Neethlingshof Estate lies just outside the beautiful town of Stellenbosch in the heart of the Cape Winelands. The history of Neethlingshof Estate spans more than 300 years. In 1692 Willem Barend Lubbe, a German settler, began farming the site he had been granted by Simon van der Stel on the Bottelary Hills overlooking False Bay. He named the farm De Wolwedans, which means “The Dance of Wolves”, because he mistook the packs of jackals which roamed the countryside in those early days of European settlement for wolves.

After Lubbe sold the De Wolwedans in 1717 the farm changed hands multiple times. Since 2017 Neethlingshof is now owned by the Schreiber family. --------------------------------

Das Neethlingshof Estate liegt etwas außerhalb der schönen Stadt Stellenbosch im Herzen der Cape Winelands. Die Geschichte des Guts Neethlingshof umfasst mehr als 300 Jahre. 1692 begann Willem Barend Lubbe, ein deutscher Siedler, mit der Bewirtschaftung des von Simon van der Stel bewilligten Geländes auf den Bottelary Hills mit Blick auf die False Bay. Er nannte die Farm De Wolwedans, was „Der Tanz der Wölfe“ bedeutet, weil er die Rudel Schakale, die in jenen frühen Tagen der europäischen Besiedlung die Landschaft durchstreiften, für Wölfe hielt.

Nachdem Lubbe 1717 die "De Wolwedans" verkauft hatte, wechselte die Farm mehrmals den Besitzer. Seit 2017 gehört der Neethlingshof der Familie Schreiber.
