The Silo

The Silo Stay — Romantic Farm Escape in Malmesbury, South Africa

2 guests · 1 bedroom · 1 bed · ½ bath

Tucked against the gentle slopes of the Paardeberg Mountains, this beautifully restored farm Silo invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and savour the stillness of Swartland wine country. Just an hour from Cape Town, it’s the perfect romantic hideaway — where the sky stretches wide, the air smells of vine and soil, and the only sounds are birdsong and the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze.

🌿 About the Space:
