Franschhoek Country House & Villas

Set in the picturesque wine-producing valley of Franschhoek, the Franschhoek Country House & Villas offers luxury rooms in a beautiful setting and fantastic food.

This restored manor house and former perfumery dating back to 1890 is situated on the outskirts of the village in the Cape wine lands and is surrounded by vineyards and majestic mountains, just an hours drive from Cape Town.

The in-house Monneaux Restaurant is rated as one of South Africa's best and serves an inspired fusion of Western and Eastern influences.Lunch is served on the magnificent fountain terrace and dinner in the relaxed, yet elegant dining room. The wine list emphasizes some of the top wines of the region. The wine bar is open 0700 - 2300 hours, breakfast is full English or Continental and lunch and dinner are full A La Carte.

The Country House offers 14 luxury rooms - most lead out onto balconies or private patios. All rooms have luxuries and amenities including satellite TV, direct dial telephone. Some also feature fire places, under carpet heating and air-conditioning.  The new Villa Suites offer the ultimate in luxury and are all 100sq metres in size.

Flanked by the majestic Huguenot Mountains, the Franschhoek Country House is about an hour's drive from Cape Town. Situated in the heart of the wine-route, Franschhoek has plenty to offer with the town offering many restaurants, shops and craft centres as well as the wine routes. Wine-tasting on the farms in the area, or in the neighbouring towns of Stellenbosch and Paarl, is a popular tourist pastime. Cape Dutch architecture, gentle walks in the valley and tales of its Huguenot heritage are all part of Franschhoek's charm.  Other activities such as horse riding, mountain biking or golf can be arranged from here.
