Look what we “spotted” today! A Spotted Eagle-Owl in our garden. Mother and owlet. So special to see nature up close and personal in our back yard.

Fun fact: The Spotted Eagle-Owl is monogamous unless its mate dies. In the event of a partner dying, the Spotted Eagle-Owl will seek out a new mate.

Travel restrictions are unfortunately still in place, but this doesn’t mean we can’t invite you along on a virtual journey as we share some of our daily moments of “life-at-Sanddrif” with each of you.

Be sure to visit our Facebook page and/or website for a delightful imaginary experience!

#sanddrifguestfarm #stellenboschguesthouse #stellenbosch #southafrica

As we’ve just passed 100 days of lockdown in South Africa, there has been many an opportunity to think and reflect on many things during this time. It didn’t take much soul-searching for me to realise again how much I love photography and that the very thing I’m so passionate about I’d really like to be able to share with others in some shape or form.

Be sure to visit our Facebook page to see what lockdown looked liked in our garden at Sanddrif Guest Farm!  #sanddrifguestfarm #photography #wildlife #nature #birding #lockdownlife #southafrica #stellenbosch #stellenboschguesthouse #benterhuurnephotosafaris

As we start the beginning of Lockdown Level 3 in our country, we thought we'd share a recipe rooted in deep South African heritage: Bobotie.

Be sure to visit our Facebook page and/or website for the recipe!

#sanddrifguestfarm #recipe #southafricanheritage #nationaldish #trulysouthafrican

Bobotie (Afrikaans), pronounced ba-boor-tea, is the national dish of South Africa: A delicious mixture of curried minced meat and exotic spices with a creamy golden egg-based topping. A truly comforting meal, full of the flavours of Africa!

Cape Malay cuisine is a classic South African fusion of the tastes of Asia and Europe. The Cape Malay community is descended from Malay, Javanese and Indian slaves, among other Asians, who were shipped to Cape Town in the 17th century by the Dutch East India Company.
