Hugged by the tranquil valley and surrounded by natural beauty, Brookdale is a sprawling country estate with two premium accommodation offerings, The Manor House and The Owners' Lodge.

The Owners' Lodge offers a tranquil retreat for up to 8 guests; featuring 4 en-suite bedrooms, spacious living areas and a stylish entertainment area flowing into a pool.
As a working wine farm, here imagination meets immense skill through an exploration of curiosity. Brookdale Estate is also home to a Tasting Room, Bistro and a state-of-the-art Wine Cellar, which overlooks vineyards. Here, Mediterranean varieties, a unique Paarl terroir and innovative winemaking techniques are brought together under the visionary hand of owner, Tim Rudd and our dynamic winemaking duo, Xander Sadie and Shanice du Preez.

Accommodation Options
The Manor House
The Manor House has 5 Manor Suites and 1 Vineyard Suite (located adjacent to the main house) accommodating 12 adults and 2 children. These suites can be booked separately for a romantic stay, or as a 6-bedroom exclusive-use Villa in the Winelands, ideally suited for friends and family.
Discover the vineyards with leisurely walks and picnics, enjoy sundowners overlooking the valley and sit back and simply enjoy the peace and quiet. Our perfect location means you are close enough to explore the best of the Cape Winelands whilst being far away enough to fully enjoy the tranquility of a private villa stay with the services of a private chef and house manager. The ultimate getaway to the Winelands.
The Owners' Lodge
The Owners’ Lodge offers a curated, exclusive-use escape for friends and families seeking privacy, space and understated luxury in the heart of the Winelands.
Positioned on a secluded hill on this working wine estate, The Owners’ Lodge is framed by sweeping vineyard vistas and the dramatic silhouettes of the Drakenstein Mountains. Designed for up to eight guests, this contemporary retreat embodies refined simplicity, thoughtful design and the rare luxury of complete seclusion.
With four elegantly appointed en-suite bedrooms and generous, light-filled living spaces, The Owner’s Lodge is conceived as a luxury home rather than a hotel, inviting guests to settle in,
slow down and reconnect. A stylish entertainment area with built-in barbeque, a warm and inviting dining room designed for long, lingering meals, and a contemporary kitchen created for culinary creativity.
Each stay is elevated by the attentive presence of a butler and chef serving breakfast, light lunch and dinner daily with The Bistro, just minutes away, offering an elegant on-estate dining option.
Expansive terraces flow seamlessly from the interiors, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out, creating effortless spaces for relaxed afternoons by the pool, sunset gatherings on the patio, and starlit evenings beneath the Mountains - Yours to enjoy, Your way!
Dining & Cuisine
The Bistro @ Brookdale
Set on gentle slopes amongst our vineyards, The Bistro looks out across vineyards and the mountainous landscape of our valley in the Paarl Winelands. In this serene setting, Executive Chef Gary Coetzee crafts menus inspired by nature's rhythms ranging from a Summer to Winter menu.
To quote Chef Gary.......
“I search for produce and ingredients that are wholesome, nurtured, and bursting with flavour. This means sourcing the best seasonal, local produce in the Paarl Valley for The Bistro and Manor House. From there, it’s simply a case of marrying flavours, exploring textures, and discovering new combinations. Each plate is being designed to spark the palate, ignite the mind and awaken joy.”
