Boschendal, Franschhoek...

accommodation, activities...

While traveling from Stellenbosch to Franschhoek you will pass Delaire wine estate (R 310 just before you reach Hellshoogte Pass). From here you have a nice view down into the Franschhoek winelands. If you follow R 310 towards Franschhoek you will reach one of the most famous wine estates in the country, Boschendal. If you travel from Paarl R45 will lead you directly to Franschhoek.

Boschendal
If you pop in at lunch time don’t miss the famous picnic lunches. Equipped with a basket of good food and wine you can enjoy the atmosphere of yesteryear in a park-like setup. The Manor House of Boschendal was built in 1812 and is a fine example of the Cape Dutch style. Today the house is used as a museum.

Franschhoek
Situated in a beautiful valley Franschhoek is for many travellers the most beautiful little town in the winelands. Franschhoek means French corner. The town was founded in the late 17^th century by Hugenot refugees. Even today the names of the wine estates reflect the French past of its early inhabitants. At the end of the main road you will reach the Hugenot memorial with its museum. In town you can find some fine restaurants and coffee shops.

Scenic mountain route...
If you're not in a hurry you might also travel along the mountain passes (Franschhoek - R45 and Viljoens pass R321) to Grabouw. The little town of Grabouw is an attractive farming are. A nice farm stall offers you fresh farm products and a tea garden. From here you can travel back towards Cape Town or the winelands via the N2. A stop at Sir Lowry's Pass (N2) is also a must. Enjoy magnificent views over the Flase Bay and the Cape Peninsula.
