The Last Word Franschhoek is a five star historic residence in the heart of Franschhoek village, widely regarded as the food and wine capital of South Africa. The hotel is only a minute’s walk from the many award-winning restaurants and numerous character-filled boutique style shops and art galleries. The magnificent Franschhoek valley offers world-class wine estates, tastings and cellar tours nestled between towering mountains and beautiful vineyards and the picturesque French village hosts some of the best cuisine from internationally recognised gourmet chefs. The valley is also the idyllic setting for walking trails, hiking, cycling, bird watching, horse riding and fly-fishing. Golfing enthusiasts are well catered for with several championship golf courses close by.
