Farmstay holiday rentals in Franschhoek

We had such a lovely time on the farm. As others have said the photos don’t do it justice. So beautiful and peaceful. Jo was very helpful and the team in the tasting room were great. Wish we could have stayed longer !

Felt like stepping into an episode of MTV Cribs — but with better wine and even better views. The place was spotless, stylish, and honestly even more impressive in person than in the photos. Yolanda was a dream host — proactive, flexible, and super easy to communicate with. She made check-in smooth and gave us space to fully relax and enjoy. We had to cut our stay a little shorter than expected due to other plans, but we easily could’ve stayed a few more days just soaking it all in. Highly recommend — this one’s a gem.

Mieke’s cottage truly is a home from home. The home has all amenities, modern and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. There was a lovely welcome selection of drinks in the fridge, and a lovely bottle of wine. Lozanne is a wonderful host - she is attentive and kind. The children (and the adults) absolutely loved the animals. The splash pool was a lovely treat. We stayed for just over two weeks, and we were so sad to leave. We felt safe and secure at all times. When needed, Lozanne and her husband were on hand when we had a question. We hope to return to stay at the cottage when we visit in 2026. 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you for making our visit to South Africa such a special one.

Such a lovely place. Beautiful views, very peaceful, lots of amenities. Richard and team couldn’t have been more friendly.

Poenie's place is a delicious place in the middle of a dreamy location. We've spent 3 nights in her guest house. There is a double bed with nice bedding, a kitchen with a microwave and all the utensils needed. The bathroom shower was also great.There's a gorgeous swimming pool right in front of the house, that is shared with other guests. The view is spetacular, it was great to play domino while the cows were comunicating with each other under the moonlight. Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to visit the Middelvlei Wine Estate because we had planned on having lunch on Monday and we didn't check before to make sure it would be open, it wasn't. Oh, and It was the most beautiful place to walk, the lakes, the birds, the animals, the vegetation, the grape vines, everything made our stay unforgettable.

We stayed at the pool house at Mitres Edge for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. It was incredibly spacious and we had access to the huge pool and lovely outdoor entertainment area and hot tub which was a real bonus. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

What a location for starters! Stunning! Richard met us as we arrived and got us acquainted with the place. It's pretty much exactly as it looks on the photos, and everything is clean and tidy. We were able to use the pool, but it was freezing due to the time of year, but being Brits...we never let that get in the way! it was private, safe and close to Franschoek centre (walkable). We were also treated to a bottle of wine from the vineyard, which was delicious. If you book Richard's place, you won't regret it! oh, and the bed in the main bedroom was the comfiest bed I've ever slept in!

Really calm and chill stay, very proactive owners who seem to be there for you for whatever you need. Ideally located just outside of the busy streets of Stellenbosch. If you are looking for something on your trip through the wine lands, this is 100% it

We stayed at Tim’s farm during our trip to Cape Town to spend time near where my father grew up. It was absolutely fantastic. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well stocked. My kids had so much fun exploring the property. There was so much to do for them: the playground, playing in the River, fishing, running around just being kids. It is so peaceful and tranquil there too. We enjoyed it was short drive to Franschhoek and nearby wineries. Tim was so lovely and responsive. I cannot say enough great things about staying here. We will keep La Ferme on our list of places to stay when in the area. Thank you for everything Tim!

A truly peaceful and beautiful little gem nestled between the beautiful Stellenbosch mountains. Leonard and Valeria are wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome. I would love to spend more time here in the future, two days was not enough to enjoy the beautiful home and surroundings.

We had a great stay at Vin’s place with our dogs. The place is clean, peaceful and the garden is beautiful. Vin is super responsive and accommodating, and full of good local recommendations !

Kirsty was an amazing host! The property was perfect with everything we needed. The whole estate is so well kept. The rusks were delicious. I didn’t bring the correct adapters for the hairdryer and within minutes of me messaging her she produced one! We will definitely be back. Thank you so much. You should be very proud of such a fabulous property.

A great stay that is a perfect hideaway. Dorita was a wonderful, understanding host and we would definitely looked to stay there again if we are in the area.

Beautifully decorated rooms with spectacular gardens! Welcome reception by host, clean room and comfortable bed. Value for money and highly recommend!

Such a beautiful location. We loved the plunge pool in the gorgeous garden. What a view. We enjoyed watching the sunset on the mountains. Great location on the edge of Rustenberg Wine Estate, with its lovely gardens.

What a wonderful place to relax. All amenities available, very clean and gorgeous terrace. Morag Ann is very accommodating. We enjoyed it very much.

What a memorable time we had! The views are magnificent and made our long walks worthwhile.The beds were so comfy! We really enjoyed family time around the fireplace during the evenings. The kids had fun cooling off at the private pool during the day!... but the cherry on top was most definitely those breakfast baskets!

Our trip was made all the more special by our stay in Carol's beautiful home. It was full of wonderful art and artifacts and staying there was one of the highlights of our holiday. We all enjoyed the big, comfortable rooms, the lovely outside dining areas and appreciated all the amenities. The kids loved the sparkling pool and expansive, attractive garden. Carol was so friendly and relaxed and made us feel so welcome. We would wholeheartedly recommend their spot and hope we can stay there again in the near future.

Hanna and her family are the perfect hosts. They are close enough to be there when you need something yet far enough to have the space feel very private. The house was very spacious and perfect for our month long stay. The kids loved the pool and hot tub and they couldn't get enough of the playground and resident bunnies, chickens, and ducks. Their 2 dogs are also a delight! The house has great communal indoor spaces that were used extensively when the weather was not ideal. On sunny days we loved the patio and garden. The perfect location to spend time with loved ones.

Beautiful home in an amazing location. Felt right at home - house is just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the Main Street to feel very private but all within walking distance of anything you need. Jan was a great host and so was Eric who looked after us very well. Will def be back for future trips.

We had a two-night stay, and lunch for my son's 21st birthday on the Saturday. Ruan (recommended by Cora) provided a wonderful catered lunch, and we had pizzas from the pizza oven in the evening. The main house sleeps 9 and the barn 6, so we could send the kids to the barn for late night chats while the grownups called it a night. All in all, it made for a wonderful celebration.

Great host, great communication and lovely place to stay. Will visit again.

Beautiful home with everything you need. Good space with kids too. Comfortable beds!

We had a fabulous stay and the house was perfect for what we needed. We spent time at the house braaing, swimming, playing games but also close to get into Stellenbosch for wine tasting, shopping etc. Cherice and Elana were both always available and very helpful. We loved our time and would highly recommend.
