Fransvliet Estate Villa Review: A Family Weekend in Franschhoek
Franschhoek is one of those places we keep finding reasons to go back to. This time it was a weekend away as a family of five, from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 September, at Fransvliet Estate. We stayed in the newly renovated two-bedroom villa, and it turned out to be a weekend of very little planning and a lot of time outdoors, which suited all of us.
Franschhoek Boutique Hotel (Accommodation Review)
For a kid-free night in the Winelands, Franschhoek Boutique Hotel one ticks the boxes: it is rare to find a hotel this central to Franschhoek. What a pleasure to walk to dinner.
Ou Skool in Robertson (Accommodation Review)
At just a two-hour drive away from Cape Town, and just 15 minutes from Robertson, we found Ou Skool. This accommodation offers the best of both worlds: It feels remote with no cellphone reception, but is actually close enough to town to stock up on groceries or head out for a country breakfast.

The Vineyard Suites by The Royal Portfolio (accommodation review)
Nestled amidst the rolling vineyards and breathtaking mountain views that define the Franschhoek valley, and a stone’s throw from La Residence, are the Vineyard Suites.

360on62 Mountain View Farm Cottages in Montagu (Accommodation Review)
360on62 boasts 360° Views, & sits just off the R62 nestled between the Majestic Langeberg & Swartberg Mountain Ranges, 8km from Montagu. The first time we stayed there with with our extended family over the Easter weekend of 2021. Aiden was three, Liv had just turned two and Harvey had not yet been born, in fact he was barely a thought!
Huizen Living Accommodation Review
Who doesn’t love a sneaky getaway? When Jan Hendrik Oosthuizen from Huizen Living approached me asking if I could assist with creating some recipes to include in the cabins, so that guests would be able to use the well-stocked kitchen to re-create my dishes…
