Franschhoek holiday accommodation is popular for its gourmet restaurants and magnificent surroundings.  The Franschhoek valley is renowned for its  historic wine estates that lie in the valley between the Klein Drakenstein and Wemmershoek mountains on the northern side and the Groot Drakenstein and Franschhoek mountains to the south.

Franschhoek's exceptional scenic beauty can be seen all year round - in summer the area is covered in green vineyards; in autumn it reflects the gold and orange colours of the vine leaves and in winter it is cold with surrounding snow capped peaks -  perfect for cozy fireplace meals and lots of red wine.

Supporters of sport events such as the ABSA Cape Epic, Bergriver Canoe Marathon and the Argus Pick and Pay cycle tour find Franschhoek to be a relaxing haven after the events.

Local Festivals are a favourite attraction. These include the Franschhoek Cheese Festival in April, Franschhoek Literary Festival in May, Bastille Day celebrations in July and the Nederberg wine Festival in October.
