~ Franschhoek ~ Cape Town ~ Western Cape ~ South Africa ~

Akademie Street Guesthouses in Franschoek are different in that they offer five star guest house accommodation in three totally separate and unique guesthouses. Despite their differences, each guesthouse is adjacent to the next and all are situated in a quiet area in the heart of the Cape Winelands village of Franschhoek. In summer the sun shines warmly in Franschhoek but each guest house has its own sun-kissed swimming pool and shady, private garden where one can lie in privacy and listen to the cicadas and the cooing of the Cape Doves – sounds so evocative of the Cape Winelands. It is an easy stroll to the renowned restaurants and attractions in the village of Franschhoek and almost all of the most famous vineyards of the Cape Winelands are a short drive away.

Each of our Franschoek Guesthouses has a special name, Gelatenheid (Equanimity), Oortuiging (Conviction) and Vreugde (Joy) and each Franschhoek guest house joins on to pathways leading through lush gardens to the main house where breakfast is served under a vine covered patio or in the Cape Dutch home called Twyfeling (Doubting).

Akademie Street Guesthouses are the perfect place in the Cape Winelands to enjoy peace, privacy and tranquility but personal attention is always available. Franschhoek is the wine and gourmet capital of the Cape but is less than an hour from down-town Cape Town.

Quotation from Rapport newspaper - "Akademie Street Guesthouses collection is rich in atmosphere, luxury, peace and privacy - it is the ideal hiding place for the traveller who is no longer impressed with five star hotels"
