Babylonstoren Rooms & Suites
Babylonstoren's official accommodation pages divide the stay among Garden Cottages beside the five-hectare garden, newer Fynbos Cottages among vineyards and orchards, the adults-only Farmhouse cluster, and two exclusive-use five-bedroom houses. The Garden page states six one-bedroom suites, three one-bedroom cottages and four two-bedroom cottages, but then separately names Fowl House and Koornhuis without saying whether they sit inside or beyond those totals. The wedding guide calls the Farmhouse a nine-bedroom property, while the accommodation page offers a generic Farmhouse Suite, the Red Studio and a honeymoon loft without allocating those nine rooms. The Fynbos page publishes no cottage count. No official accommodation card publishes a floor area. The Fynbos Family House, not the Manor House, is the house with a private crystal pool.

Category 5
Koornhuis
The named two-bedroom cottage beside the 1777 Manor House sleeps four with two bathrooms, kitchen and book-lined lounge. Each bedroom has a fireplace and en-suite; its place inside or beyond the four-cottage count is unresolved.

Category 9
Farmhouse Honeymoon Loft
The loft above the communal Butterfly Room is called a honeymoon suite but has no separate occupancy, bed, bathroom, amenity or booking panel. Confirm whether it is separately reservable and how it fits the nine-room total.
Category 10
Red Studio
This adults-only Farmhouse studio sleeps two with an en-suite, fireplace, kitchenette, pétanque-courtyard entrance and secluded outdoor shower. Its low-season table anomalously prices single occupancy above double occupancy, so rates require confirmation.
