Fransvliet Guest House: A Serene Vineyard-Wrapped Guesthouse in Franschhoek

If you’re headed to Franschhoek for the weekend, be it for a romantic getaway or a rendezvous with friends, you definitely want to be close to the action, but not necessarily in it.

Fransvliet Guest House is just the ticket. Flanked by a mountain range on either side, and surrounded by vineyards, the property is perfectly positioned, a five-minute drive from the buzzy town centre, on the R45 Main Road, with rows and rows of green, leafy vines evoking unhindered peace and privacy.

The lodgings

There are five guesthouse suites and two self-catering options (with a third Manor House in the pipeline). Each has its own private stoep overlooking a beautiful garden and the mountain beyond – ideal for unwinding with a glass of wine and enjoying the sunset in solitude. Inside, the rooms are modern and luxuriously comfortable, thanks to a fireplace and plush furnishings.
