"The sprawling eight-acre garden at Babylonstoren (pictured at the top of the article) makes you want to lose yourself in it. Located on a working wine farm in South Africa’s Cape Winelands, the edible garden is bursting with over 300 local plants, herbs and vegetables. Guests can gather fresh produce from the garden—like lemons, arugula, prickly pears and plums—and then carry their bounty back to their cottage and prepare dinner in the slick wood kitchen. The contemporary farmhouse cottages have long wooden dining tables that peer onto the estate and garden, so spending extra time in the room won’t be a drag." - Mary Holland
