Architecture Design - Old Farmhouse Converted Into A Timeless Modern Guest House .
This lovely old estate with its many layers of history remains a working farm, but it has also been transformed into a unique country getaway.
There are cottage suites that provide five-star comfort and an innovative restaurant supplied by a magnificent garden, where guests can also enjoy the luxury of picking their own fruit and vegetables.
Babylonstoren has a rare integrity about it. The historic werf, with its handsome buildings and pleasing spatial geometry, is among the best preserved in the Cape.
Around the H-form house, storerooms, gabled henhouse and pigeon loft, wine cellar, stables and workshops provide an insight into a self-sufficient rural past.
There are wild olives and oaks that may be nearly as old as the farm itself.
Below the encircling ringmuur flows a stream from the Simonsberg, the lifeblood of the farm for more than 300 years.
