WELCOME TO AKADEMIE STREET GUESTHOUSES

FRANSCHHOEK GUESTHOUSE ACCOMMODATION

FRANSCHHOEK BOUTIQUE HOTEL ACCOMMODATION

FRANSCHHOEK B&B ACCOMMODATION

 

 

Do you want luxury Franschhoek accommodation in a guest house or very small boutique hotel, rather than stay at a sterile, large hotel no matter how luxurious the latter is?

 

Then this luxury Franschhoek guest house (boutique hotel) offers five star guest house accommodation in five unique buildings all situated on the same beautiful property in a quiet area of the village Franschhoek in the heart of the Cape Winelands.

 

In summer, the sun shines warmly on the Akademie Street guest house collection. Three of the buildings, Gelatenheid, Oortuiging and Vreugde each have their own sun-kissed swimming pool and shady, private garden. The fourth building, Uitsig is a separate, large, luxurious upstairs suite with balcony and lovely views. The fifth building, Twyfeling is a gracious Cape Dutch style house with large living rooms and two large bedroom suites. Uitsig and Twyfeling share a large, heated pool and garden.


It is an easy stroll to the renowned restaurants and attractions in the village of Franschhoek and almost all of the most famous vineyards of the Cape Winelands are a short drive away.

 

Akademie Street Guest Houses' accommodation is the perfect place in the Cape Winelands to enjoy peace, privacy and tranquility with personal attention from the owner managers always available. Franschhoek is the wine and gourmet capital of the Cape but is less than an hour from down-town Cape Town.
