Owner’s Cottage

The beautiful Grande Provence wine estate covers over 30 acres and dates back 300 years. The distinctive Cape Dutch buildings of the estate are a graceful complement to the stunning scenery. Winner in the 2006 Condé Nast Hot List of Best New Hotels, the Owner’s Cottage bridges old and new perfectly.

Set amidst the perfectly maintained gardens is the Owner’s Cottage, the muted colours of its contemporary décor in pleasing contrast to its traditional architecture. The spacious and luxurious guestrooms are provided with the latest in equipment and accessories, including a full range of home entertainment with a library of CDs and DVDs while bathrooms are equipped to a high standard with a full range of toiletries, bathrobes and slippers. Barbecues and parties overlooking the lake beneath the African sky are well-provided for, with a beautifully appointed loggia beside the swimming pool and the services of a personal chef. There are several options when it comes to lunch or dinner, with an elegant conservatory at the villa, and a fine restaurant in the grounds of the estate. The delightful small town of Franschhoek was founded by Huguenots, and is only a few minutes’ drive away, and numerous activities – not the least of which is sampling the estate wines – can be arranged on the estate itself.
