| The
beautiful Franschhoek Valley, at the heart of South
Africa's Winelands, is home to La Providence
– a small and luxurious Boutique Wine Farm.
Situated at the foot of the majestic
Middagkrans Mountain, the farm commands awe-inspiring
views of the valley and is completely surrounded by
mountains.
Noted for its wine production and
luxurious guest accommodation, La Providence offers
visitors the opportunity to experience Franschhoek in
regal style.
The estate is located behind the famous
Huguenot monument and is only five minutes’ walk
to Franschhoek’s main road, which is home to several
of the widely-acclaimed restaurants. The valley also
boasts over forty wine estates, resulting in its title
“Gourmet Capital of South Africa”.
In addition to some superb golf courses,
the Franschhoek Winelands also provides a wonderful
location for other outdoor pursuits such as horse riding
and trout fishing.
La Petite Providence
'La Petite Providence' is an elegant
guest cottage offering the discerning traveller superb
accommodation in an unsurpassed location. Situated on
a working wine estate, in the beautiful Cape Winelands
Village of Franschhoek, the luxurious accommodation
is graded Five-star by the Tourism Grading Council of
South Africa (TGCSA) and 'Superior Accommodation' by
the AA. The cottage caters for four guests in two double
bedrooms.
Throughout the cottage, the décor
and furnishings are of the highest standards, with rich
tapestry cushions and wonderful artworks. The 'Sleigh'
room, with its wonderful leather sleigh bed, has an
en-suite bathroom while the 'French' room has a full,
luxurious bathroom next to the room. Both bedrooms have
double doors that open directly to the swimming pool.
Adjacent to the large lounge/dining
area is the fully-fitted kitchen. However, with Franschhoek
being known as 'The Gourmet Capital of South Africa',
it's unlikely you'll want to prepare your own food,
but will probably choose to eat in one of the many fabulous
restaurants in Franschhoek.
The cottage overlooks a large duck
pond with an abundance of wildlife and provides an oasis
of tranquility; perfect for enjoying the wildlife and
stunning mountain views - all from your own doorstep.
Guests will find several seating areas
suited for various purposes: Sitting under the pergola
for an alfresco breakfast will keep the sun's rays at
bay. Sundowners are perfect in the gazebo by the pond,
or a glass of our wonderful wine beside the swimming
pool.
Facilities
Behind La Petite Providence is the
beautiful guest swimming pool. If you're not partial
to an early morning swim, a quick dip as the daytime
temperatures rise will always be refreshing. For those
not keen on the water, perhaps a lazy day around the
pool may be more suitable.
The tennis court is just a short distance
from the cottage, with racquets available for guests'
use.
A fully equipped office is available
for the exclusive use of our guests. This workspace
is equally suitable for the executive to conduct business
whilst away from the office or for non-business guests
to send and retrieve their e-mail. The computer has
Internet access and also spreadsheet and word-processing
applications. A fax machine and telephone are also on
hand to assist with your communications.
Secure parking is provided close to
the Cottage & the Mews Flat.
