High Riding Estate Information
High Riding Estate is a tranquil countryside estate situated south of Sir Lowry's Pass in the Helderberg region of the City of Cape Town.

Its elevated setting provides magnificent views towards False Bay and the Hottentots Holland Mountains, making it an appealing destination for visitors who appreciate nature and wide-open spaces.
The estate's location places guests close to several of the Helderberg's most rewarding attractions. The nearby Helderberg Nature Reserve offers scenic hiking trails through protected fynbos, while the famous Helderberg Wine Route features historic estates such as Vergelegen, Lourensford and Morgenster, renowned for award-winning wines, elegant gardens and fine dining. A short drive also leads to Gordon's Bay, where visitors can enjoy sandy beaches, the picturesque harbour and the start of the spectacular Clarence Drive coastal route towards Rooi-Els.
