Manoir is a haven of heritage with a nod to the traditional Cape Dutch architecture of the Western Cape. Drawing from the rich history of Franschhoek, Manoir exudes an air of sophistication throughout the interiors. Designed with the spirit of French linen, beautiful antiques, unexpected furnishings and muted colures are at the heart of the villa’s charming character. The villa has a deep wrap-around terrace providing ample space to relax.
The family style kitchen opens up to a beautiful sun room where breakfast is served with French doors opening up onto the back terrace, garden and pool. The lounge area is cool in summer and wonderfully snug in winter with a roaring fire. The dining room is fit for a banquet with a long table that seats up to 12 people. The study and extensive library, also with a fireplace, is the perfect place to retreat with a good book or it provides the ideal work from ‘home’ environment.
The master suite consists of the main bedroom, dressing room and the most beautiful bathroom. The second smaller bedroom has twin beds and a small bathroom with a lounge leading off this. Both lead onto the wraparound terrace with views over the garden and vineyards. Manoir is more suited to a couple or family, rather than two couples.
A Continental breakfast is included and served every morning and on request, a private chef can be arranged for a surcharge. The villa is within walking distance to restaurants and cafés.
The Domaine offers a concierge service, airport shuttles (on request, extra charge) and free Wi-Fi. Wine on arrival, evening drinks and canapés, selected drinks, transfers into Franschhoek Valley and use of the bicycles are all included within the rates.
This villa provides the perfect central point for an extended family or group of friends who are staying in 2 or more of the villas. The expansive dining room, spacious lounge and deep terrace provide ample space for long lunches and lively dinners.
The property is situated only 200m from the centre of Franschhoek and Cape Town International Airport is 78 km away
