Avondrood Guest House is a charming well-maintained Victorian Cape-Dutch style house built in 1870. It has been tastefully renovated adding modern-day comforts whilst retaining many features of the original building. There are eight generous rooms each with a distinctive décor creating a unique ambiance and with luxurious comforts of its own. As we enjoy fine arts, a contemporary selection of paintings and sculptures decorate the rooms, lounge, garden and patio. The premises are surrounded by a lush secluded 2000 square meter garden with private swimming pool. Franschhoek should be top of the list for anyone visiting South Africa.
