Located on a beautiful private estate in the heart of the famous and picturesque Franschhoek Valley; known as the 'Culinary Capital of South Africa', sits the magnificent La Residence Hotel.
La Residence was voted as Travel & Leisure Magazine World's Best Award: Best Resort Hotel in Africa 2017.
The 30-acre estate is the perfect location to unwind, with swimming pools, a spa, restaurant, vineyards and various private seating areas in which to relax and read a good book.
The hotel comprises of 16 rooms and suites in three different room types. An integral part of the experience at Franschhoek’s La Residence is the elaborate and unique interior of each suite. Every suite has its own color scheme and set of design influences, from the exotic Tibetan Suite with its oriental antiques and rich orange tones to the blue and yellow Chambre Bleu with its Provençal antiques, velvets, and silks.
For families and those who seek something a bit different, La Residence’s Vineyard Suites offer a variety of configurations to suit every requirement. Enjoy the luxury of a suite for two, or share a suite for four or six. Just as luxurious but with open-plan living, dining areas, private terraces, and gardens, our Vineyard Suites offer a secluded and social alternative to the main hotel. All in all, the suites are an ideal example of luxurious Franschhoek hotel accommodation.
The Spa at La Residence in Franschhoek allows you to indulge your body and senses in an array of pampering treatments either in the tranquil, air-conditioned double treatment room or in the privacy of your own suite or balcony.
The hotel also offers a wine tasting experience so guests can sample the hotels own wine collection as well as other distinguished South African wines.
Executive Chef Lennard Marais oversees the dining experience at La Residence. His cuisine emphasizes fresh, local ingredients, many of which are grown on the estate.
A complimentary transfer is available to escort guests into the local village of Franschhoek while many of South Africa’s top wine estates are just a short drive away.

Sabi Sands Game Reserve reservations made easy
Made safari reservations with Pascal John. He was very helpful as we had a specific time frame that corresponded with the rest of our Africa trip. Pascal John was professional, sent documents on time, and and with no errors. He responded via email very very quickly. We definitely recommend Safari.com and Pascal John!

Heleen was great
Heleen was meticulous with our requirements and recomendations. We changed a number of times so it was a bit awkward but nothing too much for her. Its not easy booking from abroad but we received all the information we needed and actual booking and payment was simple

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!
