Just five minutes from the vibrant heart of Franschhoek lies a secluded retreat where romance unfolds naturally. Set on a working wine farm in the breathtaking Cape Winelands, Stony Brook Cottages offers couples an intimate countryside escape designed for reconnection, relaxation, and uninterrupted time together.
Seclusion, Space and Serenity
One of the most enchanting aspects of Stony Brook Cottages is the sense of privacy. Instead of a standard hotel room, couples can retreat to one of five beautifully appointed country-style cottages, each thoughtfully positioned to create a feeling of peaceful isolation.
Surrounded by majestic mountain views, fragrant fynbos and abundant birdlife, the setting provides the perfect backdrop for slow mornings and golden sunsets. Each self-catering cottage is fully equipped with luxurious bed linen, plush bath towels and everything needed for a comfortable stay.
In summer, spend sun-soaked afternoons lounging beside the communal pool, with swimming towels provided for your convenience. In winter, light the indoor fireplace and settle in together as the crackling flames create a warm, intimate atmosphere.
Private patios invite long, unhurried breakfasts and romantic evening braais under a canopy of stars, overlooking vineyards and farmland stretching into the distance.
A Digital Detox for Two
Stony Brook Cottages encourages couples to truly disconnect from the distractions of everyday life. There are no televisions in the cottages, and while Wi-Fi is available, it is intentionally limited — allowing you to focus on meaningful conversation, shared laughter and quiet companionship.
It’s the ideal setting to pause, breathe, and simply enjoy each other’s company.
Cosy Country Living
Cottages one to three are especially well suited to couples seeking a peaceful retreat. Open-plan living spaces and fully stocked kitchenettes allow you to prepare intimate meals together, while comfortable interiors blend rustic charm with modern convenience.
For couples who prefer a little extra space, cottages four and five offer spacious bedrooms and generous living areas, perfect for extended stays in the Winelands.
Romantic Days on the Farm
Days at Stony Brook unfold at your own pace. Take leisurely walks through the vineyards, enjoy a quiet picnic beside the dam, or try your hand at fishing. Being on a working wine farm also means you can indulge in wine tasting experiences without venturing far.
When you’re ready to explore, Franschhoek’s celebrated restaurants, boutique shops and art galleries are just minutes away, offering world-class dining and wine experiences in one of South Africa’s most charming villages.
Plan Your Romantic Getaway
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a honeymoon, or simply craving quality time together, Stony Brook Cottages offers an idyllic escape where romance comes naturally.
