Avondrood Guest House  

In the heart of Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands, about an hour from Cape Town. Minutes from the Franschhoek Wine Tram, the Huguenot Memorial Museum and Huguenot Monument, with Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve close by. A family-friendly guest house and classic Bed & Breakfast base for wine-country exploring.

Set in an original Victorian Cape‑Dutch home, Avondrood sits in private 2,000 m² gardens with mountain views. Eight individually themed suites mix historic character with modern comforts — think iPod docks, minibars, LCD TVs, desks and laptop‑compatible safes, plus rainfall showers and daily housekeeping. Cozy lounge with a grand fireplace and a fully stocked bar add to the warm, boutique vibe.

Soak in the outdoor pool and heated jacuzzi/spa tub, stroll the tranquil gardens, or sip coffee on the breakfast veranda while the mountains glow. Concierge and tour desk can book wine‑tram trips and local excursions. Free on‑site self‑parking and an airport shuttle are available (surcharge). Babysitting/childcare offered for families.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, desks and laptop‑compatible safes in rooms, plus a front‑desk safe‑deposit box. Laundry and dry‑cleaning services are available to keep business travel simple.

Start each day with a complimentary buffet breakfast served on the outdoor veranda with mountain views. On‑site bar/lounge and a restaurant serving local cuisine make evenings easy, while the main village is a short stroll away for world‑renowned Franschhoek dining.
