Royal Christmas Night

We would like to invite you to West Coast Farm for the cozy overnight Christmas dinner on the 18th century colonial hall that housed Nelson Mandela in the company of traditional Boer, West Coast legend, Julian Melck.

For eight generations, the farm has been handed down to the sons, with Julian Melck the present owner. A hardworking farmer, advocate of the High Court of SA, aviator, musician and storyteller. 

Julian Melck is the owner and farmer at Kersefontein on the Cape West Coast some 150 km north of Cape Town between Veldrift and Hopefield. An 8th generation custodian, the land was acquired by his family on 13 August 1770. Julian has lived there all of his life.

The house is old and interesting from an architectural and vernacular perspective. His parents and grandparents were art and antique collectors and set a wonderful example of what it was as children to grow up with a rich heritage to be preserved for future generations. Today Julian is the custodian of these valuable articles for the family. The house as we see it is much layered, added onto over the generations and tells the story of change and progress.

All expenses are included in the price , no additional expenses are expected:

-accommodation;

-Christmas dinner (including drinks) and next day breakfast; 

-transfer from Cape Town;
