A stylish home away from home, but with a twist of lush vineyards: La Cotte Orchard Cottages is all of that and more. Soak up the scenery on your veranda, after a dip in your own private pool, and gaze out onto the most magnificent views of the Franschhoek Valley.

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.
