Enjoy the relaxed country atmosphere, yet be less than 10 minutes from Stellenbosch and 40 minutes from Cape Town. Originally a clay and stone structure housing stables, blacksmith room and coach house, the guest house offers modern comfort with old world charm. Decor is Cape Dutch with Victorian touches. Open fire in the diningroom 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 are occasionally seen on the farm and leopard sightings still occur – hence the use of the leopard on the Knorhoek Estate wine labels. We look forward to meeting you and introducing you to another facet of our beautiful country.
