Experience Kalahari hospitality at its finest

African Vineyard Boutique Hotel & Spa combines ambience, good food, treatments, personalised service, and modern accommodation settings to create an unforgettable farm stay experience while delivering country hospitality at its very best.


Elmarie and Theuns de Bruyn own the stylish 4-star establishment on their farm at Kanoneiland. “It is the perfect oasis to reconnect with yourself. Located just a 15-minute drive from Upington, we offer an excellent choice for those wanting to escape the everyday hustle and bustle,” says Elmarie. “We share our private space with guests. Our modern and luxurious accommodation, with breathtaking garden views, provides unparalleled comfort and space. You can also treat yourself to a memorable food and wine pairing or a relaxing spa experience at our signature Kalahari Spa, where you will be pampered from head to toe with healing Kalahari products – the perfect spoil for couples, friends, or corporate groups,” Elmarie said. She added: “Providing a good night’s rest is our top priority, therefore our thoughtfully designed rooms are equipped with a range of premium amenities. We started with two rooms in 2013 and now have 14 rooms available. Visitors can choose between a standard or luxury room, or indulge in the lavishness of a luxury suite.”


Chef Jako Kriel and his assistant, Alida Khowe, serve casual yet sophisticated dishes centred around fresh, healthy ingredients and mouth-watering flavours at the DiVine Restaurant. The lush gardens and stunning vineyard views also set the scene at the Wedding & Conference Venue – the ideal location for functions on the property. The De Bruyns also promote local art in their Art Gallery, with more than 200 paintings on display.
