About the venue
Pendennis was established in 1875 and the Cape Dutch farmhouse was built shortly afterwards. Today on 42 hectares grapes (Pinotage, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon), apples, and olives are grown. Sheep, cows, ostriches, and horses spend their days happily grazing in a picturesque setting.
The farm just over 100 kilometers from Cape Town close to the village Villiersdorp, known as the Pearl of the Overberg, in the breathtaking beautiful valley Bossieveld.
A historic blacksmith barn from 1903, Dasbos Barn, has been renovated and today is a perfect setting for any event like birthday parties, company functions, and weddings. Pendennis provides guests with a unique and authentic South African farm experience, one they will cherish long after leaving the valley.
There is plenty of activities to enjoy on Pendennis Farm, including scenic walks through the vineyards and apple orchards, swims in the Dasbos dam, mountain biking on neighbouring farms. The area also has plenty of additional interesting activities to offer.
