About Cook's Cottage

This charming and well-loved self-catering cottage is situated on a serene residential street in the heart of Franschhoek village. Cook's Cottage is just a short stroll from the village center and is perfect for families or small groups of friends.

Self-Catering Accommodation

Cook's Cottage accommodates up to 4 adults in 2 double bedrooms and provides additional space for 2 children in a Tintin-themed bunk room. The cottage features a covered verandah with outdoor dining and a braai area that opens to a shaded side garden, as well as a private front courtyard garden complete with a 3x3m plunge pool and delightful views of the surrounding mountains. Inside, the well-appointed kitchen, dining area, wood-burning fireplace, and an upstairs pyjama lounge offer warmth, comfort, and a genuine sense of home.

On the ground floor, you will find 2 bedrooms: a double bedroom and a bunk room for children, along with a shared bathroom equipped with a toilet and shower. The master bedroom, located upstairs, boasts a king-size bed and an open-plan bathroom featuring a large free-standing bath partially enclosed by a half-wall, with scenic views through a large window. Additionally, the master suite includes an en-suite toilet and a separate shower and basin area. The upstairs pyjama lounge, complete with a TV, DVD player, and a selection of DVDs for both adults and children, provides a cozy retreat for children.

The open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area of Cook's Cottage facilitates effortless self-catering, reflecting its name. The modern kitchen, equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, and Le Creuset cookware, includes an island with bar seating for 3. This overlooks a separate dining table with seating for 6, offering ample space and a relaxed ambiance for all occasions.

In the main living area, three inviting sofas surround a wood-burning Morso fireplace, complemented by an overhanging flat-screen TV with DStv and a surround-sound system. This space is ideal for cozy winter evenings or, with the door open to the plunge pool in the front courtyard, a refreshing summer retreat.

French doors from the kitchen and dining area lead to a side verandah with a table and chairs for 6, a spacious daybed, and a Weber braai for alfresco meals.

Additional Facilities

American shutters on all windows and doors allow for cooling breezes during the summer months, while the front courtyard garden features sun loungers on a deck for those sunny days when relaxation is the priority.
