Avondrood Guest House | Franschhoek, SA This picturesque guest house is just an hour’s drive from Cape Town, situated in the peaceful Winelands country also known as the Franschhoek Valley. Avondrood’s original Victorian Cape-Dutch home offers guests a beautiful peaceful stay with a rich historical feel of French Huguenot culture combined with all of the modern luxuries and amenities you desire. Just a short stroll down the road you will find the main village of Franschhoek with world-renowned restaurants, charming gift shops, cafes and magnificent historical buildings and museums to explore. If rest is what you need, stay in and enjoy the tranquil gardens at Avondrood. Private and scenic the 2000sq meter gardens surround a large pool, heated jacuzzi and outdoor breakfast veranda which boasts views of the mountains. Inside the main house you can relish in the spacious lounge next to the grand fireplace or settle into your favourite cocktail at the fully stocked bar and watch the game. There are eight large suites to choose from, all lavishly decorated with individual themes and character. Wake to a full breakfast with your stay,served with locally roasted coffee.
We take personal care in your stay with Avondrood being a family owned and run business – rest assured that every detail will be taken care of. We look forward to hosting you soon.
Close by you will find two high-ranking golf courses; Pearl Valley and Boschenmeer. Most of the surrounding vineyards offer wine tasting followed by lunch should you so wish. The vineyards and the surrounding countryside can be explored by car, bicycle, on horseback or on foot; in short there is lot for you to enjoy and experience in Franschhoek. But should you prefer to take it more leisurely then why not simply enjoy the African sun from the side of our swimming pool, or from our patio or garden; Franschhoek has on average 3000 hours of sun a year and the sunrises and sunsets are a must-see in their own right, which can be viewed from the comfort of Avondrood Guesthouse.
