River Oak Cottage

A cottage by the river

Among the wine farms of Franschhoek, with the river at the bottom of the garden and the village a short walk away.

Made for the outdoors

River Oak Cottage is for people who like to be outside. The garden runs down to the Franschhoek River, where you can picnic on the bank or sit under the old oak, and a two-seater hot tub stands on a deck above the water.

Inside it is homely and simple: two bedrooms with king beds, two bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining room, a lounge that opens onto the garden and a loft upstairs. Open the loft windows in the morning and you will hear the birds before anything else.

Close to the village

For all the quiet, the village is close. The Wine Tram stop is about 900 metres away and the centre of Franschhoek about a 10-minute walk, so you can leave the car behind for dinner, a tasting or coffee.

Good to know

  • Lights through load shedding
    Backup power keeps the lights on when the power is off.
  • Let yourselves in
    Check in from 14:00 with the lockbox, and check out by 10:00.
  • Not suitable for children
    With the river at the front and an open stair to the loft, the cottage is not suitable for children or babies.
