Located right in the middle of Franschhoek town, this hotel has a lot to boast about. It is soaked in history; originally built as a Mission House in 1888, and later serving as the village school right up until 1974, this house has chapters filled with stories to tell. Having recently been restored them to its former glory, the hotel’s design impressively combines heritage design with local creativity and charm. The relaxation areas of the hotel benefit from enormous attention to detail, including bespoke art pieces from local artists, and handpicked furniture and fabrics. The breath-taking lounge boasts exceptionally high ceilings and a strikingly generous original fireplace.

Both the bar and breakfast room lead to the original veranda which is an oasis of calm and relaxation, and where the full vastness and beauty of the surrounding Franschhoek mountains can be taken in and appreciated.
