This picturesque guest house is just an hour's drive from Cape Town, situated in the peaceful Winelands country also known as the Franschhoek Valley. Avondrood's original Victorian Cape-Dutch home offers guests a beautiful peaceful stay with a rich historical feel of French Huguenot culture combined with all of the modern luxuries and amenities you desire.
Private and scenic, the 2000sq metre gardens surround a large pool, heated jacuzzi and outdoor breakfast veranda which boasts views of the mountains. Inside the main house, there is a spacious lounge next to the grand fireplace and a fully stocked bar. There are eight large suites to choose from, all lavishly decorated with individual themes and character. Wake to a full breakfast with your stay, served with locally roasted coffee.

We loved the gorgeous property of Avondrood, as well as the prime location into town. The staff was exceptionally helpful and made sure we were prepared for our days over another delicious breakfast. The room was clean, spacious and beautiful.
The Avondrood is one of our favorite places we've ever stayed. It was incredibly charming, clean and in the best location. The staff was incredible and so personable. We loved Franschhoek so much and hope to return one day to the Avondrood!
