Avondrood Guest House
Per Person Sharing
Cape Town International Airport
Built in 1870 and sprinkled with ornate wrought-iron decorative ‘broekie lace', Avondrood is a much-loved 5-bedroom guesthouse set in a massive, leafy garden in the heart of Franschhoek, South Africa's gourmet hub. Ideal for couples and honeymooners who want to explore the top restaurants and outstanding wine estates of this fertile valley that is ringed by craggy peaks, Avondrood also has a spacious family suite that is perfect for larger groups who want to holiday at their own pace.
Dripping in thoughtfully-selected art – including a whimsical elephant statue at the cerulean swimming pool – Avondrood manages to combine gracious, old-school living with modern charm and convenience. Enjoy drinks at the bar in the evening and possibly try your hand at tinkling the ivories of the grand piano in the lounge.
With an unbeatable location that is within strolling distance of Franschhoek's best eateries, art galleries, boutiques and off-beat, family-run shops, Avondrood will also arrange a special rate for you to use the top-notch facilities at the Franschhoek Gym and Health Club – a boon if you feel you have over-indulged on all the delicious food and wines!

Avondrood Guest House is absolutely wonderful. The staff is superior, we could not have been more pleased. Franschhoek is indescribably beautiful, from the Avondrood Guest House, to the lovely village, and the magnificent vineyards (the glorious weather doesn’t hurt!).
This owner run Cape Dutch style guest house dates back to the 1870's and offers guests the perfect combination of French Huguenot history and modern luxuries. Great for those looking for an intimate and personalised experience.
Franschhoek and Avondrood Again, we believe that we could not have stayed at a better place than Avondrood. It is No. 1 in our books. It was fantastic and Justin, the owner was so great. I would go back to Franschhoek only if we could stay there, because we think we would be disappointed if we would stay anywhere else.
