Overview of Boschendal Retreat Cottages

South Africa, Franschhoek

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Boschendal Farm, the Retreat Cottages blend style and simplicity with a relaxed farmstead atmosphere. As you drive up the estate's tree-lined driveway, your private cottage appears on the horizon, beckoning you to a peaceful getaway.

Spend your days wandering footpaths in search of sun-dappled clearings for a picnic, or cycling along mountainside trails to lookout points with sweeping views across the Simonsberg. When you're not exploring the countryside, head to the main Werf for an afternoon of decadent chocolate and wine tastings, followed by an evening of fine dining.

Little ones are invited to join the Treehouse Programme, with fun-filled activities every hour. They can enjoy supervised animal petting, guided tours of the organic food garden helping chefs pick fresh herbs, or simply spend hours climbing the jungle gym with new friends.

As a working farm, Boschendal offers an effortless balance of vibrance and tranquillity for every member of the family. The cottages are ideal for families and friends seeking an inclusive Cape Winelands getaway, complete with thrilling on-site activities, lively restaurants, and private sanctuaries.

Africa Safari Expert

The Retreat Cottages at Boschendal are perfect if you want farm-style living with a touch of luxury – think private space, mountain trails, and wine on tap just down the road. What I love most is how easy it is for families: kids can run wild with the Treehouse Programme while adults slip away for tastings or just enjoy the peace of the Winelands.
