Drive through the splendour of the Groot Drakenstein, through its orchards, vineyards and tranquil parklands, to a house that embodies the rich heritage of the Franschhoek and Groot Drakenstein Valleys.

Built in 1700s with its distinctive Cape-Dutch gables that were enhanced by sympathetic Hubert Baker renovations in 1907, Lekkerwijn invites its guests to stroll through the peacock-adorned gardens, relax by the swimming pool and be charmed in its classically furnished rooms.

Lekkerwijn is an unforgettable base for the single traveller, couples or parties of up to 12 to explore the delights of the Franschhoek and Stellenbosch Valleys.

This historic family home offers an enchanting combination of bed and breakfast (single, double and twin) accommodation in the Main House or self-catering in the Coach House to suit all situations, occasions and budgets.

Relax by the swimming pool, which is a the perfect temperature at the end of a long day touring. Lekkerwijn has lots of it's own fauna, the peacocks and guinea fowel will parade particularly at any hint of being fed and Pashmina (our Stafordshire Bull-terrier) will try and round them all up at the slightest opportunity. There are also two resident owls who breed regularly. Wander round Lekkerwijn's park-like lands and see some of the most stunning views of mountains in the winecountry. The more relaxed sitting room has a stereo and TV. Special wine tastings and dinners can be arranged at the house by prior arrangement. The Coach House cottage is ideal for couples with babies, we do baby sitting.
