These render it quite unnecessary to leave this haven, however, the town of Franschhoek offers beauty and enticing activities that the whole family can enjoy.

Location:

This Cape Winelands hotel is situated in one of the most verdant viticultural regions in the whole of South Africa. Franschhoek enjoys not only unrivalled valley and mountain views, world-renowned wine cellars, quaint architecture and interesting arts and crafts stores, but also the pleasure of housing eight of South Africa's leading restaurants, which has led to Franschhoek’s becoming known as the gourmet capital of South Africa.

The entire Cape Winelands has become increasingly popular for tourists and locals alike, who can enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while wining and dining on some fabulous wines and gourmet foods. Franschhoek is particularly renowned in this area as it represents the center of the French settlement in South Africa, bringing with it a reputation for world-renowned cuisine and wine.

Spend a lovely day sampling some of the delicious wines from 29 extraordinary wine cellars, followed by a late lunch at one of South Africa's top restaurants with a panoramic view of mountain and valley.

Don't miss a trip to this region during Bastille Day (July 14th) when the streets come alive with French celebrations and some of the best food can be sampled along with various live music entertainment and general camaraderie.
