Soetendal Estate lawns and mountain views

The Estate

An Estate to Fall in Love With

A working stud farm dating back to 1852, Soetendal sits at the foot of the Limietberg with mountain views on every side, two dams and over a hectare of fresh-cut lawns. It is the kind of place that makes guests stop at the gate and reach for their cameras.

Horses graze in the surrounding paddocks, the light turns gold over the water at sunset, and there is space to breathe at every turn. Whether you picture a grand celebration or a relaxed country gathering, the setting does much of the work for you.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. My dogter se troue was perfek. Diens was 20/10. Soetendal het uit hulle pad gegaan om n troue in n prentjie mooi, perfekte dag te maak. Van die blomme tot die DJ was beter as verwag. Kos was uit die boonste rakke. Julle was amazing gewees. Baie dankie
