Last Word Franschhoek
2 Nights from R5,700 per person sharing
With just 10 rooms and suites, The Last Word Franschhoek is one of South Africa's most quietly distinguished addresses, a five-star historic residence sitting right in the heart of Franschhoek, the Cape Winelands' gourmet and wellness capital. Here are five reasons to make it your next escape.
Five reasons to choose the Last Word Franschhoek for your next holiday:
1. Set in the heart of SA's gourmet Capital
Set on Huguenot Street, you're a minute's walk from celebrated restaurants, boutique galleries, and local markets, with the award-winning wine estates of the Franschhoek valley just beyond. The hotel's chauffeur service and the famous wine tram make exploring them effortless, and central Cape Town is just over an hour away.
2. A private retreat
Eight Superior Double rooms and two pool suites, each with patio gardens, mountain views, and standalone marble tubs, make this feel far more like a private retreat than a hotel. Access is reserved exclusively for in-house guests, so the calm is real and consistent.
3. A Front-Row Seat at South Africa's Best Table
Breakfast arrives at your leisure: smoked Franschhoek trout, fresh fruit, warm pastries, and local cheeses, served in your room or suite. Beyond the hotel, your Travel Counsellor knows every table worth booking in a village that punches well above its weight culinarily.
4. Local Knowledge That Makes a Genuine Difference
Many of the team have called Franschhoek home for years, and their care for guests is neither scripted nor performative. From dinner reservations to tailored day itineraries, the support here is the kind you remember long after you've left.
5. Meet Pigcasso, the World's Only Painting Pig
Just beyond the village lies one of Franschhoek's most charming curiosities: Pigcasso, the world's only painting pig, whose abstract works have found admirers across the globe. A visit to her farm sanctuary makes for a genuinely memorable afternoon, and a wonderful counterpoint to the wine and fine dining that defines the area.
