Centuries-old vineyards, Cape Dutch architecture, galleries and wonderful people. There's something undeniably charming about this stunning region.
Set on a 17th-century wine estate featuring views of the Simonsberg Mountains, this upscale farmstay is the perfect getaway. Complete with beautiful rustic-chic decor, an elegant restaurant, a farm shop and deli, wine tastings, a spa, and a pool, Boschendal has it all.
A stunning hotel for a beautiful quiet stay in the wine region, with the best breakfast and spa. We could not recommend the Erinvale more.
A French-accented retreat in Franschhoek, reveals itself as a food-focused double act, spread over two South African estates, including a vineyard, orchards and lavender-flecked gardens, plus a few surprises in between.
With only 10 rooms, each uniquely designed, this is the perfect, intimate place to stay. Though small, the hotel is bursting with personality: from the artwork on the walls, to the porcelain tiled bar. Wandering around the hotel gardens, has to be one of our favourite pastimes.
A 'healing farm' cradled in the Franschhoek mountains just north of Cape Town, has something you cannot buy: soul. But it isn’t just the AD-worthy interiors, the lush gardens and the blissful spa that makes a stay here so fulfilling. It is the refreshing take on hospitality, unscripted and devoid of formalities, that makes Sterrekopje stand out. It is the breakfasts of just-foraged fruits and homegrown honey shared with strangers in the shade of olive trees.
