FRANSCHHOEK PENTHOUSE - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

When visiting the Western Cape, no visit would be complete without visiting Franschhoek, which is nestled between towering mountains in the beautiful Cape winelands. This is the food and wine heartland of the country, where splendid wines are grown and top chefs create international cuisine. Here breath-taking scenery, warm hospitality, world class cuisine and the finest wines all combine to create lasting memories.

The Penthouse at Bijoux Square is perfectly situated in Huguenot Road, the main street running through Franschhoek and you cannot fail to be delighted by this stunning apartment. Impressively large with high ceilings, and absolutely central you will be very impressed. The apartment is fully-equipped for two people and can seat up to 8 for dining (although with the amazing restaurants you may not want to eat in!)

It has all mod-cons. Smart TV in each room, fully fitted kitchen, free WIFI, both bathrooms with bath and shower, air-conditioning, kitchen equipped with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, Cooker with quality cutlery and crockery etc. etc.

Franschhoek is a place of immense natural beauty which you can explore. The Franschhoek Pass offers stupendous views of the valley, village and the towering Simonsberg mountain. Take a drive up there in the early morning or in the evening for a superb viewing experience.

A popular weekly activity is to visit the Village Market where the community meets each Saturday under the trees in the NG Kerk Grounds. Delicious food, wines, crafts, art and live entertainment are available for your enjoyment. Here you can meet locals and tourists. The varied stalls provide delicious foods and drink, art, jewelry and a wide variety of crafts. It is a place where visitors can enjoy some fine foods, the best coffee and shop for treasures in arts and crafts.

Visiting a Wine Estate for wine tasting is obviously a must do thing in Franschhoek, especially if you like good wines. The Tram Wine trails are simply a must.

Great stay in beautiful Franschhoek

A lovely stay in this perfectly located apartment. Plenty of restaurants and shops within a short stroll and free parking on the roadside. All very convenient! With the recent floods we had to make changes to our trip dates. Trish was a great source of advice and was extremely accommodating. Thank you! Tina & Tim

The most beautiful property in a 10/10 location

This property blew our expectations. Everything from the start just worked. The communication was amazing and we felt at home from the moment we checked in. The property itself was incredible. Full of character, high ceilings and luxurious furnishings. It was the escape to the winelands that we were desperate for. The location is second to none. Right bang in the middle of Franschhoek, we could walk everywhere. But once we were inside, we could see mountains from the windows and the sounds of the streets were gone. We will definitely be returning! Rarely do i review properties. But this one needs to be shouted abour. Easiest 10/10.

A very well located, spacious 2-bed apartment equipped with everything needed for a short stay.

I can’t fault anything .... the whole experience from making the booking, communicating with the owner, locating the apartment, collecting/returning the keys etc., was very easy and efficient. The apartment itself is perfectly located in the centre of the town, but set off the main road at the back of a courtyard. It is very spacious, nicely furnished and and well equipped. Absolutely ideal for a short break in beautiful Franschhoek !

I'll definitely come back

We have just spent a great time in Franschhoek, and the Penthouse at Bijoux Square was perfect. Firstly, it was absolutely central to everything. We just had to walk out of the front door and within seconds we could enjoy the bars, restaurants, Tourist Information, boutiques and art galleries. The owners have created an oasis of calm and we could not fault the place. The apartment is certainly not ‘bijoux’ – it is spacious, gloriously high ceilings, fresh and airy. We cannot fault the place – immaculate, very spacious, central, quiet and with every amenity catered for. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends.
