Welcome to Franschhoek, an exquisite mountain-ringed valley renowned for its magnificent wines. You’ve arrived at the one place that allows you to experience the splendour of an active wine farm within the borders of a characterful French Huguenot village. Surrounded by vineyards and nature, with art, food, and wine on your doorstep, La Clé is the perfect base to explore one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
The Cape Winelands is an idyllic winemaking region where the sun shines and the wine flows. At La Clé, situated on one the oldest streets in the historic village in buildings dating back over 300 years, you are perfectly placed in the centre of it all. Spread over two farms, La Clé offers a first-hand taste of what it’s like to live in a wine-producing valley.
We do all we can to make you feel entirely at home during your stay. Across our two wine farms, located mere minutes from the heart of the village, we offer five distinctly-styled suites and four exclusive-use villas amidst orchards, lavender-flecked gardens, and working vineyards.
Enjoy a warm welcome as the scent of thatch and jasmine greet you and local artworks draw your eye. The lodge offers five Cape-style appointed suites, accompanied by laidback, shared table meals, and generous outdoor spaces looking out onto our manicured gardens, pool, dam and verdant vines.
Reading nooks and sunny deck chairs, sprawling spaces, private pools and lush gardens: our four uniquely-decorated villas combine the privacy and comfort of home with the service and convenience of ultimate hospitality. Each has its own character, allowing you to soak up the tranquillity of exclusivity. Perfect to share with family or friends.
