French farmhouse getaway in Franschhoek, Chapter House Boutique Hotel reflects the heritage

of its little community.  Franschhoek’s original settlers were French Huguenot immigrants who significantly influenced the region after receiving a parcel of land, formerly referred to as Oliphantshoek (Elephant’s corner), from the Dutch government.

Franschhoek, characterized by its pristine Cape Dutch buildings, tree-lined avenues, and vineyards, has become an exceptionally favored destination for romance and culture.  The Franschhoek Motor Museum has four warehouses that exhibit an exceptional collection of antique automobiles, whilst the Huguenot Museum commemorates the original settlers, and the Solms-Delta Museum honors South African cultural heritage.

Founded as a mission station in 1888, the hotel features French farmhouse design, highlighting the historic structure’s elevated ceilings and wooden flooring.  The décor is intriguing, effectively merging heritage design with local innovation, charm, and color.  The hotel offers three room categories: Classic, Deluxe, and Superior, with select options featuring private plunge pools, Jacuzzis, or courtyards.  Relax on a poolside lounger, savor breakfast on the patio, and read in the library.  Conclude your day with a glass of cognac from the bar.
