Pendennis Farm 

Only about 100 kilometers from Cape Town close to the village Villiersdorp in the breathtaking beautiful valley Bossieveld lies Pendennis Farm. It was established in 1875 and the Cape Dutch farmhouse was built shortly afterwards. The name Pendennis is unique for this part of the world, as it’s the only English farm name you will find in the area. The reason for this being that the title deed was granted during the British governance of the Cape in 1855. It is a reference to Pendennis Castle in Cornwall - a fort from the 16th century to defend the coast. 

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.
