Rainbow’s End

Stellenbosch, Banghoek Valley

The promise of Rainbow’s End is in its fertility and climate. Situated on high-lying slopes, rising to 540m above sea level, the estate backs on to the Jonkershoek Mountain and overlooks the prized and productive Banghoek basin, which is encircled by mountains.  The name that conjures up associations, and among these are the promise of sunshine after rain, of commitment to the earth, of a destination, and a pot of gold.
