Franschhoek may be a relatively small village, but there is an impressive amount to see and do.
From acclaimed restaurants and boutique shops to galleries, historic attractions and some of South Africa’s best-known wine estates, every day can offer something different.
Wine enthusiasts can explore the surrounding vineyards or experience the famous Franschhoek Wine Tram, while food lovers can discover why the town has earned such an impressive culinary reputation. Those who prefer a slower pace can spend the day strolling through the village, enjoying a leisurely lunch or simply taking in the spectacular mountain scenery.
Ashbourne Guest House provides a convenient starting point for discovering these experiences and more.
