The luxurious boutique hotel exemplified

 A verdant, tree-filled enclave in Franschhoek has five elegant structures that comprise Akademie Street Boutique Hotel.  Owned and operated by a family, personalized treatment is assured, regardless of whether visitors reside in the historic Cape Dutch-style main house, the 1860s cottage, the terraced boutique hotel, the garden suites, or the upper suite offering stunning vistas of the Franschhoek mountains.

Franschhoek is among the oldest villages in South Africa.  Surrounded by vineyards and towering mountains, visitors may be inclined to simply admire the scenery; nonetheless, other activities await!  Explore vineyards, partake in equestrian wine tastings, tour the abundant museums and monuments in the vicinity, ascend the mountain, or observe passersby at the several sidewalk cafes along the main street.

Meandering paths flanked by verdant gardens link the apartments of Akademie Street Boutique Hotel to its principal Cape Dutch-style residence, where breakfast is provided.  Each apartment presents a distinctive feature, such as the Victorian bath located on a secluded corner of Gelatenheid’s balcony or the sunlit conservatory in Twyfeling.  All include elegant décor, en-suite bathrooms, tea and coffee-making amenities, air-conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, and access to either a shared or private swimming pool.
