The hotel

Rambling flower beds. Rolling lawns. Ornate fountains. All the classic accoutrements of a manor house come together at Franschhoek Country House & Villas, creating space that’s charming, characterful, and calming. Of course, this isn’t just a country house, so among its beautiful rooms, cottages, and villas, you’ll also find traveller treats like al fresco swimming pools, spa treatments, and the acclaimed Monneaux Restaurant – considered one of Franshhoek’s finest dining venues. Just a bike ride from the village, and with stunning valley views, all the wonders of the winelands are just a drive away, including restaurants, museums, and wine tasting experiences.

Beautiful setting. Apartments were stunning and full of character with real fires! Huge beds and great decor. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Just outside Franschhoek in quiet surroundings. Sat by the pool with a glass of wine soaking up the scenery was perfect

We loved our short stay - wish we could have stayed longer. The room was great, all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant one night too, and that was delicious. The shuttle service was super helpful to and from the tram. We will be recommending Franschhoek Country House & Villas.

Friendly, kind staff and lovely accommodations. Located conveniently to the wine terminal Where you pick up wine tram or bus. Also quite a reasonable walk into town. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious. Famous for their pools- one heated, one au naturelle.
