Trip Summary

Enjoy a 2-night escape to the beautiful Franschhoek Valley, with a stay at the lovely L’Ermitage Chateau and Villas and an excursion on the Franchhoek Wine Tram. Includes a complimentary bottle of wine to enjoy while taking in the stunning views. 

On the slopes of the prestigious Fransche Hoek Estate, adjacent to Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve and Haute Cabriére wine estate, is a haven like no other, shaped by the natural embrace of spectacular mountain ranges. It is here where you will find L’Ermitage Chateau and Villas, an exclusive country village, distinctive in sophistication, contemporary elegance and gracious hospitality. With superb, modern amenities, tasteful and sophisticated decor and breathtaking views of the fynbos-rich mountains, each suite and villa guarantees a luxurious and indulgent stay. Every elegantly opulent suite and villa is individually styled in luxuriously rich textures, exquisite décor and custom furnishings, with crisp linens to create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere. A private balcony or patio, with sweeping vistas over the Franschhoek Valley and a picture-perfect lake, provides an ideal sanctuary to reflect and rejuvenate the soul.

The Franschhoek Wine Tram hop-on hop-off tour is one of the best ways to discover the true essence of the Franschhoek Valley – picturesque vineyards, breath-taking scenery, warm hospitality, world-class cuisine, fine wines and a 300-year history. Journey through rolling vineyards in a vintage style railway tram and open-air tram-bus stopping in at some of South Africa’s oldest and most distinguished wine estates. A combination of tram and tram-bus transports passengers around a loop of stops allowing them to hop-off at each stop and experience the activities on offer, be it wine tasting, a cellar tour, lunch or simply a stroll through the vineyards and when they are ready, hop-on to continue the tour.
