A working livery farm, and a unique venue for special events
Horses in the paddocks every morning. One event at a time on the lawn. In the Banhoek Valley, between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.
The farm
Rooted in the valley between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek
Every morning at Banhoek Stud starts the same way: horses are fed, groomed and turned out. It's the everyday rhythm of a working livery yard, and it's what gives the farm its character.
When you host an event here, you don't step into a space built for events. You step into the farm itself — with the mountains around you, horses grazing beyond the rails, and the whole place reserved for one gathering at a time.
Horses in the paddocks, every morning
What's on offer
Our Livery
We offer whatever suits your horse the best: full stabling, live-out, or daily bring-in. A deliberately small yard means attentive care, familiar faces and horses that are properly known.
- Barn-style stables
- Outdoor dressage arena
- Basic jumping arena
- Lunging arena
- Indoor arena access, arranged externally
- Riding track for fitness
- Irrigated grass turnout paddocks
- Wash bay
- Tack and storage facilities
- Horse-box parking
The farm, exclusively yours.
We host one event at a time, so the farm is entirely yours for the day. The lawn, the old oaks and the mountain views. There will be no neighbouring party or negotiation for the best spot. It's all yours.
Make the event your own by using your own suppliers or let us take care of it. We've hosted many types of events. From intimate birthdays to corporate lunches, wellness days and film premieres.
Perfect Photoshoot Setting
Engagements, maternity, family, campaigns, or the question you only ask once. A working farm, a mountain valley and golden-hour light with no one else around.
Suppliers who know the farm
Bring your own team, or start with ours
None of this is compulsory — the day is yours to build, with whoever you like. But if you would rather not start from a blank page, these are people who have already worked this valley and know how it behaves.
