A unique, all-in-one film destination — possibly the finest in the world. Sound stages, limitless backlots and locations, and a five-star hospitality & lifestyle village, all inside one secured, self-sufficient estate in the Cape Winelands.
An aerial introduction to the studios, backlots and hospitality village — the full scale of the estate, from above.
Everything a production needs is inside one estate: stages to shoot on, terrain to double for almost anywhere on earth, and a village to live, eat and recover in between set-ups — all under one security perimeter.
Studios, backlots, hospitality and production services under a single, integrated ownership structure — one point of contact for an entire shoot.
A private, secure estate with 24-hour access control and digital security infrastructure, set within a valley enclosed by mountains.
A working estate managed with environmental stewardship in mind — protecting the working lands, waterways and natural terrain productions rely on.
The heart of the estate — a purpose-built village of sound stages, workshops and production offices, engineered for productions of any scale.
Five stages from 600 m² to 1,300 m², with grid heights up to 8.0 m. Full specification below.
Construction, art department and support spaces adjacent to the stages, for a fully self-contained build.
On-site production offices and executive suites, keeping every department within a short walk of set.
Five sound stages totalling 4,950 m², supported by construction, art department and production office space inside the same perimeter.
Five stages, two crew basecamps, the construction workshop and warehouse block and the office centre — all within a few minutes' walk of each other, behind one gate.
