Ah, it's that time when personal trainers are on speed dial, calendars are filled with post-it notes and inspirational quotes to help us get more organised. But let's face it. New Year's Resolutions show great intention; after all, it's the thought that counts, right? Yet in reality, we hardly ever keep them, and come February, we're back into the Valentine's chocolates and treats.

The advent calendars, Michael Bublé, and festive fanfare have all reminded us that Christmas was coming for the last three months, but in the Banhoek Valley we're releasing our advent calendar today. Instead of opening thin chocolates leading up to Christmas Day, we're offering far more tempting and indulgent treats in and around De Zeven. So even if you aren't currently with us, these are the things you can look forward to 'opening' during your stay.

De Zeven is the perfect destination for those on an aesthetic voyage as we're situated along the prestigious Stellenboch art route. By integrating the natural beauty of the Banhoek mountains, with the artistic flair of inspirational paintings, we encourage you to explore your creative side during a stay with us.
