still being less than 10 minutes away from Stellenbosch and 40 minutes from Cape Town.

Originally a clay and stone structure housing stables, blacksmith room and coach house, the Knorhoek Guest House offers modern comfort with old world charm. Decor is Cape Dutch with Victorian touches. Open fire in the dining room for cold winter mornings and hearty Cape breakfasts on the patio in summer.

Watch the mountain change from pink to purple or just savour the hooting of the owls as you prepare for bed.

The interesting and unusual name “Knorhoek” is derived from a phrase contained in an 18th century document, “de plaats waar de leeuwen knorren”, literally translated as the place where lions growl. This gives an indication how wild the environment was at that time. Feline predators scaled the high kraal walls at night and preyed on domestic livestock. Caracal and genet were occasionally seen on the farm and leopard sightings still occur – hence the use of the leopard on the Knorhoek Estate wine labels.

Knorhoek Guest House now also offers potential guests the option of 2 beautiful self catering cottages. Accommodation around Stellenbosch could not be more unique as Knorhoek has an amazing setting. Not only does Knorhoek offer beautiful guest accommodation. Knorhoek is also proud to introduce their newly renovated function and wedding venue and restaurant, Towerbosch. Towerbosch recaptures everything magical, original and wholesome. It is the perfect Stellenbosch wedding venue. Your Stelenbosch wedding could not be more magical that right here at Knorhoek’s very own Towerbosch function venue
