Nestled in a tranquil valley near Bainskloof Pass in Wellington, South Africa, The Doolhof is an award-winning wine estate offering luxury accommodation and exceptional hospitality. The property spans 380 hectares of vineyards, forest, and fynbos, surrounded by three dramatic mountain ranges and features the Kromme River running through the estate.

The Cape Dutch Manor House features six luxuriously appointed rooms, complemented by a separate thatched cottage for additional privacy. Each room is individually designed, combining Cape Dutch elegance with modern comfort and luxury amenities. The Loft Rooms are accessed via a spiral staircase, which may present challenges for guests with mobility concerns.

The estate offers an array of dining experiences, including gourmet breakfasts, picnic options, and sophisticated four-course evening meals. The resident chef creates Cape-style dishes with European influences, emphasizing locally sourced ingredients. Mila at Doolhof provides lunch service, and guests can enjoy complimentary afternoon snacks and sunset canapés.

The Doolhof is also a sought-after wedding venue, accommodating up to 120 guests in its exclusive setting. The property includes a Honeymoon Cottage housed in one of the estate's most historic buildings, and additional accommodation is available through six AfriCamps "glamping" tents within walking distance.

The estate's location provides easy access to the Cape's major attractions, with Wellington just 5 minutes away and the wine routes of Paarl, Franschhoek, and Stellenbosch within 30 minutes' drive. Cape Town and its international airport are accessible within 45 minutes, while various historical towns and scenic mountain passes are nearby for day trips.

Activities available on and around the estate include wine tasting, hiking, mountain biking, e-bike rentals, horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, quad biking, and golf. The property maintains exclusivity by being open only to in-house guests, with site inspections available strictly by appointment.
