Great option for self-catering accommodation about 7-10 minutes from Franschhoek. Comfortable beds and tastefully appointed bedrooms, good kitchen facilities. You're on a secure farm with coded gates for access.

Lovely spot on the outskirts of Franschhoek.
Great to open the french doors of the bedroom looking out on to the farm and watch the cows wandering by, great view.
