The Franschhoek

Average guest rating:5.0

The Franschhoek is an exclusive 5* historic residence situated right in the heart of the gourmet village of Franschhoek. It is private and peaceful, yet only a minutes walk from the many award-winning restaurants and numerous character-filled boutique style shops and galleries.

Beautifully restored in the Cape Huguenot tradition, this boutique hotel has been designed with sumptuous home comforts, creating an elegant, sophisticated interior with a handsome mixture of classic and contemporary furnishings. A wooden decked balcony affords spectacular views across the mountains - the perfect spot for a sundowner or just to relax around the private pool.

The picturesque village of Franschhoek offers world-class wine estates, tastings and cellar tours.

The surrounding valley is also the idyllic setting for walking trails, hiking, cycling, bird watching, horse-riding and fly-fishing.

Golfing enthusiasts are well catered for with several championship golf courses close by.

Six luxurious double rooms, each with their own traditional Cape charm, open onto private patios and small, shaded gardens.

All have marbled en-suite bathrooms, and air-conditioning and satellite TV.

Included in the rates are lavish breakfasts, free drinks, bespoke wines, premium spirits and an in-house chauffeur service is also available to guests.

"We had an absolutely fantastic trip, and the itinerary you arranged for us was really perfect in pretty much every regard. All the properties we stayed at were quirky, luxurious and beautifully situated, as well as extremely friendly and welcoming. Inyati Lodge was just wonderful: all the staff were so friendly, the food was ridiculously amazing, and we met some great people (not to mention seeing the Big Five - and more - every single day). Meanwhile The Last Word (the new name for The Franschhoek) was especially memorable: we were treated like royalty, and generally ate and drank incredibly.

Thank you very much indeed for arranging it: it really couldn't have been any better, and our memories will stay with us forever."
