If you’re an ardent foodie, where better place to take some time out than on a working farm?
From an avocado farm in Limpopo to vineyards in the Western Cape, here are five inspiring spots that cater for couples, kids and four-legged friends.
WESTERN CAPE
Saronsberg Vineyard Cottages, Tulbach
Hemmed in on three sides by the Obiqua, Winterhoek and Witzenberg mountain ranges, the Tulbagh basin enjoys a Mediterranean climate that is ideal for viticulture, with a range in terroir resulting in an impressive diversity of distinctive wines.

At Saronsberg Vineyard Cottages, guests can stay in the midst of the action on a working wine farm.
With six self-catering cottages — each sleeping two to four people — Saronsberg offers comfortable simplicity for those after peace, quiet and perhaps an early morning hike.
And because Saronsberg is pet-friendly, fur-kids are welcome to join in the fun, too.
