Setting Description

Situated in the Franschhoek Valley, the Retreat Cottages form part of Boschendal’s 1,800-hectare working farm, surrounded by dramatic mountain ranges and fertile vineyards. The cottages are set away from the main estate hub, creating a peaceful, more private atmosphere while still allowing guests to enjoy everything Boschendal has to offer. From here, guests can explore hiking and mountain biking trails, stroll through the orchards, or discover the estate’s farm-to-table restaurants and acclaimed wines. The surrounding region of Franschhoek is known as South Africa’s culinary capital, with award-winning restaurants and wine estates within easy reach. Whether cycling through the farm, swimming in nearby dams, or simply admiring sunsets over the Simonsberg and Drakenstein mountains, the setting is designed to encourage outdoor living and a slower pace.
