La Residence

La Residence is situated in the Franschhoek Valley on a thirty-acre estate filled with vines, fruit trees, flowers, and spectacular gardens, and surrounded by majestic mountains and rolling vineyards. The magical setting epitomizes the allure of South Africa’s Cape Winelands. Magnificent interiors are filled with rich fabrics, beautiful artwork, and antique furniture. Eleven individually decorated suites enjoy vibrant color schemes and spectacular views. On warm days, the infinity pool beckons. Sip drinks under a shady umbrella, or relax with treatments in the spa. The air-conditioned gym caters to the more energetic! Five minutes’ drive from the charming curio shops and galleries of Franschhoek village, the hotel provides complimentary transfers so you can explore at your leisure. There are excellent village restaurants to try, as well as a range of activities from horse-riding to chocolate-tasting excursions. Service is warm and personalized: an atmosphere of ease and relaxation pervades. Fresh produce from the garden and fine local wines create memorable dining experiences.

A stone’s throw from the Main Hotel, in a tranquil vineyard setting, are the five Vineyard Suites that offer spacious accommodation in a variety of configurations for up to twenty guests, including children of all ages. There are stylish rooms for dining and relaxing, and luxurious bedrooms with marble en-suite bathrooms. All have private terraces and gardens; four have their own pools. Dine either in your suite or the central Terrace Room, beside a fire or around the rim-flow pool. An open kitchen allows full interaction with the chef; the Sitting Room is cozy with a bar and a wide-screen television. The Vineyard Suites offer complete flexibility, comfort, and superior service to make holidaying with family and friends effortless and enjoyable.
