And just like that… the tent is gone and everything feels light again!

The amount of extra, natural light flooding in is just magical.

And then pudding. Five of them, in fact. Malva, Cape Brandy, Roly Poly, baked sago and caramel apple tart with homemade custard and cream, naturally.

All you need to do is decide who you're bringing.

The braai is back on at The Homestead this Heritage Day.

We’re talking Pickled Fish Bunny Chow to start, Beef Oxtail Dumpling Potjie, lamb boerewors, spatchcock chicken off the braai and an entire line-up of old-school puddings and homemade custard to finish.

Thursday, 24 September is looking particularly delicious. If you’d rather spend Heritage Day eating than standing behind your own braai, we’ll happily do the cooking.

🍴 R590 per person | R250 per child under 10 years old.

The Grace Conservatory springs into new life! 🌿

In the soil they go! Potted greens and garden beds going down all around the glasshouse. There’s something so satisfying about watching a building stop looking like a construction site and start feeling like a real garden venue.

Site inspections and wedding bookings are open, come see how the garden is taking shape.
