Whether it's a romantic getaway, family holiday, sporty adventure or simply a change in pace from urban hustle, a stay at Ludus Magnus is guaranteed to wow and delight.

Named after a Roman gladiator school, Ludus Magnus is the meticulous innovative creation by owners, a dynamic French-Italian couple who packed up life in Europe and moved with their 3 children and their beloved dogs to live in Franschhoek.

The property is 100% off-the-grid and generates its own electricity, water and numerous food sources.

Discover our mini-island, hideaway boma and private river deck with beach. Stroll around the estate and spot our Shiraz vineyard, olive grove and fruit trees.
