Indulge in luxury at La Fontaine, our exquisite boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Franschhoek. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, rolling hills and vineyards and just a short drive from the bustling city of Cape Town, you’ll be able to escape to this peaceful haven and enjoy unparalleled access to Franschhoek’s celebrated culinary scene. Immerse yourself in the beauty and comfort of La Fontaine, where every moment is truly a treat. And with our fleet of tour vehicles on hand, you can easily see the best of the region.

Located in the heart of the picturesque main village of Franschhoek, you’ll be steps away from the action, where world-class dining and charming shops and galleries await. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to retreat, away from the jovial happenings of the village centre, simply stay in and enjoy our tranquil gardens and swimming pools, which stretch across two properties. Dine al fresco on the outdoor breakfast patio, or take in the stunning mountain views from the front veranda, surrounded by lush vine and wisteria pergolas.

With a team of welcoming and knowledgeable staff led by Kim, you’ll feel instantly at home at La Fontaine. Our team is dedicated to exceeding your expectations and making your stay unforgettable.
