Loungers, an outdoor shower and pool towels are provided for your convenience and comfort.
The villa provides safe off street parking, 24 hour service and security. The house is located in Green Point, a 5 minute walk to the beach promenade and a 15 minute walk to the new Cape Town stadium.

Spier Wine Tasting is open from 10:00 – 16:30 daily, with Sales from 09:00 -17:00. Contact us on +27 (021) 809 1143/7 or visit https://shop.spier.co.za/ to order wines online.
The Spier Elemental Garden is just a stone’s throw from Spier Farm Café and Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery – both much loved by families. It was conceptualised by landscape architect Ed Brooks and local landscape architect Danielle Croly, using mostly indigenous plants.
The garden is divided into quadrants representing the four elements: water, air, fire and earth. Intersecting all four is a spiralling waterway that symbolises the Fibonacci Sequence – a set of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Many patterns in nature follow this rule — such as the spiral shape of a seashell, the arrangement of leaves on a branch, or the petals of some flowers (such as daisies and sunflowers).
Features of the garden include a slide landscaped into earth mounds, a tunnel to crawl through, a Charl Conradie wind sculpture and a swing bridge. The water in the Water quadrant has been treated and is safe to splash about in – perfect for hot summer days.
The Elemental Garden is open daily until sunset; entry is complimentary.
Visit the Spier vineyards on the Segway PT (Personal Transporter), a two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle. The tour combines a beautiful glide through the farm with interesting insights about Spier’s ethical approach to farming and the environment.
Close to the Tasting Room, the Spier Craft Market showcases craftwork at eight custom-designed units – each manned by a cluster of artists. Wire and beadwork, 3D paintings, mosaics, items from recycled materials, jewellery, textiles, ceramics and woodcarving are all represented. Whether you want something simple like a key ring or fridge magnet, or a collectable art piece, there will be something to win your heart. Many of the artists work on site several days a week and would be happy to answer your questions and share the production process with you.
Spier has two audio tours you can listen to on your smartphone using the VoiceMap app (available on Google Play and the App Store):
· The Gables tour takes you around Spier’s historic farmyard, the Werf, offering a fictionalised account of the world of a Stellenbosch wine farm around 200 years ago. It was researched and written by acclaimed playwright, Brett Bailey. The narrator is Sannie de Goede, a slave woman on the Spier Estate in 1836, on the eve of her freedom.
· The hour-long Walk the Spier Farm tour will introduce you to the farm’s many facets: from art and wines to hospitality and heritage. You’ll also discover our efforts to forge a sustainable future, through biodynamic farming, the rehabilitation of fragile indigenous ecosystems and our eco-friendly wastewater plant and water-wise winery.
Discover the farm for free, using one of the Qhubeka Buffalo Bicycles located at the Spier Hotel entrance. These are sturdy and strong machines, designed for rough African terrain (and prove more than a match for our farm roads). Designed by Chicago-based World Bicycle Relief and assembled in South Africa, these bikes were named by the BBC as one of the 10 most beautiful bikes in the world.
Eminent landscape architect Patrick Watson and horticulturalist Wilton Sikhosana helped establish this beautiful walk. Situated on the South bank of the Eerste River, this walk offers an opportunity to explore the large variety indigenous plants growing on the farm.
Art is as much part of Spier as good food and fine wine. Spier believes that the visual arts are a powerful tool for transformation – sparking new insights and inspiring us to engage with our world in new and imaginative ways. Spier supports and stimulates the arts community in South Africa through projects that honour our African arts heritage and enriches its future.
Sculptures and artworks from the Spier Art Collection – one of the largest contemporary art collections in the country – can be found throughout the farm. Works are rotated every year to give exposure to as many artists as possible, and to keep the spaces fresh for staff and visitors. The art chosen for display aims to show the richness and diversity of the SA experience and artistic talent.
Healing and balance are the essence of the Spier experience, with a world-class winelands spa and wellness centre alongside our Cape Herbal Bath House, set in their wild Cape fynbos garden. The hotel spa is a natural sanctuary in the quiet heart of Spier hotel, where they use healing botanicals from the Cape Floral Kingdom - wild-harvested on the farm - as well as Vine Therapy herbal products, made by Spier exclusively for Spier. The wellness block has several treatment rooms, a mani-pedi lounge, sauna and steam room, a movement studio and gym
The Buzz Club is the in-house guest-exclusive kids club at Spier, holding a gentle space for 3- to 8-year-olds to experience the rhythms of farm life. Guides and carers lead seasonally relevant open-ended play and structured activities like collage-making, flower threading, bug spotting, leaf pressing and making art with found materials - so kids can get happily and safely immersed in nature.The Elemental Play Garden and open lawns on the Werf are also breezy, child-friendly places for playing the day away.
