Mountain ShadowsDescription: Mountain Shadows is a historic manor house set amongst spectacular mountain scenery in the heart of the Cape Wine Country. This fine Cape Dutch house is a national monument dating back to 1823 and is the homestead of the estate developed in 1693 by an early Dutch settler Herman Barentz. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Drakenstein Mountains, only 2 km from Paarl and 40 minutes from Cape Town, Mountain Shadows is the ideal starting point for exploring the beautiful Cape. Today the manor house with its delightfully restored Jonkershuis and farm building, comprises 13 double-en-suite rooms, as well as conference facilities and a restaurant With transfers to and from the airport and full touring facilities with our resident tour operator - you can explore the area. Visit the wonderful wine estates, take a trip to Cape Point, visit the Waterfront and Table Mountain - or combine your visit with an extension to another Southern African destination. Mountain Shadows offers delightful walks around the estate, water streams and abundant birdlife, or you can simply put your feet up by the pool and soak up the peace of the estate. For the sportsman there is an 18 hole golf course only minutes away. Great food prepared by our superb chef combined with fine wines from the neighboring cellars will ensure that your stay at Mountain Shadows will be memorable. This tranquil homestead is under the enthusiastic ownership of Roger and Pauline Butterfield and a talented young chef , Ian Taylorson, who cooks with the passion of Careme and Bocuse, using local farm ingredients. Homemade spinach linguine sauced with goat's cheese and basil, and calamari steak with ginger vegetables are just two examples of his dishes. Traditionalists explore lamb shank braised in red wine with rosemary, or Karoo lamb with balsamic - scented stock and garlic mash. For dinner we had a spicy Thai soup of coconut milk touched with lemon grass, curry and chilli, salmon trout with coriander guacamole, tender quail stuffed with Tuscany sausage, and a finale of lemon desert.
