Let me tell you about a well-known estate—fondly know as the “The Jewel of the Winelands”. Words that come to mind when describing this property are luxury, elegance, sophistication, and precision.

In March, I travelled with my husband and 6 year old daughter to the picturesque town of Swellendam. This gem of a town is known as one of the oldest towns in South Africa.
