Discover Avondrood Guest House

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.

Private and scenic, the 2000sq meter 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.
