Welcome To Kunjani Villas and Wines
Private Wine Farm Stays in the Heart of Stellenbosch
In the Bottelary Hills of the Stellenbosch Winelands, Kunjani Villas offers luxury wine estate accommodation with a self-catering twist. Set on a working wine farm, our private villas combine vineyard views, contemporary design, and warm South African hospitality.
Founded by Paul Barth and Pia Watermeyer, Kunjani brings together two worlds – one German, one South African – united by a shared love for wine, people, and beautifully crafted spaces. It’s not a hotel. It’s a personal experience.
The name “Kunjani” means “Hi, how are you?” in Zulu – and that simple spirit of connection runs through everything we do. Whether you’re here for the wine, the views, or just a bit of peace and quiet, Kunjani Villas gives you the time and space to slow down and settle in.

The Kunjani Story –
Where Fine Wines & Luxury Villas Meet
At Kunjani Villas & Wines, every villa offers a retreat, and every bottle tells a story. Set in the heart of Stellenbosch, we blend luxury accommodation with world-class winemaking for an unforgettable experience. Founded by Paul Barth and Pia Watermeyer, Kunjani Villas & Wines is the story of a cross-continental love affair with wine, design, and hospitality.
The story of a cross-continental wine – a dream that took root. Paul Barth grew up in Germany’s Rheingau region, surrounded by Riesling vineyards, but his dream was to own a winery in South Africa, his second home. Pia Watermeyer, a successful South African businesswoman, shared this love for wine and hospitality.
A love story that became a winery, Paul and Pia met at a mutual friend’s wedding, where an instant connection formed – despite Paul’s limited English. Paul’s persistence and Pia’s infectious energy led them on a journey to find the perfect vineyard to call home. After searching, Pia knew Kunjani was the right fit; Paul needed a little more persuading. A walk through the vineyards sealed the decision—Kunjani Villas & Wines was born.
Nestled in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands, Kunjani offers an unparalleled retreat where luxury meets the rich tapestry of South African wine culture. Here’s why discerning travellers chose Kunjani.
