Bosjes Kombuis to open mid-March 2017
Bosjesman’s Valley Farm, which produces wine grapes, olives,
peachs and proteas, just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town just off the R43,
is relaunching as a tourism destination, called Bosjes, open to day and
overnight guests.
It features a chapel with glass walls, to make the most of
the surrounding views and landscaped gardens.
Overnight guests can stay in the guesthouse, which was
decorated by interior designers, Liam Mooney. It is ideally suited to a large
family or wedding party and includes five rooms, which can also be rented
individually.
The ‘voorkamer’ (front room) in the original manor house has
been redesigned for small day conferences or boardroom-style meetings.
Cakes and sandwiches will be served at the open-air tea
garden, or lunch at Bosjes Kombuis. The restaurant, like the chapel, was
designed by Coetzee Steyn from Steyn Studio, and includes high ceilings, glass
walls, a wooden terrace and an impressive tile mural. Consultant chef Pete Goffe-Wood
designed the contemporary rustic lunch menu. There is also a children’s
playground within viewing distance of the restaurant.
The second phase of the project will include the building of
the school. The Bosjes Trust has commissioned architectural firm, Meyer and
Associates, to build a crèche, school and aftercare facilities for the local
children.
