Lord’s Guest Lodge

Top choice in Winelands


If McGregor isn't quiet enough for you, head to this luxury lodge north of town. The thatched, stone cottages sit atop a hill and have wow vistas across the region. Look out for the turn-off 10km before McGregor, from where it's a further 3km along a gravel road.

There's also a quaint pub and the Lady Grey Restaurant (mains R90 to R160), which is open to the public (bookings essential).
