Win an Overnight Escape at Brookdale Manor House Worth R5 200
***Winner announced! Congrats to Joanne Le Roux who won this fabulous prize.
By Inside Guide • 18 July 2022
In a valley encircled by the Klein Drakenstein Mountains, Brookdale Estate offers guests the proverbial slice of heaven. It’s a place to slow down and enjoy the pastoral rhythms of the seasons, with rambles in the orchards, vineyard picnics and trails through fynbos completing the bucolic fantasy.
Country elegance

Apart from its utterly spectacular setting (which is reason enough to visit), Brookdale is all about creature comforts and little luxuries. The Cape Dutch-style Manor House is the epitome of Winelands living, with a pool house and several courtyards and terraces from which to soak up the spectacular views of sprawling vines, flourishing orchards, undulating multi-hued hills and dramatic mountains.



The six suites are lofty and elegantly dressed in a mix of contemporary and period furnishings and can be booked individually or on an exclusive-use basis (a popular option for families, corporates or groups of friends travelling together).
Five-star dining

Meals at Brookdale are exceptional – served by a private chef in a different location each day. From the beautifully conceived and executed dishes to the superb service and impeccable setting, the plates are flavourful and delicious, with ample variation and surprising ingredients to have you rapt.

While you’re there

The estate offers a place to unwind, relax and simply just be, taking dips in the spectacular pool or snuggling up with a good book in one of the lounges or the hammock. Pampering in-room massages can be booked and a hosted wine tasting of the estate’s two ranges, Brookdale and Mason Road, is a must.

Beyond the gates lie the Paarl, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Wellington wine routes, with a myriad estates, restaurants, galleries and boutiques. There are also nature trails, golf courses and activities nearby, with Paarlberg Reserve being a locals’ favourite.
If this sounds like your idea of a blissful Winelands getaway, enter our competition below and stand a chance of winning a one-night stay for two, including a delicious breakfast.
