Stephward Estate Country House & Orchid & Exotic Plant Nursery

Stephward Estate is a little piece of Heaven surrounded by magnificent gardens. When one enters the Estate you are greeted by the owners, Stephen and Howard who are so welcoming and friendly. My friends and I love going for wonderful luncheons at the Restaurant overlooking the pool. The food is always superb and the service is excellent. My compliments to the chef, Stephen. I love wandering through the nurseries. There is an incredible collection of Exotic plants, Orchids, Hoyas and every plant that your heart desires! I'm delighted that Stephward Estate has opened its doors again after the long Covid 19 lockdown. Now I can again look forward to spending many happy hours there. Stephen and Howard, you rock!

It was my first visit and we had been looking for a place to eat when we came across it on google search. The word for my experience there is astounding.It was such an incredible place from the very entrance to the exit. Sitting down for lunch at the pool side with those staggering large pillars made me feel like i was transported to Italy or a countryside in France. No exaggeration they place is amazing and if you love romantic settings or want to reconnect with nature this is the place to go to.Stephan and Howard along with Ignatia were so inviting that you feel like you dining with friends more than being patrons at a restaurant.They are incredible people and when they say it is an exotic nursery be prepared for an experience.Howard is so knowledgeable about his plants and even though i am an avid gardener i was put to shame by everything he knows.This is a place to be and visit and i am waiting to try out their accommodation but i will let you know this ...If you want to meet great people and have good laughs then visit them and you will become guests for life.My husband and i will definitely be making reservations for our weekly sunday dates there. So give it a try and you will never regret it.The food is great and try the potatoe soup , it is finger licking good.Thanks Stephan and Howard for a great time .

Beautiful Nursery and very friendly and helpful owners. Wide variety of plants and some beautiful exotic plants as well.They offered to assist in growing a rare plant for me free of charge!

I just want to express my heartfelt thanks to Stephen and Harward for the excellent service on my sister Charmain's wedding day 23 April 2022. Very professional service and friendly staff, absolutely beautiful exotic flowers and plants the food was great. I would absolutely recommend their services for all occasions. Kind regards Clarice Kruger.

I only went to the plant section. Absolutely stunning range of exotic plants and beautiful rare orchids, looking forward to going again soon

Most beautiful Nursery in South Africa! Would recommend all plant lovers to visit. The owner Stephen is so passionate and provided such an educational tour. Beautiful wedding venue too!

I always order my orchid flasks and my orchids from this amazing establishment!!! They are so welcoming and they have the most spectacular orchid nursery filled with rare beautiful orchids as well as very rare exotics. PS: go on the nursery tour. You will love it!

Most beautiful, tranquil, it is the most peaceful place to be. The management and staff are helpful and friendly. I was honoured to display my gifting as I love doing decor and catering. The meal served was super and professionally presenting.I am recommending the venue to friends and family and hope to see you soon.With kind regardsAda McLeod

Was the best food and service experience we had in a long time. Everything was delicious from the bread to the chicken liver to the calamari and the Sole!!!! Stephen Harward were wonderful guest and we also got to visit the orchids nursery.We will definitely come back soon for more excellent food. And I am French so I know about delicate meals and I had nothing to complain, only enjoyed all of it.

Friendly and welcoming owners and staff. Easy to locate when following the signs on the road. Great breakfast with very tasty homemade bread but restaurant staff not so helpful. Peaceful and quiet. Safe and well secured.