Our menus echo our eclectic South African food heritage, leaning into our Spier food philosophy: simple, seasonal, wine-friendly, organic wherever possible, and generous. Our chefs work with respect for the ingredients and their natural flavours. At our new Spier hotel, there are three new restaurants and two bars in the works: the Wine Gallery, the Main Restaurant for elegant evening dining, and our Garden Room for breakfasts and lunches. When the sun’s out, pull up a lounger at our heated infinity pool and bar, or catch the sunset from our rooftop tapas and cocktail bar, with its sweeping winelands mountain views.
Grab delicious ready-to-eat favourites or build your own picnic and enjoy the Werf and our farm’s other outdoor spaces. Before you head home, stock up your pantry and fridge. The delicious assortment on offer includes:
•Chef Hennie’s hassle-free and hearty frozen ready meals — including beef lasagna, bolognaise, bobotie and aubergine parmigiana
•Vadas’s famous sourdough bread, tarts, pies and pastries — all made with local, stoneground organic flour
•Farmer Angus’s flavoursome beef, pork and eggs — all from happy animals reared on Spier’s pastures the natural way: without growth hormones or routine antibiotics
•Freshly harvested fruit, veg and leaves are grown in the Spier Food Garden without artificial fertilisers or pesticides

Contact us on: +27 (021) 809 1172 or book via https://www.spier.co.za/food/picnics-at-spier
Vadas Smokehouse & Bakery offers dishes that embrace and showcase the quality of ethically and locally sourced ingredients. A passion for cooking with fire and smoke takes centre stage with a delicious range of pasture-reared meats (many of which are supplied by Spier’s Farmer Angus). The meat is smoked low and slow – at a low temperature for a long period of time – and this method allows lesser-known cuts of meat like beef brisket, pork neck and lamb shoulder to be used. There are delicious organic vegetarian options too.
The restaurant overlooks the rolling lawns and ancient oaks of Spier’s meticulously restored Werf – perfect for the kids to run wild on. Sharing is encouraged, with family-style platters that can be ordered for the table.
The bakery produces slow-fermented, fresh sourdough breads as well as a selection of seasonal fruit pies and pastries baked daily.
Opening hours: Vadas’s kitchen is open daily. Opening hours vary – please contact 021 8091137 or visit www.vadas.co.za to book.

Five Shy Meerkat tours
Five Shy Meerkat Tours – Original Tours Since 2004
The most popular of our activities we offer are without a doubt the daily wild habituated meerkat tours. These tours that commence only at sunrise are dependent on fair weather, since these little creatures will not venture outside their burrows on cold and rainy days. (No tours on rainy days & Christmas day).
Meerkats are part of the so-called Shy 5 which also includes the bat-eared fox, the aardvark, porcupine and aardwolf.
The meerkat tours last between 2-3 hours and booking is essential. Upon arrival at the meerkat burrows, guests are treated to a hot cup of coffee, after which they are issued with a lightweight aluminium chair to sit in while observing the meerkats as they come out of the burrow into the sunshine and then go about their daily routine of foraging and frolicking. These habituated wild animals are never fed or handled by humans.
Tours are presented by JD Glinister, and his team. It is a fantastic experience & unique privilege to get this close to these little creatures in the wild.
Tours starts at sun rise.
Meeting point 9km outside Oudtshoorn on the R62 - entrance to the right.
De Windpomp Restaurant
De Zeekoe has all the “ingredients” for a great restaurant: a beautiful setting with great views; skirted by an expanse of lawn and views of the Outeniqua mountains.
At De Zeekoe our food philosophy is using fresh, local ingredients and preparing them simply delicious and deliciously simple. Fresh herbs are picked daily from our garden and used in most of the dishes we serve. We prepare and produce our own olives and honey (when in season).
In the kitchen we prefer homemade products as far as possible. We make our own olive paste, bake bread and prepare our own sauces. The produce we can’t make or grow ourselves, we source locally. Since the area is known for its ostriches, we try and do our best to introduce this very healthy and delicious meat to our guests.
On this menu we strive to provide a balanced variety of meals, taking into account the dietary needs of all our guests. Included are gluten free vegetarian options made with superfood, that can replace any type of meat, even on a meat lovers plate! We continually test new recipes and new ideas to keep our menu fresh.

