In the heart of Franschhoek

​

The holiday home is situated in the heart of the romantic wine village of Franschhoek. The area was founded by the Huguenots, who arrived from France, giving rise to the name Franschhoek which means 'French Corner’. The influence of the French winegrowers is why the valley has developed into one of the most important wine-growing regions in South Africa, producing world-class wines.
