Cape Town Hotels: Franschhoek Hotels

In Franschoek, every building that isn’t a guesthouse or antique shop is a restaurant. If you stay here you’ll be able to sample the finest French cuisine this side of Paris - Franschhoek literally means 'The French Corner' and was founded more than three centuries ago when the French Hugenots settled in the Berg River Valley.

Alternatively, venture out of your Franschoek hotel or guesthouse to spend the day estate-hopping at one of the 14 wine estates open to the public. In Franschhoek, the scenic milieu of dense pine, flowing streams, mountain and valley views is perfect for long walks, horse riding and mountain climbing, or for a relaxing family picnic.
