Heavenly honeymooning at the opulent Quoin Rock

Quoin Rock Wine Estate may be known for its exceptional wine and cuisine, but one of the defining features of this award-winning estate is an opulent Manor House offering spectacular views that stretch as far as Lions Head and False Bay.

This exclusive private residence is situated at 400m above sea level and is thought to be the highest residential property in the Western Cape. Surrounded by manicured lawns, edged by captivating beds of roses, the Manor House setting is nothing short of exceptional. Framed by rolling vineyards and distant mountain peaks, guests here are entranced with heavenly views enhanced by brilliant, balmy sunsets.

On par with luxury villas popular for family travel, this Cape Dutch-styled home caters for the top-end international market. Its lavish styling includes imported Italian furniture, crystal chandeliers and antique cabinets. Dutch finishes are offset by the work of some of South Africa’s finest artists, including a piece by sculptor Joanne Doyle. Well-situated in a totally secluded part of the estate, the calling cards of the Manor House are exclusivity and ultimate privacy, making this perfect for multi-generational family vacations.

We offer different packages – bed and breakfast, or full board,” Hospitality Manager Lana Maydew explains. “We have a butler and manager, so guests always have someone looking after them. It’s fit for a king.”
