Created within a restored Cape Dutch farm dating back to the late 17th century, Babylonstoren is the brain child of South African telecoms magnate Koos Bekker and the former editor of ELLE Decor, Karen Roos, who opened it in 2010.
The 200-hectare property is a working farm with a hotel, spa, two restaurants and winery, and is known locally and among well-heeled international visitors for its emphasis on luxury, comfort and “farm-to-fork” approach to food.
