Rainy day today. ☂️🌧 No problem! You can venture out to explore Franschhoek or simply relax in-room or in our lounge. Enjoy a complimentary hot beverage, a sweet treat or a homebaked slice of something delicious available from our breakfast room 'snack nook' next door.

Our guests enjoy soothing background music in our lounge and just being at leisure while browsing books and considering where to go for dinner.

We always assist with recommendations or guests can simply venture out and find a spot in town - many within easy walking distance.
