Welcome to wine country: a luxury farmhouse in the heart of the Franschhoek valley, an hour from Cape Town. There’s a home-away-from home feel to the rooms, with exposed brick walls and furnished with unique pieces of furniture that the owners have collected both locally and on their travels. Check into the Valley Suite with its sun deck, pool and outdoor private shower for the summer months, wood-burning fire for colder weather and year-round stunning mountain views. The main house has a large, open-plan kitchen and dining area for up to 16 – ideal for entertaining.
