Farm
Kalmoesfontein is
- the home of AA Badenhorst Family Wines, set against the slopes of the Paardeberg mountain.
- a working wine farm where you are surrounded by nature and plenty of opportunities for a good time
- versatile with diverse settings and locations available – from The Old House with a working kitchen, pizza oven, bar and two porches; to the wine and Caperitif cellars and a clearing around a maypole in the forest – to name a few.
- full of locals who can and will go to great creative and logistical lengths to make sure your event and/or stay exceeds your expectations.
We cook, decorate & forage, we do flowers and lights… We bake, we braai, we pour drinks - we check every detail and we do it all with Swartland style and hospitality.
Kalmoesfontein is also
a proper animal farm and childrens’ playground
See the small animal booklet - in your accommodation - for more information and fun stories. Then get your kids to explore with the treasure map and see how many of our furry and feathered friends they can find.
Unfortunately our horses are not for riding (they are plough horses who work hard in the vineyards).
and a good place to explore
We have re-opened an old Cape Epic route as a hiking trail that starts from The Old House - with a climb up to Die Bos - and crosses over four farms (Babylons Peak, Uitkyk, Lemoenfontein and obviously Kalmoesfontein). In total it is about 5.1km and takes 2hours at a very leisurely pace.
