3. Babylonstoren
This retreat just outside Cape Town in Franschhoek is wonderful. Owned by the same people that own the Newt in Somerset, there is a certain feel of English countryside here. A modern home away from home. Be sure to check out their award-winning olive oil whilst you’re there.
2. Labotessa

1. La Cotte Farm
Another favourite of ours is located in Franschhoek just outside Cape Town. These simplistic cottages are perfect for a family break outside of the city. Stylishly decorated, this hotel is the perfect spot for enjoying a peaceful holiday in the quiet of your own terrace.
