The newest of The Last Word establishments is The Franschhoek, an historic residence in the centre of what many regard as the most picturesque village in the Cape winelands. The village of Franschhoek is a wine and food lover’s delight and a haven for artists. Elegantly restored in the Cape Huguenot tradition, The Franschhoek lies in the heart of the village so is just a minutes walk from numerous character-filled, boutique-style shops and several excellent restaurants (three of which are rated within the top ten in South Africa) In keeping with The Last Word concept of “Freestylishness”, The Franschhoek is a luxurious dream home that offers privacy, tranquility and personal security and is replete with five-star comfort.
There are six luxurious double rooms, which open onto a small shaded garden. All the en-suite bathrooms have travertine tiles, double marble vanities and generous baths to be shared by candlelight for the ultimate in romance. Luxury accommodation facilities at The Franschhoek include a private safe, satellite television, air-conditioning, heated towel rails, underfloor heating, a laundry service and a pool. A lavish breakfast starts the day, and as with all The Last Word retreats, all local beverages are complimentary. Your Host can arrange special wine tours and there are two luxury golf resorts just 15 minutes drive from The Franschhoek. Horse riding, hiking and birdwatching are just some of the other activities on offer in the area.
