Intimate, Exclusive, Authentic
It’s rare to find a country retreat as unique and authentic as Penhill Farm. A scenic 75-minute drive from Cape Town, you’ll spot its towering twin palms long before the outcrop of white-washed buildings set on endless emerald lawns comes into view.
This stunning oasis set in the historic Nuy Valley offers guests a perfect escape into indulgent Karoo living.
Relax On Your Own Terms
Our guests return often to enjoy the peace, tranquillity and solitude that can be found at Penhill Farm.
Families appreciate the safe, wide-open spaces for children of all ages to enjoy.
While away your time drifting on The Manor House dam on a canoe, or fishing, or both. Hiking and Mountain Biking is always a good option for the more adventurous, and our legendary tennis court is a firm favourite for all.
The farm has a Manor House sleeping eight and four cottages sleeping four, each with its own pool, except for the Granges which both have a hot tub. The houses can be booked separately, however, the farm is perfectly suited for gathering large groups of loved ones for family reunions, milestone birthday celebrations, anniversary parties, weddings, corporate retreats and the like. In order to book the whole farm please feel to e-mail us at reservations@penhill.co.za.
There is plenty to keep all generations active and happy at Penhill from the dams and pools for fishing, canoeing or simply splashing about in, the best tennis court in the Karoo, boules, croquet, not to mention trails for gentle walks, more strenuous hikes and several fantastic mountain bike trails leading directly from the farm. While there are many delightfully picturesque spots where everyone can gather for meals, afternoon tea or sundowners, there’s also more than enough space on the 3 500 acre property with its beautifully-tended garden to find quiet time alone with a book. Where better for a nap than propped up under a tree beside the dam?
