Images: A Wes Anderson-esque retreat with a mountain backdrop.
One of the Cape’s oldest wine estates, dating back to 1685, Boschendal flaunts spectacular surroundings: with dramatic mountain vistas wherever you find yourself on the expansive property.
It’s here, tucked among lush fynbos, olive trees and boulders on the rustic side of the Simonsberg Mountains that the recently introduced (and entirely independent) Camp Canoe glamping escape takes centre stage.
The luxury tents are far removed from the foot traffic of the nearby estate and guests are encouraged to switch off, unwind and reconnect with nature. Waking at sunrise to the sound of birdsong from the comfort of a sumptuous king-size bed, before embarking on a day of wine-tasting and epicurean experiences is a special kind of luxury.
Stay the night
The seven, sizeable tents are generously spaced apart, offering privacy and fuss-free laidback living. Each unit overlooks the sparkling dam, with lush flora encasing the exterior walls and a wood-fired hot tub elevating the experience to extraordinary.
- 7 luxury tents, each sleeping 2 adults (children on request)
- king-size bed
- en suite bathroom with a shower
- indoor seating area
- viewing deck with outdoor seating
- private hot tub and hammocks
- complimentary wifi
It’s definitely an experience to add to the bucketlist!
