Experience the perfect blend of history and modern luxury at Vendôme Manor House—where past and present unite for an unforgettable escape.
Nestled in the picturesque Valley of Paarl, Vendôme Manor House offers a serene retreat on a working wine and fruit farm with deep historical roots, dating back to 1690 when French Huguenots first settled here. The building, originally constructed in 1898, has been thoughtfully renovated to reflect the rich Huguenot heritage with a modern, luxurious interior that exudes charm and comfort.
Surrounded by the majestic Paarl and Drakenstein Mountains, our guest house provides a tranquil base with easy access to the renowned Paarl Wine Valley, world-class wineries, and exceptional dining. The original Cape Dutch main house sits within a peaceful garden, complete with a spacious stoep under a large oak tree—ideal for unwinding.
Whether exploring nearby hiking and cycling trails or relaxing by the pool and garden, Vendôme is perfect for both rest and adventure.
Just a short stroll away, Salmon and Brine offers world-class seafood, sushi, and Japanese fusion dining, perfectly paired with our own Vendôme wines.
