Enjoy your hosts’ private collection of South African art and sculpture which includes the works of artists Deborah Bell, Wilma Cruise, Guy Du Toit, Llewellyn Davies, William Kentridge, Judith Mason, Hylton Nel, Simon Stone, Robert Hodgins and Andrew Verster.

We are pleased to announce that we are opening Guy du Toit’s Talking Hares exhibition this Saturday 3rd November 2012. The show will run until Easter 2013. Guy, one of South Africa’s most accomplished sculptors, uses a wide range of mediums. Talking Hares is in bronze.

Beguiling in their simplicity the hares draw your attention as surely as the moon waxes and wanes. Seen as a trickster figure in world mythologies, hare is a catalyst for change, weaving established opposites together to morph into something new. Guy has achieved a sense of freshness using an ancient symbol - something old yet somehow new.

Come and spend a weekend in the country and enjoy Guy’s Talking Hares in situ.

Wildekrans Country House is a historic 1811 homestead situated in the village of Houw Hoek in the Western Cape. Overlooking a rambling garden that cascades to the river, and silhouetted by a rugged mountain backdrop, the house is furnished with antiques and contemporary South African art.

Accommodation with breakfast and dinner is available as is a self-catering option. For those travelling on business, all rooms have MNet and WiFi. The homestead has three double rooms including a suite. A separate cottage alongside the homestead is perfect for families or travellers wanting kitchen facilities.

The gardens are perfect for mellow summer weddings.

Quirky, burnished by the years, Wildekrans Country House offers a relaxing interlude away from the hurly burly of city life.

Just one hour from Cape Town it is an ideal weekend getaway, or extension to a Mother City visit.
