Contemporary barn-style suites in a picturesque farm setting in the Franschhoek Valley
In the famed Franschhoek valley, an hour from Cape Town, enjoy self-catering luxury with mountain vistas. Gîte provides the ultimate retreat: upscale suites amidst serene farmland making use of solar power, yet steps away from the town's culinary treasures. Indulge in luxurious spa treatments, local wine and wood-fired hot tubs that also serve as plunge pools for warmer days. Embrace panoramic views, unwind by the mountain stream bordering each suite, and immerse in relaxation or a good book. The French word, ‘Gîte’ signifies a unique holiday lodging, often old farm buildings near the owner's residence, an apt name for the barn-style suites.
