Skinkikofi B&B
To us our property is a living piece of art and we the creators of that art piece.
We are a team at Skinkikofi Manor and we love to serve. We do everything in a professional manner with integrity and in unity. We strive to do everything right the first time.
We are uniquely positioned in the main road next to a farm across from a Wine cellar and on the other side a Melissa's food store with speciality shops and a restaurant. 50m further a Spar, coffee shop, laundry, travel agent and restaurant. Up the road within a kilometre you are on the farm on your way up to Paarl Mountain, a wild flower reserve, Afrikaans language monument and Amphitheatre. Yes you can walk to all this.
