La Clé Lodge is an elegant Franschhoek lodge on a working wine farm in South Africa's incredible ‘French corner’ attracting wine and nature lovers from near and far.
Why We Love it and You Will Too
- Discover the local hop-on-hop-off wine tram, then sit back, relax, and take in the best of the region (and the grapes!) at your leisure.
- Take a bottle of wine and a picnic basket of the freshest local fare out to the expansive gardens for a laid-back afternoon surrounded by nature.
- The chefs at La Clé will prepare incredible cuisine in your kitchen throughout the day, whether you're aware of it or not! But if you're keen to get a glimpse at the foodie magic behind the scenes, they are happy to oblige.
- Discover the history of this French-inspired town at the Huguenot Monument while exploring the charming cafes, restaurants and locally-owned boutiques.
- Book out La Clé exclusively or on a per-room basis. Each of the rooms has been individually decorated and were tastefully designed by well-known South African artist and interiors expert, Jacques Erasmus.
Your La Clé Lodge Experience
Set within the oh-so-magical Franschhoek Valley amidst vineyards and lush gardens, La Clé Lodge s is just the spot to sit out on the veranda in the afternoon sunshine, happily sipping on a glass or two of Chenin.
As you might have heard, Franschhoek is the perfect place to go if you have a keen taste for wine. Ideally nestled against the backdrop of the incredible Franschhoek Mountains, it’s particularly easy on the eye.
If you’re on holiday in the Cape, Franschhoek is almost a right of passage for first-time visitors, and there is no place better from which to experience this charming little town than La Clé Lodge. This original Cape-Dutch style home offers every modern amenity you could wish for, whilst retaining that old-world charm. Take your pick from private rooms, suites and villas, each individually decorated and neatly nestled amidst the vines.
It’s also La Clé Lodge's location that makes it a true gem. Being only a short distance from the town centre (a 4-minute stroll), you will discover a healthy amount of top-notch restaurants, boutiques and artisan shops. However, with a private chef on hand, your palate will be kept very happy right on the property itself, along with staff at the ready to ensure your every need is met.
What we really love about this luxury accommodation in Franschhoek is that they always go out of their way to make sure each guest feels like the only one staying there. Yes, it’s that good!
At Le Clé, the large kitchen and communal dining areas are sociable and fun, but if you're looking for some privacy, you'll find it while exploring the grounds. There are two dams (great for taking a dip on a sultry summer day), a private swimming pool and a tennis court, not to mention the manicured gardens, which beckon any time of day.
