Johannesdal

Prepare to be blown away. Originating from a vivid dream, held by a group of friends, to create an exclusive destination in outstanding surroundings to enjoy with others, Johannesdal achieves exactly this and is a South African hidden gem.

Nestled in the magnificent mountain range of Banhoek Valley is this farmhouse turned leading venue for holiday-makers and gatherings, boasting simplistic yet modern and luxurious design. But it’s the outdoors and gardens that really make this special place. Cleverly being developed to blend with the interior are sweeping green lawns and gardens featuring exotic African planting and styles. Relax by the tranquil Lily ponds in the secluded Waterlily garden, enjoy the refreshing citrus scent of the beautiful Lemon orchards and marvel at the breathtaking views from the two spacious garden terraces.

Every October, members of the public are welcomed into the gardens during Garden Week. Johannesdal is also home to a huge hall with floor-to-ceiling windows and a soundproof reception area which are available to hire.
