FransmansCottage

Who says farm-style life can’t be luxurious? Nestled in the gorgeous Devon Valley – just outside of the historic town of Stellenbosch – Fransmanskraal offers guests three wonderful accommodation options, depending on their needs and desires.

Fransmanshuis is a five star-rated farm villa with all the bells and whistles, including four ensuite bedrooms, breathtaking views, an indoor fireplace, an outdoor entertainment area, a sparkling pool, a wood-fired hot tub and beautifully manicured gardens. Just next door is the three-bedroom FransmansCottage, which boasts a charming indoor fireplace, a private garden and an outdoor bath and shower… and then there’s Klein Frans, a super-private and secluded cabin for two, surrounded by sprawling vineyards and offering guests the ultimate romantic retreat.

Good to know
The hosts supply enough wood and firelighters for your first fire, and more is available to purchase. Bookings must be for a minimum of two nights.
