“This boutique hotel, tucked away on a quiet side street near Franschhoek's main road, strikes me as a meticulously restored historic building blending colonial charm with modern luxury. From what I've gathered, each of the 17 guest rooms features individual designs, bespoke furnishings, and premium bedding, plus on-site wellness experiences add to the appeal. I imagine unwinding by the outdoor swimming pool, with its mountain views, after a day exploring the nearby award-winning restaurants and wine-tasting venues.”
