A Private Franschhoek Escape — Vineyard Views, Mountain Light & Unforgettable Luxury

Some places are beautiful.

Others make you feel as though you've stepped into your own private world.

At the foot of the magnificent Klein Dassenberg Mountain Range, this enchanting Franschhoek retreat brings together the romance of the Cape Winelands with the warmth of an intimate country home. Surrounded by vineyards, mountain scenery, exceptional food, and award-winning wines, it offers a slower, more indulgent way to experience South Africa's celebrated "French Corner."

Just a short stroll from the main hotel and moments from the vineyard, The Manor House offers an exclusive setting for families and groups looking to share something truly special.

Designed to accommodate up to eight adults and six children, this four-bedroom luxury villa is wonderfully spacious, with generous social areas made for gathering, reconnecting, and celebrating. A large dining room provides the perfect setting for long meals together, while the games room promises relaxed evenings filled with laughter. The well-appointed kitchen gives you the freedom to make the villa feel entirely your own.

Outside, the heated swimming pool invites you to enjoy the South African sunshine in complete comfort. For an even more effortless stay, private chef services can transform an evening at home into an unforgettable culinary experience.

Chardonnay Room 1 — Quiet Elegance & Panoramic Views

Spacious, sophisticated, and beautifully serene, Chardonnay Room 1 offers a peaceful retreat on the lower level of the Manor House.

Soft neutral tones create a calming atmosphere, while panoramic views extend across the front and side of the property. A writing desk provides a quiet corner for inspiration, while a comfortable sofa invites you to slow down with a book or simply take in the scenery.

Step outside onto your private terrace and let the beauty of Franschhoek unfold around you. With sweeping views and a peaceful atmosphere, it's the perfect place for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

Chardonnay Room 2 — Light, Art & Effortless Comfort

Bright and uplifting, Chardonnay Room 2 is filled with natural light and understated elegance.

Hand-curated artwork brings personality to the space, while the luxurious bed offers an inviting place to retreat after a day exploring the vineyards and mountains.

Located conveniently close to the shared social areas, the room balances privacy with easy access to the heart of the Manor House—ideal for guests who want to be close to the action while still having a peaceful space of their own.

Viognier Room — Where the Vineyard Meets the Mountains

For a stay defined by views, the Viognier Room offers something truly special.

Set within a standalone building beside the Manor House, this spacious retreat opens onto a private terrace overlooking the vineyards and mountains.

Imagine pouring a glass of award-winning South African wine, stepping outside, and watching the landscape stretch endlessly before you.

Inside, a generous living area, dedicated dressing space, and elegant en-suite create a comfortable and private sanctuary. Outside, there is plenty of space to sit back, breathe in the fresh countryside air, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the vineyards.

Loft Suite — A Private Haven Above the Valley

Perched on the top floor of the Manor House, the Loft Suite offers an elevated escape surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery.

Warm, sophisticated tones create a beautifully tranquil atmosphere, while the spacious layout provides separate areas for sleeping and relaxing.

The luxurious en-suite features both a deep bath and shower, creating the perfect setting for unwinding after a day of exploring.

Look upwards and you'll discover the character of the suite in its beautiful peaked wooden ceilings. Then open the French doors and step onto your private terrace, where panoramic views of the majestic Dassenberg Mountains become part of your everyday experience.

Wake to the mountains.

Spend the day among vineyards and extraordinary wines.

Return to your private terrace as the afternoon light turns golden.

The Franschhoek Experience

Beyond the comfort of your accommodation, an entire world awaits.

Explore the vineyards, discover exceptional wines, savour memorable cuisine, or simply spend the day enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Wander into Franschhoek for its charming atmosphere, then return to the tranquillity of your private retreat.

For families, the generous spaces of the Manor House create room for everyone to come together. For groups of friends, long dinners and evenings by the pool become memories in the making. And for couples, the terraces, mountain views, and quiet corners offer countless opportunities to slow down and reconnect.
