Hi! I am a cardiac scientist by profession and science is my passion. My family and I moved away from the hustle and bustle of the city seeking the peace and quiet of farm and vineyard lifestyle at iyla Estate. We’re proud to open our home to guests while we’re away — not just as a place to stay, but as a chance to experience a self-sustaining lifestyle on a boutique working vineyard. Powered by solar energy and solar hot water, the property runs entirely on rainwater (filtered through a two-stage purification system), and uses a 100% eco-friendly on-site sewage system. As a small vineyard transitioning to organic practices, your stay directly supports us in managing the high costs involved in the shift to more sustainable farming, and in caring for the land and its native flora and fauna. As a host I will endeavour to make your stay at our home as convenient and joyful as possible.