On arrival at the farm known as the 'Bat and the Boerboon' you have the rest of the day to relax at the pool, paddle the still waters in a canoe, or take a SUP, stroll through the fynbos thickets or simply sit and chill as your lunch is prepared.
Enjoy starters followed by a full, traditional South African braai (barbeque) and a sumptuous dessert to end this awesome meal. At your leisure, board the barge for another relaxing cruise back toward St Francis.

Clothing, Classrooms and Culture all in one day.For the last 4 years the Cape St Francis Resort has been taking guests on a wonderful tour of local community projects and businesses. These insightful excursions offer participants the opportunity to meet everyone involved and really get to know the what, who and why's of each individual business and the people involved.
Interact with local kids at a children's school at Talhado Montessori School which was started to address the needs of disadvantaged children in the area of St Francis Bay. Pre -primary education and a safe place to play, under adult care, were needed. Through 'Betty's Tour' you will meet these wonderful children and the teachers who care for them.
Meet some talented locals and maybe buy a garment or two - Although Nomvulas is still a small business it has developed a strong client base which keeps the pace of work consistent and provides a sustainable income for the staff.You will be given a personal tour by one of the knitters . The products produced are simply stunning and you will be spoilt for choice with the wide range of clothing and accessories.
Just 1 hours drive from Cape St Francis lies approximately 270 000 ha. of unspoiled, rugged mountainous terrain known as The Baviaanskloof.
The nature reserves breath-taking scenery includes sights of deep gorges, twisting streams and rivers and towering mountain cliffs. Open plateau and valleys are scattered throughout the area resulting in truly magnificent and varied scenic vistas. The highest point in the mountain ranges is the Cockscomb in the Groot Winterhoek range that rises to a height of 1 758 meters above sea level.
We highly recommend a visit to the Baviaanskloof and all it has to offer and now you can do it style:
Leaving in our fully air conditioned people carrier we will take you on a stunning journey through the citrus valley of Patensie.You’ll then continue your journey along a breathtaking mountain road with scenery you'll never forget to Poortjies. Various walks are available with incredible view points to really take in the true beauty of The Baviaanskloof.
Your lunch time stop will be the majestic setting of Rooihoek, deep within the Baviaans mountains. With a clean crisp river, perfect for swimming, and pristine white sands Rooihoek is the perfect location to rest and refuel.On your return you’ll also visit a typical farm stall called Padlangs where teas and coffees will be served.
Bunkers, lakes, long drives and beautifully tendered greens draw golfers to the area year after year!
Famously known for it's surfing, The St Francis Bay area also offers 2 outstanding, and very different, golf courses.
Firstly there is 'The St Francis Bay Golf Club' situated within the heart of the picturesque village of St Francis. This full 18 hole course offers challenging holes for all levels, from short lake holes to long driver par 5s. The 19th hole or club house offers a wide variety of snacks, meals and drinks with stunning views across the course. Sit back and watch as the golfers finish their round on the 18th.
The popularity of 'The St Francis Bay Golf Course' and the “Calamari Classic” (a three-day tournament run in September each year) in particular has been evident when one looks at the list of players frequenting the Club. This list is made up of resident members as well as up-country members and visitors who travel from all over the country and abroad to come and play at 'The St Francis Bay GC'
'St Francis Links' , the second course in St Francis Bay, may not have been grazing land for sheep and rabbits, but a natural course between the beach and arable land it is. Jack Nicklaus has had the pleasure of taking Mother Nature’s best piece of links land and signed his name to something unique. 'St Francis Links' challenges all who play it and rewards those who respect it.
Experience the natural beauty of Cape St Francis and the surrounding area via stunning reserve and coastal walks
Cape St Francis is home to no less than four beautiful nature reserves, Cape St Francis Nature Reserve, Seal Point Nature Reserve, Seal Bay Nature Reserve and Irma Booysen Flora Reserve.
These reserves offer a wide variety of walks suitable for all levels of fitness and experience. These walks, hikes and trails take you through natural coastal lands filled with indigenous plant and wild life.
What is so special about these areas?
South Africa is extraordinarily rich in plant and animal life and scientists have classified the different kinds of vegetation across the land. The southwestern Cape region is especially blessed in plant species, so much so that it is recognized as one of only six Plant or Floral Kingdoms in the world. Known as the Cape Floral Kingdom, it extends roughly from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town and inland, covering about 90,000 km2 and is home to 9,000 plant species, 70% of which grow nowhere else in the world (i.e. endemic to the Cape).
