In review: Staying at historic D'Olyfboom guest farm in Paarl
This heritage working guest farm offers easy access to activities and restaurants yet is nestled amongst vineyards to give it that out of city feeling.
I recently spent a weekend there courtesy of Cape Country Routes and loved the fact that it felt remote enough for full R&R mode to be activated yet was just a quick drive away from many great Paarl attractions and restaurants such as the Taal Monument, Paarl Rock and the well-loved eatery and artisan shop hub - the Spice Route Destination.
The five guest suites offer a comfortable modern farmhouse aesthetic with all the usual amenities one would need such as a coffee machine, aircon, Wi-Fi, TV and bar fridge as well as a patio overlooking the stunning and uninterrupted views of the Paarl Mountains and beautiful vineyards.
The spacious en suite bathroom is a Pinterest dream come to life and features a dreamy tub, generous shower and doors leading out onto a back patio with views of the pool and beautiful gardens.
Breakfast is included in the stay and is offered at The Well restaurant on the estate. Expect a choice of continental, traditional fry-up and fluffy omelettes on offer alongside fresh juice, toast as well as coffee and tea.
D’Olyfboom is a perfect accommodation base to do some Paarl exploring if based in the area for a night or more and also offers a great wedding and conference venue option.
