Alpacas have long been farmed for the beautiful wool that they produce; which is soft, warm and luxurious. The Manor House Alpacas has been farming these interesting and undeniably cute creatures since 2004. 

After The Alpaca Loom was instituted, this farm began weaving with the wool produced by the herd, which has now grown to more than 200 animals. The Alpaca Loom Coffee Shop & Weaving Studio is designed to provide visitors to the farm with as much exposure to the industry and its gorgeous produce as desired. Savour a deliciously decadent sweet treat and a cup of freshly brewed coffee at the coffee shop, while taking in the stunning views of Table Mountain
