Blaauwklippen Manor

Out of the ashes of loss, we will rise again with renewed determination, rebuilding not just historic structures, but the stories they hold dear as well.

On 7 April, Stellenbosch’s oldest wine farm, dating back to 1682, was struck by a devastating fire due to gale force winds.

Our historic Jonkershuis, built in 1720, the Manor House, built in 1760 & finished in 1789, as well as the Cathedral built in 2018, a popular wedding venue, suffered significant damage.

The burden of devastation is lightened by the gratitude that no lives were lost during this unimaginable event.

For now, the accommodation section of the estate will be closed to the public, but the good news is that the rest of the facilities were left unscathed. The Tasting House, De Blaauwe Kitchen, Bike park and all other activities have reopened to the public on Wednesday, 10 April and we look forward to welcoming guests back to the Estate.

We would like to thank every guest and supplier who chose to make use of our exquisite accommodation and events venue over the last few years.
