Everything you need, at the foot of a mountain in Franschhoek.
Shared and private rooms. Trails out the door. A genuine performance gym. Training, recovery, great food, and rest.
Mornings start early, and every evening ends around the fire.
Some places you visit. Others become a second home. There are good values and good value, and a new family of friends each adding their story to the heritage.
Old Marine Owners Club gives you priority access to a private environment crafted for like-minded individuals, and gatherings that celebrate the good things in life.

Your day begins at
Sunrise over the valley, waking in a shared or quiet en-suite room.
Dawn patrol with beautiful coffee in your hand.
A workout in the gym, an early run or ride out on the trails, or a swim before breakfast.
A meal, or all of them at long tables made for sharing.
The gym is set up for real training, and the gardens and pool for recovery or respite.
In winter, days are spent beside the fires and in summer, by the pool.
Stay a night, or stay longer than you expected.


A new season
on the table at
the bunkhouse
The Italian-inspired Harvest Table at La Bella Vita celebrates seasonality and abundance, alongside well loved classics from our favourite cuisine. A place of long, slow lunches, shared tables, and generous simplicity.
At The Bull Braai Room, everything revolves around the fire. A red meat experience of prime cuts and bold flavours, both refined and elemental. An unapologetically South African tradition, reimagined for memorable dining.
A choice of experiences, a single philosophy:
Honest food, done the right way.
