La Residence is in a class of its own. Located in the beautiful Franschhoek valley, where the exquisite vineyards and mountains form a picture perfect backdrop, La Residence provides a haven of luxurious accommodation, fine dining and an all-round sensory indulgence.

The majestic mountains that surround the idyllic Franschhoek Valley, provide enchanting views in every direction. La Residence lies at the heart of a private 30-acre working farm, complete with vineyards, plum orchards, a dam and fragrant manicured gardens. Space is in abundance with panoramic views from every suite. Large bedrooms and bathrooms open onto generous sunny balconies and verandahs, which offer the perfect place to relax, admire the view, and marvel at the synthesis of beauty and tranquility.

La Residence offers eleven luxuriously appointed suites, exquisitely decorated with ornate antiques, plush Persian carpets and an eclectic mix of artworks, and palatial bathrooms.

Dining

Dining is always a leisurely experience where you may enjoy most of the culinary secrets of the picturesque Franschhoek Valley, allowing yourself to be tempted by any of the following dishes of fine flavours, diverse textures, freshest local ingredients and attractive presentation.

Everyday fare includes delights such as Salmon Trout fish cakes, imaginative salads with refreshing fennel bulbs, pickled lemons, caper berries and various crispy nuts. Celebrating our passion for regional produce, we enjoy preparing traditional venison, local fish and free range poultry.

Seasonal ingredients such as fruits, salad leaves, vegetables and herbs are harvested from the estate’s bountiful gardens. Hand crafted cheeses such as Chevin, Boeren Kaas, superb local Gruyere, drunken Pecorino and creamy Blue Cheeses are sourced and served with home-made preserves and breads from our ovens. Guests are encouraged to put forward their food preferences, allergies and dietary requirements so that we can prepare their very own special meals. All menus are complemented by the best South African wines to round off your dining experience.
