La Residence

Picture


Country:  South Africa

Location: Franschoek
 
Style: Luxury Lodge


La Residence is located in the beautiful Franschhoek valley at the heart of a private 30-acre estate which is surrounded by vineyards and plum orchards, with a stunning mountain backdrop.

Indian chandeliers hang from the vaulted ceiling; original artwork and huge mirrors grace the walls; furnishings are plush and colourful.  

The 11 suites are individually furnished with antiques, fine Persian rugs, and an eclectic mix of objets d’art.   Every suite has its own colour scheme and set of design influences, from the exotic Tibetan Suite with its oriental antiques and rich orange tones to the blue and yellow Chambre Bleu with its Provençal antiques, velvets and silks.

For those seeking something a bit different, La Residence Villas in the vineyard offer a variety of configurations to suit every requirement.   As an alternative to the main hotel, you can enjoy a villa for 2, or share a villa for 4 or 6.  These are designed with open-plan living and dining areas, private terraces and gardens.

Dining at La Residence restaurant is always a leisurely experience.  Begin with an apéritif in the loggia to experience sunset over the dam or sit beside the fire for cocktails and canapés by candlelight.

The baronial restaurant is resplendent with chandeliers, black and white flooring and vast fireplaces, while outside the Persian Alley offers a delightful setting for alfresco summer meals.

For something a little different, indulge in your own personalised cookery demonstration at the chef’s table where your dinner will be prepared, course by course, with full opportunity for interaction. 

La Residence offers a number of activities to ensure a varied and enjoyable stay.  You can enjoy a dip in the villa’s magnificent infinity pool or recline on a sun-lounger under a shady umbrella. 

Alternatively, unwind with a massage in the spa treatment room or head to the gym for a spot of vigorous exercise! 

When temperatures drop, curl up with a book in the library and hide away until cocktail time. 

If you feel like venturing out to the village, a complimentary transfer service will take you for dining at one of the local restaurants.  Private cheese or wine tasting can be arranged at one of the surrounding Franschhoek winelands.

You can also play golf, go trout fishing or quad-biking, paragliding, hot-air ballooning or take a horseback tour of the surrounding wine farms.  

A more sedate excursion is the horse-drawn carriage ride through the local village.   Costs of these additional activities are obtained from the hotel.

La Residence is a magnificent wedding venue with towering mountains and the exhilarating sweep of a vine-covered valley as a backdrop.
