Stellenbosch weekend stay at Hawksmoor House

Win Stellenbosch Wine Festival tickets and a luxury stay at Hawksmoor House.

With the Stellenbosch Wine Week and Festival coming up, it's the perfect time to escape to the winelands.

One lucky couple can win tickets to the festival and a two-night stay at Hawskmoor House.

Hawksmoor House is an historic Cape Dutch country retreat set on the 220-hectare wine farm, Matjieskuil, near Stellenbosch.

Meticulously restored, and beautifully decorated with exquisite antiques and modern touches, it is set amidst vineyards with distant views of Table Mountain.

The main house has five guest rooms - each with a terrace. There are also 9 rooms situated in annexes built on the original foundations of the farm (eg. slave cottages).

Enjoy spectacular sunsets and later, relax by the fireplace with a good book and a glass of wine in the farmhouse’s drawing room, complete with an honesty bar, i-pod docking station, internet access, books and DVDs.

Conveniently located a 25 minute drive away from the buzzing Cape Town centre, the estate is quiet and serene.

The stay at Hawksmoor is valued at R1 000 per room per night and Includes breakfast and afternoon tea & cake.
