the estate

Three centuries of Cape terrior

Kleinrivier was established in 1709 by Huguenot settlers who recognised the valley's exceptional microclimate — cool mountain air drifting down the Helderberg, and soils of red clay loam over granite that coax singular depth from every grape.

Today the restored Cape Dutch homestead hosts just six guests at a time, ensuring complete privacy and a level of attention that cannot be scaled.

“Kleinrivier is unlike anything else in the Winelands. The silence, the wine, the care shown by every member of staff — it restores you in a way that no spa retreat can replicate.”
