Vergenoegd Löw Boutique Hotel & SpaIn 1696 Pieter de Vos could feast his eyes on what you see today – Table Mountain, the Helderberg Mountain, the Eerste River, The Atlantic Ocean, vineyards and waving fields. History, heritage and harmony converge here – wine making over three centuries, vrijburgers layering and expanding the homestead, barn, slave lodge, threshing floor and cellars into one of the oldest and most intact of the early wine farms of the Cape of Good Hope. This is a living, evolving national monument, part of the European Heritage Project and a WWF conservation site. Many of the key players in our history share a brave, inquiring and adventurous sense of possibility. Take founder Pieter de Vos, who planted the first vines here at the end of the 17th century. He started a tradition that continues to this day. He also chose the name Vergenoegd (well-satisfied or content) |
