Nestled on the charming outskirts of Franschhoek Village, this exclusive boutique hotel invites you to step back in time with its beautifully restored manor house and former perfumery, dating all the way back to 1890. Surrounded by meticulously tended gardens, summer days may be spent lazing at one of the two pools (one heated) offering views of the beautiful mountain vistas. The Monneaux restaurant, celebrated as one of South Africa's top dining spots, delights with its innovative Modern French Cuisine. Enjoy a-la-carte lunches on the beautiful new fountain terrace, while dinners are served in the elegant dining room or enclosed veranda. The wine list highlights local selections, perfect for savouring by the glass in the cozy wine bar or the intimate underground cellar. Every detail is attended to with care, and the warm, personal service completes the experience at this enchanting country retreat.
