MY FEATURED LISTINGS
| Franschhoek |
| Franschhoek Wine Valley lies deep in the Cape Winelands and is South Africa’s very own ‘French Corner’. The picturesque village of Franschhoek, set amidst luscious vineyards and gracious Cape Dutch homesteads is truly evocative of its 17th century Huguenot culture. Franschhoek has earned its reputation as the “gourmet capital” of the Cape and a fantastic choice of excellent restaurants offer sumptuous global cuisine to tempt even the most jaded palate. The village main street is lined with dozens of restaurants, art galleries and speciality shops, and gently winds to its focal point, the Huguenot monument. Surrounded by majestic mountains, with its myriad of olive groves and vineyards, Franschhoek is a breathtakingly beautiful and tranquil holiday destination, just 45 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town. |
