Restaurants
The original Manor House underwent a complete transformation when the farm was bought in 2002. Today the building, which dates back to 1692, is home to the Zorgvliet Restaurant and it once again boasts a thatch roof to recapture the romantic facade of years gone by. The original homestead was saved from complete decay and specific attention was given to the conservation of existing structures. The preservation of the ceilings, which were restored after exhaustive efforts, lends a unique atmosphere to the Zorgvliet Restaurant.
The previous time that the manor house was restored so meticulously was in 1860 after the house was virtually destroyed in a fire. The farm then belonged to Christiaan Frederik Beyers, father of the Boer General CF Beyers, who was born in the house in 1869 and later became the owner of the farm.
Guests are invited to enjoy traditional South African cooking with a modern interpretation. Local artist Robert Koch was commissioned to portray the breathtaking Banhoek Valley and the Zorgvliet house in a series of seven paintings. These paintings now form an integral part of the atmosphere and grace each of the three Dining rooms, namely the Banhoek Kitchen, the Beyers Room and the Bootmanskop Room, referring to the old Cape mariners. Each dining room at the Zorgvliet Restaurant can accommodate up to 25 guests. The Zorgvliet Restaurant in Stellenbosch is the ideal venue for a small intimate function or to celebrate a special occasion.
