The beautiful Franschhoek Valley, at the heart of South
Africa’s Winelands, is home to La Providence – a small
and luxurious boutique wine farm. Situated at the foot
of the majestic Middagkrans Mountain, the farm commands
awe-inspiring views of the valley and is completely
surrounded by mountains.
Noted for its wine production and luxurious guest
accommodation, La Providence offers visitors the
opportunity to experience Franschhoek in regal style.
The estate is located behind the famous Huguenot
Monument and is only five minutes walk to Franschhoek’s
main road, which, is home to several of the
widely-acclaimed restaurants such as Reubens, Le
Quartier Francais, Le Bon Vivant and many more.
The valley also boasts over forty wine estates,
resulting in its title of “Gourmet Capital of South
Africa”.
In addition to some superb golf courses, the Franschhoek
Winelands also provides a wonderful location for other
pursuits such as hiking, horse riding and trout fishing.

Sundowners are perfect in the gazebo by the pond, or a
glass of our wonderful wine beside the swimming pool.
