We are located in a unique village called Franschhoek, in the heart of the beautiful Cape Winelands. There is a choice of more than 20 top-class vineyards to choose from for your particular palate, be it a white or a red vintage.

Franschhoek is also known as the culinary centre for gastronomic choice, with some of the top restaurants in the country situated in this region.

Reservations are a must, which your hosts will gladly organise for you in advance.
