A romantic pod escape for two, just a stroll away from the Wine Tram and the quaint town of Franschhoek.

What we loved
This location truly offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful farm setting where you can unwind and enjoy the sights of cows grazing and the sound of a murmuring stream. Yet it’s within walking distance of town and the famous Wine Tram, so you can spend a full day wine tasting without worrying about the drive home!
