Tucked just behind the Huguenot Monument, La Cabrière Country Estate feels a world away – yet Franschhoek’s vibrant main road is only a short walk from your door. Surrounded by open farmland and mountain views, the estate invites you to slow down and reconnect with the natural beauty of the Cape Winelands, while still being close enough to dip into the village’s restaurants, cafés, shops and galleries whenever the mood strikes.
Designed with a sense of ease and flow, La Cabrière offers plenty of room to retreat and unwind. Find a quiet corner with a good book, stretch out beneath the trees, or simply enjoy the feeling of space and stillness that defines the estate. It’s a place where privacy comes naturally, and tranquillity is part of the experience.
On warm Franschhoek afternoons, the pool quickly becomes the heart of the estate. Large enough for proper laps and leisurely enough for long, lazy hours, it’s the perfect spot to cool off, stay active or balance out a little too much indulgence from nearby wine farms and restaurants.
La Cabrière feels wonderfully immersed in its surroundings. As the light shifts throughout the day, the valley transforms in a ever-changing palette of colour – with sunsets that are nothing short of spectacular, no matter the season.
At La Cabrière, hospitality is deeply personal. Ours is a close-knit team who take real pride in making every stay feel effortless and welcoming. Lisa, our General Manager, is often your first point of contact and a familiar face throughout your stay – always happy to share her insider knowledge on the best things to do in Franschhoek.
Kenny, our assistant manager and a true Franschhoek local, brings the valley’s history to life with his stories and recommendations. In the mornings, Carmen and Abigail take care of breakfast, while our room attendants ensure your crisp cotton linen and towels are always fresh and inviting. Our gardens, lovingly tended by Sam and Angulet, complete the sense of calm and care that runs through the estate.
La Cabrière is a place to enjoy year-round. Summer days are made for cooling off in the pool with a glass of chilled Chardonnay in hand, while winter invites long walks, crackling fires and cosy evenings indoors. Through it all, the sweeping views of the Franschhoek valley and mountains remain a constant… and always impressive.
