Boschendal Farm, Franschhoek, South Africa

A Private Villa or Lodge in South Africa

Camp Details

Agriculture and a simple farm lifestyle is at the heart of Boschendal. One of the oldest farms in South Africa, founded 1685, the farm has grown with the passing centuries into a cherished source of wholesome produce, great wines and happy memories.

Set in the Drakenstein Valley surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes, lush gardens and vines, the original farmstead complex is now a national monument with a rich and intriguing history of more than 300 years.

Luxurious cottage accommodation ranges from the exclusive and historic Rhodes Cottage built by Sir Herbert Baker and elegant Werf Cottages to the beautifully restored and contemporary Clarence Cottage and Orchard Cottages. Guests enjoy access to the entire farm where they can walk and cycle on trails through mountain fynbos, have dinner under the stars, picnics and sundowners in exclusive areas, fly-fish in the dams and swim in the refreshing mountain water.
