The farms are all within a few minutes drive of each other. With two top-class golf courses within the valley and two others in the vicinity, Constantia is well known as one of the golfing paradises of the world.

Interactions with guests:
We can also help to plan your complete stay, e.g. with a quote for a rental car. The local car hire companies often have better rates than the well-known ones, but the quality of the cars and their service is the same.
