The Ladybird Vineyards Lodge is situated in the middle of a sea of organic vines on our 50 hectare working wine farm on the slopes of the Simonsberg, one of South Africa's prime wine-growing areas for noble cultivars. The Simonsberg terroir with its lean deep red soils (Glovelly, Glenrosa) and cooling maritime winds from nearby False Bay is ideal for red wines of body and complexity.

Enjoy magnificent views onto Table Mountain, scenic vineyard walks, mountain bike tours, laze at the pool or taste our wines.

Our Lodge is conveniently located only 40 minutes from Cape Town, 15 minutes from Paarl and Stellenbosch and 20 minutes from Franschhoek. Both the Indian and the Atlantic Ocean beaches are only 45 minutes away. 

The history of the wine farm can be traced back until the year 1818. Originally named “Good Success” and owned by Dutchman Daniel Johannes van Ryneveld from Amsterdam, this vast farm extended to most of the catchment area in the valley enclosed by the Simonsberg, Kanonkop and Klapmuts.
