Our single cottage offers visitors the ultimate luxury: no porters or guests to disturb your privacy. Its just a short walk to art galleries, restaurants and shops on the Main Road.

Your hosts

They met and started dating when they both were studying in Cape Town. They have three children, only the boy of eleven is still at home.

Louis is in the fruit business, packing and exporting soft citrus and stone fruit all over Europe and a view other countries. He drew the floor plans of their house himself. Their house and cottage, with a French touch, were finished in 2006. Marlicia loves making a home for her family, working in the garden, baking and cooking jams. You will be able to enjoy some of her makings.

It feels like coming home. Mrs Marlicia makes sure everything is available on your arrival. There is tea, coffee, beer, wine already available in the house. If you need anything she will be immediately assisting you. Even proposing to pick you up anywhere in Franschhoek if needed. The cottage was clean, neat, with everything you could wish for. I will definitely return there.
