Stillwater Sanctuary

Stillwater Sanctuary is tucked away in the heart of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, offering a peaceful retreat where luxury meets the natural beauty of the Western Cape.

The guest house blends a farmhouse-textured exterior with elegant, minimal interiors—five beautifully appointed bedrooms designed for comfort and calm. Thoughtful details throughout reflect a commitment to sustainability: solar panels, borehole water, locally crafted furniture from Cape Town, and bespoke artwork by local artists.

Guests can unwind in the sauna, pool, or jacuzzi after a day exploring the valley's acclaimed wine farms, or simply settle into the stillness that gives this place its name. The Hemel-en-Aarde—"Heaven and Earth"—is renowned for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and some of South Africa's finest tasting rooms are just minutes away.

Stillwater Sanctuary is a place to slow down, reconnect, and savour the quiet luxury of one of the Cape's most beautiful valleys.
