Site Inspection: Boschendal in Franschhoek

Another successful site inspection in the Cape Winelands!

Our team recently visited Boschendal in Franschhoek to experience the estate’s accommodation offerings and guest facilities firsthand. As one of the Cape Winelands’ most established wine farms, Boschendal continues to offer a variety of accommodation options that cater to different traveller preferences, whether guests are looking to stay close to the estate’s main activities or enjoy additional privacy in the surrounding countryside.

One of the key advantages of Boschendal is the range of accommodation styles available across the estate.

Accommodation Options

Werf Cottages
Located within walking distance of the Main Werf area, these cottages place guests close to the restaurants, farm shop, deli, wine tasting centre, gardens, and estate activities. They are ideal for travellers who want easy access to the heart of the farm.

Rhodes Cottage
Situated near the Main Werf, Rhodes Cottage offers convenient access to the estate’s facilities while providing additional space and privacy for families or small groups.

Orchard Cottages
Located a short distance from the Main Werf, these cottages offer a peaceful farm setting surrounded by orchards and open spaces while remaining easily accessible to the estate’s main attractions.

Mountain Villa
Positioned further from the Main Werf, the Mountain Villa offers a more secluded stay with expansive views and greater privacy, making it suitable for larger groups or guests seeking a quieter retreat.

The Retreat Cottages
Located in a more private section of the estate, away from the Main Werf, these cottages are designed for guests looking for a tranquil countryside experience while still having access to Boschendal’s facilities and activities.