These plants are not scattered randomly across the landscape. Instead, from one hill to the next, different plant species grow together in their own communities. This means that the entire region is divided into these vegetation types, comprising plant species that grow in their particular area and nowhere else.
Our local vegetation type is the St Francis Fynbos/Thicket Mosaic and only grows on the lime-rich coastal sandy sites scattered between Tsitisikamma in the west and Port Elizabeth in the east. The conditions under which this vegetation type can grow is a relatively small area comprising 0.2% of the Cape region. Botanists from all over the world have visited the area discovering new species of plant life that are only found in this area.
Keep those eyes peeled for wild life
Look out for bushbuck, grysbok, common duiker, bushpig, porcupine, vervet monkey, caracal, yellow and grey mongoose and otters. You can sometimes see the rare African black oystercatcher and occasionally an endangered Jackass penguin. Bottlenose and common dolphins are often seen offshore and, from August to December, southern right whales may be spotted.
There are many other activities on offer such as whale and dolphin excursions, surf lessons with video, a hit with children, bicycles for hire , bird watching, canal and river cruises, kite surfing , horse riding , deep sea fishing out of Port St Francis on Fiona M.
All bookable through Resort Adventures.
Whether you are a foodie , interested in sea creatures or our local community the unique Calamari Tasting is a must on any itinerary.
Port St Francis is the only privately owned working harbour in South Africa and home to the
squid ( ink fish ) industry. Over 60 freezing vessels come and go for 8 months of the year, leaving for up to 21 days with crews of between 14 and 26 to find what is known locally as Chokka.
So combine a beach walk or Betty’s Tour with a calamari tasting where you can hear about the sustainability of the industry , the method of catching and showing guests the raw product and then the tasting itself, freshly prepared. It showcases not only the difference between the local and imported calamari but also the elements of the fish.
A must do, a unique once off opportunity to taste the best local calamari our country has to offer to appreciate why it is called “white gold”.
Whether it's a quick snack before hitting the beach or a full 3 course fine dining experience, the award winning pool side Joe Fish restaurant and bar is the perfect place to sit back, unwind and enjoy the extensive food menu and wine list.
Situated around the inviting swimming pool, Joe Fish restaurant and bar at Cape St Francis Resort offers seating for up to 110 guests. Diners can expect to choose from an array of tempting dishes such as the famous calamari (which has won awards), marinated ribs, perfectly cooked fillet steak, Joe's Hake and chips, and for the very hungry why not try the tasty crispy eisbein?
If you're after a snack Joe's snack baskets are the perfect option offering calamari, ribs and hake bites all accompanied with chips.The impressive wine list offers reds, whites, rose and champagne to suit all budgets. A great choice is Joe's own wine (which has also won awards).
Whether you want to eat in the restaurant, pub or by the pool (there is free live entertainment every Sunday), Joe Fish is an excellent, child friendly environment to relax, chat and enjoy some great food and wine. Joe’s bar with it’s cosy, relaxing environment and roaring log fire offers 2 flat screen televisions making it the perfect place to watch all the latest sport!
There’s a new spot in town and its creating waves for locals and guests alike
Freshly ground coffee is our speciality
The latest addition to Joe Fish is 'The Coffee Shack'. With comfy sofas, warm wooden surrounds and over looking the swimming pool, The Coffee Shack offers a wide selection of coffees, teas, home bakes and light meals. Using 100% Arabica beans, the trained baristas create the perfect coffees including favourites such as Americano, Cappuchino and Macciato. The reason for using this particluar type of coffee bean is that is an African fair trade venture ensuring all people involved are paid fairly.
For the non coffee drinker, a great selection of flavoured teas to choose from are available, and why not treat yourself to a slice of home made cake to go with it!
Just across the road from the Cape St Francis Resort in Da Gama Road this new, fresh Restaurant and Bar is ready to cater to all… An all new menu of gourmet burgers and pizzas, fresh salads and weekly board specials ensures that your taste buds continue to tingle. To keep the young ones entertained we’ve added a fountain block, a Wendy house full of fun and a Jumping Castle. For the adults we have a cocktail sundowner deck, beer on tap and a selection of Gins. While walking the garden make sure to visit the Plant Market and take home a little indigenous plant or two for your own garden. It’s all happening at Full Stop Café, so come get stuck with us…
