Le Quartier Francais is a well-known and highly revered boutique hotel in the Franschhoek Valley. With just 20 individually designed rooms and suites, including two family-style House Suites, the property is ideally located on the main street of town, within easy walking distance from various, high end boutiques and restaurants. Le Quartier Francais' Tasting Room restaurant (open Tuesday through Saturday) continues to garner awards in cuisine and shouldn't be missed.

Wildlife Viewing & Activities

Activities abound in Franschhoek and the surrounding areas. Vineyard tours and wine tastings are at your doorstep. Book a private half- or full-day tour and tasting (extra cost) at many of the local vineyards, some dating back over 300 years. Local festivals go on much of the year. Lovely walks are fun ways to be active and see the town. Rent bikes from the hotel for quiet back-street cycling, or just take a relaxing stroll through the indigenous herb and sculpture garden or art gallery. Other excursions and activities that can be arranged prior to travel or through the hotel concierge at additional cost include cooking classes, wine tours, historic tours, trips to Drakenstein Lion Park, aquarium visits, golfing in Paarl on some of South Africa's championship courses, and visits to the town, vineyards and shops of Stellenbosch.

While not a primary wildlife viewing area, the Cape Winelands is home to Eagle Encounters and Cheetah Outreach, both conservation and rehabilitation focused wildlife interaction experiences.
