Stay at Le Manoir de Brendel
Manor House Suites
Stay in the manor house itself, with suites opening onto the garden or set above it on the upper floor.
Pool Side Suites
Spacious suites facing the pool, each with a private terrace, two bathrooms, and a long view across the vineyards to the mountains.
Private Cottages
Set apart from the manor house, each cottage has its own entrance, a kitchen and space for families or groups of friends.
An Estate with Character
Five-star comfort with the warmth of a family home. Every room and cottage at Le Manoir de Brendel is individually designed, so every stay feels a little different.
Life on the Estate
Taste
Breakfast on the terrace, followed by a tasting of the estate’s own wines.
Move
Tennis in the morning, a swim afterwards and quiet paths leading through the vines.
Unwind
Long afternoons beside the pool, a book in the garden. Nowhere else you need to be.
Our Wines
The vineyards lie at the foot of the Franschhoek mountains, where every grape is picked by hand. From them comes the Brendel range, made in a tradition that goes back centuries.
The estate grows eight varieties: Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chardonnay among the whites, with Shiraz, Pinotage, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in red.
Events
Weddings
Exchange vows in the estate chapel, then celebrate among the vineyards with the people you love most.
Vow Renewals
Return to the promises you made, with a blessing in the chapel and dinner under the oaks.
Conferences
Uninterrupted sessions around a long table, with the vineyards outside and the cellar waiting afterwards.
Private Celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries and every reason to gather, hosted with warmth and planned with care.
Venues
A Place to Remember
Le Manoir’s columbarium sits in the quiet part of the estate, close to the chapel. Each niche holds the ashes of someone who chose to remain in the peaceful valley of Franschhoek.
What Our Guests Say
The hospitality deserves special mention: the team was consistently friendly, attentive, and helpful. Breakfast was also superb and served in a stunning setting.
Overall, a truly special place that we would gladly return to. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, nature, and the beauty of the Franschhoek Valley.
Easy to Reach, Far from the Everyday
