African Vineyard Boutique Hotel & Spa welcome you to the island of slow living on Kanoneiland, an island in the Orange River, just 30km from Upington and 15km from Keimoes in the Northern Cape. We want to share our private space with you, without intruding into your private space to enable you to disconnect to be able to reconnect with yourself and the people around you – we therefor have a spa where you can relax & revitalize. Supporting the concept of slow living, is also our slow food restaurant where we offer a set menu and share our favourite home-cooked meals with you, accompanied by a selection of wine & beverages. We are the ideal destination for a few days on your route to Augrabies, Namibia, Kgalagadi, Namaqualand Flowers & The Richtersveld.
Passionate about people, nature and the little things that make a difference in life - to value people on all levels and treating them with respect, is respecting myself.
The Green Kalahari region of the Northern Cape, in contrast to its desert surrounds, boasts beautiful blue skies, greenery and, of course, South Africa’s longest river, the Orange River. Located in this tranquil haven is African Vineyard Guesthouse, offering guests the ideal getaway accommodation to this luscious part of South Africa. Uniquely located on a working grape farm on Kanoneiland, or ‘Canon Island’, in the middle of the Orange River, African Vineyard Guesthouse prides itself in its four-star, AA superior accommodation. Offering visitors fine country hospitality, with its tranquil gardens and lush vineyards, it’s the ideal stop over on route to some of the county’s most iconic destinations in the Northern Cape.
