Read on for the best child friendly options in and around Robertson…
Ashton Winery - There is a great area with jungle gym for the kids, all within eyesight of the tasting room. There is a giant chess board too! On sunny days there is also a jumping castle.
Platform 62 - They have a kid’s play area and animals in the beautiful garden under the trees. Don’t leave your pets at home! Bring them along! We love animals and all pets are welcome.
Eseltjiesrus Donkey Sanctuary - They provide a permanent home and loving care to destitute, rescued donkeys. The Visitor Centre and toilets are wheelchair-friendly. They also cater for kids - please speak to them about options for your children. And you can adopt a donkey!
Van Loveren Family Vineyards - Kids simply love drinking from a proper wine glass! Little ones need not feel left out during wine tastings - they can partake in their own (non-alcoholic) & tasting, learning all about flavours, colours and pairings. They can also explore the beautiful garden and play with a giant chess set.
