L’Ermitage Franschhoek Chateau & Villas Attractions
Since the arrival of the French Huguenots in the 17th century, the town of Franschhoek has developed a reputation as one of South Africa’s culinary hotspots. Only 45 minutes from Cape Town, it is blessed with breath-taking scenery and is home to 8 of the country’s Top 100 Restaurants.
Affectionately known as the ‘French Corner’, boutique wineries and large-scale vineyards provide a refreshing assortment of labels that impress the most seasoned of connoisseurs. Sample local & French cheeses before enjoying an afternoon tour of the Cat se Pad trail on horseback or bicycle.
Explore the streets lined with art galleries and quaint family stores or join the locals for a game of Parisian-style boules.
Whether its enjoying a round at the nearby Jack Nicklaus Pearl Valley Golf Estate, paragliding over the valley, or relaxing with a spot of fly-fishing, this jewel of the Western Cape caters to sportsmen and daredevils alike, not forgetting lovers of the arts who cannot afford to miss Vineyard Brasserie’s live jazz performances on Friday evenings, or history buffs retracing Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom upon his release from nearby Victor Verster Prison in 1990.
As scenic backdrops go, none compare to the viewing deck at L’Ermitage, set above the hotel on the mountain and best enjoyed with a picnic at sunset.
L’Ermitage Franschhoek Chateau & Villas Restaurant
An essential part of the L’Ermitage experience is indulging in breakfast as the French do. Hearty and home cooked, it comes highly recommended by the locals of Franschhoek.
Room service menus are available for lunch and dinner and we go out of our way to cater for events, be it weddings, parties or corporate functions.
Wine Tasting
Whether visiting on business or pleasure, guests are encouraged to enjoy our very own Franschhoek Estate wine with lunch, dinner or at their corporate function. The vineyards on our property allow us to craft year-round vintage and our signature Sauvignon Blanc is said to be the best in the region.
Kizzy’s Bar
If sipping sundowners in the midst of the Cape Winelands sounds appealing, the fruit cocktails and snacks at Kizzy’s Bar make it the perfect spot of heaven. Freshly-baked bread in packed picnic baskets offers the perfect light lunch for sightseers looking to explore the plentiful hills.

L’Ermitage Franschhoek Chateau & Villas Reviews
We stayed in the villa. The views of the lake(river) are beautiful. The hotel staff is very friendly. The unit we stayed in (V10) was spacious. The finishes in the room are lovely. Can fault this hotel. Beautiful mountain view!!!!!!!!!! – clemkat
Our stay at L’Ermitage was fantastic. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and well maintained. The views from the balcony are exquisite. Location was also great – large number of restaurants as well as the Huguenot monument and museums are within walking distance. Breakfast was good as well. Would definitely recommend L’Ermitage to anyone staying in Franschhoek. – SLalloo
Thorougly enjoyed my stay at this luxury resort. Tranquil and relaxing place to unwind. The apartments are spacious and beautifully decorated. The food at the resort is good but there are several other dining options as the resort is located close to the main street and several wine estates which offer excellent meals. – Kubashni07
