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.
Washing machine and tumble drier, hairdryer.
The Master bedroom has one King Size bed and quality linen. Fitted wardrobes, mirrors, hairdryer, smart tv and aircon. Guest (second bedroo) has twin beds, sofa, smart tv, air-con and quality linen.
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.

The location is absolutely superb. Franschhoek is safe and the Gourmet Capital of the Western Cape. You simply step out of the front door and you'll be spoilt for choice with cafes, bars and restaurants.
