HEMEL-EN-AARDE,  SOUTH AFRICA

A Place of Belonging

Moya’s Vineyard is a 45-hectare private wine farm in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, South Africa’s celebrated cool-climate wine region, near the coastal town of Hermanus, with its breathtaking scenery and white sand beaches, and within easy reach of Cape Town International Airport.

Set among vineyards, landscaped gardens and olive groves, it looks across the valley to the Babilonstoring mountains and the distant Hangklip coastline. The farm is a place for family and friends to come together, slow down and settle into the rhythm of nature. 

  • ”… a modern sanctuary for guests wanting to recharge, reconnect and retreat.” – Haute Grandeur Global Hotel Awards, 2025 Winner of Best Self-Catering Accommodation in Africa

  • “An elegant farmhouse set within private vineyards and gardens, defined by bespoke experiences and the serenity of nature. Hosted by an award-winning team, every stay becomes a collection of unforgettable moments.”– Conde Nast Traveller

  • "Beautiful house in a stunning location. The views down the valley are breathtaking. An open fire made the house cosy on a cold winter night. There’s a multitude of wining & dining options nearby in the valley." – D. Wagstaff

  • "As if on cue, a cooling catabolic breeze gently descended the mountain, easing the heat of the day. The sun began to sink away, leaving champagne coloured streaks across the sky. This is Moya magic!" – Jared Ruttenberg, Your Luxury Africa

  • "Nothing wasn’t perfection. Perfect for a large group with enough space for everyone. The large wrap-around balcony was perfect for lazy lunches and afternoon drinks." – W. Pieterse

  • “…experience the allure of the African wine country at its most refined. Rolling vineyards meet vast skies and distant mountain ranges, forming a landscape that feels both cinematic and deeply grounding. It’s a place where simple beauty still exists.” – Telegraph, The Travel Guide
