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, offering swimming pools, a spa, a restaurant, vineyards, and various private seating areas that are ideal for relaxing or reading a good book.
The hotel consists of 16 rooms and suites, available in three different types. An integral part of the experience at Franschhoek’s La Residence is the elaborate and unique interiors of each suite. Every suite has its own color scheme and set of design influences. For example, the exotic Tibetan Suite features oriental antiques and rich orange tones, while the blue and yellow Chambre Bleu is adorned with Provençal antiques, velvets, and silks.
For families or those seeking a different experience, La Residence’s Vineyard Suites offer a variety of configurations to suit every requirement. Whether you prefer the luxury of a suite for two, or a larger suite for four or six, the Vineyard Suites provide open-plan living, dining areas, private terraces, and gardens. These suites offer a secluded yet social alternative to the main hotel and embody the very best of luxurious Franschhoek accommodations.
The Spa at La Residence in Franschhoek invites you to indulge your body and senses with an array of pampering treatments. These can be enjoyed 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, giving guests the opportunity to sample its own wine collection as well as other distinguished South African wines.
Executive Chef Lennard Marais oversees the dining experience at La Residence, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced 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.

It was so easy to make contact with…
It was so easy to make contact with Safari.com and then have someone respond to quickly with well considered advice and options for us to work through for our big game experience in South Africa. Lynn worked with us to pick the best fit for us and get us a great reservation at Rhino Ridge.
