An integral part of the experience at Franschhoek's La Residence is the elaborate and unique interior of each suite. Every suite has its own colour scheme and set of design influences, from the exotic Tibetan Suite with its oriental antiques and rich orange tones to the blue and yellow Chambre Bleu with its Provençal antiques, velvets and silks.
Please note that while we will do our best to accommodate your room preference we can only guarantee a room category and not a specific room.

Because the cuisine is such an integral part of the experience at La Residence, our guests will often sit down with the chefs to discuss their preferences and dietary requirements with menus being tailored accordingly.

Night-time dining at La Residence is always something to look forward to and is also available at an additional cost. Begin with an apéritif in the loggia while watching the sunset over the dam, or sit beside the fire for cocktails and canapés by candlelight.

Best place on earth. The staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help. They did everything with so much grace and excellence. Given that it is Covid and that things are particularly difficult for the industry and those that work in it, I cannot imagine that it has been an easy time for them. Yet, excellence prevailed at all times. Loved it, appreciate it and would definitely come back.
