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.

Exceptional travel agent and overall experience!!
Leigh Ann was an exceptional travel agent who went above and beyond to make our trip to Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe unforgettable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and what made the experience even better was her personal perspective—insights you simply won’t find online. She shared tips that added so much value to our trip and made everything feel more meaningful. Leigh Ann was available anytime we had questions, which made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. From the initial planning stages to our return, every detail was seamless and perfectly coordinated. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, I highly recommend Leigh Ann. She truly gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Leigh Ann!
