about us
A Place to Slow Down, Switch Off and Stay Awhile
Just two hours from Cape Town, Doornbosch Estate & Guesthouses offers a peaceful farm escape in the heart of the Overberg.
Perfectly positioned between the historic village of Elim and the coastal town of Gansbaai, the estate puts some of the region’s best experiences within easy reach. Spend the day discovering local wine farms, wander the white sands of Pearly Beach, or take a scenic drive to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa, around 45 minutes away.
Set within a beautifully preserved natural landscape, Doornbosch is a working cattle and game farm where open spaces, fresh air and an unhurried pace take centre stage. It is a place to step away from busy schedules, reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasure of having nowhere else you need to be.
