Esperon Farm: Mountain View Cottage

Nestled in the picturesque Banhoek Valley, between Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, Esperon Farm is the ultimate country getaway – and the ideal base from which to explore the wonders of the Cape winelands. There are two standalone self-catering cottages to choose from – the one-bedroomed Vine Cottage or the two-bedroomed Mountain View Cottage – each boasting its own unique character and offering spectacular vistas. Meaning “hope” in French, Esperon promises to be a peaceful, uplifting escape that soothes your mind and allows your heart to expand – particularly from the comfort of Vine Cottage’s romantic wood-fired hot tub.
