The classic and charming exterior is complemented by the contemporary interior, creating a truly luxurious residence. Owned by collectors of art, there are pieces by local artists displayed throughout, including the intricate front gate.

The main living area consists of a large drawing room with lots of comfortable couches and chairs and a fireplace. This flows into the dining area, which seats 10, and from here you can access the fully equipped country style kitchen. The dining area also leads outside onto the patio. There is a second separate lounge with a TV and DVD player.

The doors from the dining room fold away completely onto a lovely covered patio lounge and BBQ area. This leads on to a pretty garden and a solar heated swimming pool with sun loungers.

The bedrooms or suites all offer great views of the mountains and garden, have their own dedicated bathrooms and air conditioning.

There is also a yoga and meditation room, for those who want to do some exercise while on holiday. Dedicated to a ‘green’ living experience, solar panels on the roof provide virtually 100% of the electricity required to power the manor house.

Explore the very best that Franschhoek has to offer, from its famous wine tram to top quality restaurants. There is also a weekend market and some lovely boutiques and galleries along the main street.
