Franschhoek is home to a number of frankly world-class restaurants and cafés, many just a short stroll from the hotel. LQF also houses two fabulous fine dining restaurants Protégé and Epice.
Featuring the work of both local and South African artists, Franschhoek has really established itself as an art destination. A couple of our favorites are Galleria Gibello for wildlife photography and Art in the Yard for impressive new talent.
The town has a fascinating history, and it’s particularly well presented at the Huguenot Memorial exhibition.
It’s easy to while away an afternoon browsing Franschhoek’s lovely boutiques, in search for self-gifts and souvenirs!
See as much of the Franschhoek region as you wish from the saddle, or set out on foot along many of the area’s hiking trails.
Head out to the Wemmers river, for trout fishing amidst spectacular scenery!
The Winelands boasts an outstanding variety of courses, not least in Pearl Valley, which has hosted the South African Championship for the past three years in a row.
If you have time, you could consider taking in other estates. In addition to Leeu Estate, there’s Chamonix, Grande Provence, and Rupert & Rothschild.
