Franschhoek Country House

PDFPrintE-mail

The restored manor house and former perfumery dating back to 1890, is situated on the outskirts of the village and is surrounded by enchanting vineyards and majestic mountains.

An hour's drive from Cape Town makes it the perfect getaway for anyone visiting the Western Cape.

The Country House and Villas offers 14 luxury rooms and 12 Villa Suites. All the rooms offer features and facilities expected of a first class hotel.  Almost all rooms lead out onto private balconies or private patio with magnificent views. The Villa Suites are luxurious, and are each 100m2 in size; boast a fireplace, DVD player, individual satellite TV, 2 air conditioners, 2 balconies, and many more unexpected luxuries!

During summer, guests laze at one of the two pools (one heated) with beautiful mountain vistas, visit the boutique wine-farms in Franschhoek, or stroll in the charming town founded by the French Huguenots.

The in-house Monneaux restaurant, voted as one of South Africa's Top Restaurants, has become known for its innovative modern French cuisine. A-la-Carte lunches are served on the magnificent new fountain terrace whilst dinner is served in the understated, yet elegant, dining room or enclosed veranda. The wine list emphasizes local wines that can also be enjoyed by the glass in the cosy wine bar or underground cellar.


Attention to detail and friendly personal service completes the experience at this fine country retreat.

The waters arrive at the top or "panhandle" of the Delta in about January and get to the "end" of the Delta in June or so.
