Mont d'Or Franschhoek

A great way to experience the charms of this renovated 19th century Cape Dutch house is to stay in one of the loft rooms. Beneath the sloping roof, under exposed wooden beams, these rooms are wonderfully charming and snug. One of the loft rooms has two single beds, while the other has a double.  There are also 5 double rooms on the ground floor of the guest house, with 3 more in the garden cottage overlooking the pool. There is also one honeymoon/family suite which open up directly onto the garden, with a double room on the ground floor and 2 additional single beds on the mezzanine floor.
