Just a short drive from the bustle of Cape Town, are the fertile valleys which encompass the wine regions. The picture-postcard towns of the winelands are characterised by their distinctive white washed Cape Dutch style buildings. Accommodation in the Winelands is in smaller, more intimate properties that have been chosen to reflect the traditional hospitality of the region. Le Quartier Francais is set in cosmopolitan Franschhoek, a bustling gourmet centre with caf lined streets. Grande Roche and Lanzerac Manor, are both set in their own extensive grounds and amongst peaceful vineyards. The pace of life is less frenetic than down town Cape Town with an emphasis on relaxation, wine and gourmet cuisine. All the properties have fantastic facilities, such as spa treatments, pools and beautiful countryside to explore. Not to mention all that wine tasting on your doorstep! Golfers are well catered for in this area with many superb courses to choose from.
