Nestled amid vineyards in the picturesque countryside of the famous Cape Winelands region, Franschhoek Country House is set in what was originally a perfumery and manor homestead in 1890. It’s located by Franschhoek, only an hour from Cape Town, and is a tranquil countryside escape.

Franschhoek Country House has 14 luxury rooms and 12 villa suites, offering the features and facilities expected of a first-class hotel. The villa suites are extremely luxurious and spacious – each 100m² in size – boast a fireplace, DVD player, individual satellite television, two air conditioners and two balconies.

Guests can laze beside one of two pools (one heated) with beautiful mountain vistas, visit the boutique wine farms in Franschhoek or stroll through the village founded by the French Huguenots. The manor’s onsite Monneaux restaurant (voted as one of South Africa’s top restaurants) is renowned for its innovative French cuisine. A là carte lunches are served on the glorious terrace; dinners are served on a magnificent veranda, or in the elegant dining room where guests enjoy understated sophistication.

Attention to the finer details and friendly personalized service complete the luxurious experience at this charming country retreat.
