Sempurna Estate Accommodation - Things do do

Your Gateway to Rural Bliss in McGregor, Western Cape!

Sempurna Estate, is part of the newly formed McGregor Vrolijkheid Conservancy and is just outside McGregor, in the Cape Winelands. You will be spoiled for choice with three different types of accommodation options and a wide range of activities and experiences when visiting us on Sempurna.

Lace up your hiking boots and explore the orchards, vines and the 11 km picturesque trail that meanders through the farm’s stunning landscapes with breathtaking views and opportunities to immerse yourself in the harmony of nature.

For the adventurous souls, hop on a mountain bike and traverse the rugged terrain, pedalling your way through scenic routes and embracing the thrill of the outdoors. Wine enthusiasts can indulge in various activities around wine tasting, blending, wine walks, discovering the flavours of the region’s world-class vineyards. From hiking and mountain biking to wine tasting and beyond, Sempurna Estate offers an array of activities that cater to every taste and ensure an unforgettable stay in the heart of McGregor’s natural wonders.

Walking and hiking

We have walking trails over much of the 458 hectare area of the farm, many offering spectacular views of the farm, the Riviersonderend and Langeberg mountains, and the quaint village of McGregor. On the top of one of the hills overlooking the farm and the village there is the “bench with a view” where morning coffee or a sundowner can be enjoyed. Bird life is plentiful and is ideal for bird watchers who are sure to hear the call of the fish eagle. If all you want to do is relax you will have no problem getting away from it all, and catching your breath. And, of course, if you’re planning on doing the McGregor to Grayton walk, in one or both directions, we can assist with arranging transport to the start of the walk in the Riviersonderend Mountains.

Training facilities

Sempurna has a 25m indoor swimming pool, heated in winter. It is ideal not only for casual swimming but is perfect for serious training. There is also a gym facility with an exercise machine and stationary bike in the pool area. The pool is not open to the public, and is available for exclusive use by McGregor swimming clubs and our Sempurna guests staying on the farm.

Mountain Biking

With differing levels of difficulty, our 11km rugged mountain bike/trail running route features a single track through the unspoiled Karoo renosterbos. Both the Cape Epic, as well as The Ride2Nowhere, have traversed through the farm. There are also numerous other mountain biking routes in the nearby vicinity.

In and around McGregor

In McGregor one can explore the various quaint shops, art and craft galleries, coffee shops, and restaurants. Every Saturday morning there is a market selling home made goods and food and often the brass band will be playing too. There is no shortage of massage therapists in McGregor. The Vrolikheid Nature Reserve is close to Sempurna Estate and boasts abundant bird life. At the end of the Road to Nowhere is the beginning of the McGregor to Greyton hike on the Boesmanskloof hike.
