Set on the original site of Franschhoek’s first perfumery, today it’s the heavenly scent of chef Louis Jansen’s cooking that inspires at the Monneaux Restaurant, a Cape culinary classic. The restaurant serves an inspired contemporary take on Mediterranean classics influenced by local Cape Malay flavours which is skilfully blended into signature dishes and complimented by fresh seasonal produce sourced from the wine lands area.

The underground cellar is available for private functions where dinner can be enjoyed by an impressive selection of local and foreign wines. The restaurant’s bar lounge provide a comfortable environment to relax and enjoy the company you’re with.

All suites and villas (cottages) are tastefully decorated with a modern colonial twist. All have private balconies or patios (or both), luxury bathrooms and beds that you could sleep for days in. The Standard de Luxe Room is situated in the original manner house, showcasing original features. The Luxury Rooms are separately located from the main house and host a luxurious lounge area, fire place and one of the best indulgences – under carpet heating, great for those winter months. Finally there are the cottages which are perfect for if you are travelling with young children, as it gives them the space to be kids.
