The Gardens

Step into a sanctuary of timeless charm as you wander through Navarre's landscaped gardens. Towering oaks and manicured pathways lead to secluded seating nooks, blooming borders, and tranquil courtyards.

Whether you're sipping morning coffee beneath the trees or reading beside a sun-warmed wall, every corner invites you to pause and breathe in the stillness of the Cape Winelands.

The Grounds

A Living
Landscape

The gardens at Navarre have been cultivated over generations, shaped by the hands of those who understood that a garden is never finished — it simply evolves. Ancient oaks provide dappled shade over stone pathways, while lavender borders and rose beds release their fragrance into the warm Cape air.

Wander through formal courtyards into wilder corners where fynbos meets farmland, and discover a landscape that feels both curated and completely natural. Every season brings something new to admire.

Working Farm

The Vineyard

Navarre sits on a working vineyard that stretches across the estate, tracing the contours of the Stellenbosch hillside. Rows of carefully tended vines produce grapes destined for some of the region's finest wines, continuing a tradition that has defined this land for centuries.

Guests are welcome to walk among the vines, witness seasonal harvesting activities, and experience the rhythms of farm life that give Navarre its distinctive character.

Rest & Refresh

The Swimming
Pool

Tucked within the garden, the private pool offers a place of stillness and refreshment. Surrounded by lush greenery and the distant silhouette of the mountains, it is the perfect spot to cool off on a warm Stellenbosch afternoon.

Sun loungers sit beneath the shade of the oaks, inviting you to linger with a book or simply watch the light shift across the water. For children, it's an endless source of joy; for adults, a welcome retreat.

Al Fresco

Outdoor Living

Life at Navarre unfolds as much outdoors as within. The covered veranda extends the living room into the garden, while the braai area offers the quintessential South African experience of cooking and gathering under the stars.

Shaded courtyards, sun-drenched lawns, and hidden seating nooks scattered throughout the grounds ensure there is always a perfect spot — whether you seek sunshine or solitude.
