Meet Marinda du Toit - the hands and heart behind our gardens at Spice Route 🌿

Walk with her through the blooms in season right now, and the little details you might miss on your own - 
like the tumbleweed installation she created from the side of the road and dressed with dried flowers, 
or the pruned bougainvillea she placed by the fireplace at our wine tasting room.

Imagine wrapping up the year with your work family, taking in this view.

Keep it relaxed with a European-inspired feast at La Grapperia. Think flammkuchen, pizza and platters.

It might feel early, but with year-end bookings picking up fast, now’s the time to secure a spot.
