Accommodation Options

There are several accommodation options to choose from. Discover a fusion of individuality and comfort across their Provence-style country house. The main house hosts the Studio and their standard mountain rooms. A leisurely stroll down leads to their detached cottage with its three poolside rooms. Each one comes with fireplaces and private terraces offering awe-inspiring views of the mountains and gardens.

While each room boasts its own distinctive layout, all offer modern amenities such as large, comfy beds, underfloor heating, bathrooms with walk-in baths and showers, air-conditioning, TVs and Wi-Fi.

As the name suggests, the Garden View Deluxe room offers a view of their meticulously manicured garden and the majestic mountains beyond. The Garden Suites Deluxe option also offers amazing garden and mountain views, but is more spacious.

Their Poolside Deluxe Rooms and Mountain View Rooms are equally popular and offer an idyllic vantage point overlooking the pool, the garden and the mountains from private and shared terraces.

For discerning travellers, the Master Suite offers an expansive bedroom with enchanting views of the garden and mountains. The large bathroom features a walk-in shower, a separate bath, and an expansive vanity, while a glass-enclosed terrace and a private pool elevate your experience.

The Villa presents a spacious lounge and a fold-back glass-enclosed terrace. It consists of two bedrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen and a private pool.

Romantics will love their Honeymoon Suite. You will find it exquisitely decorated and boasting scenic views of the garden and majestic mountains. While The Studio may lack a mountain view and terrace, it more than compensates with its ample space and modern amenities such as a large lounge and a kitchenette.

Reviews by previous La Cabriere Country House guests

“La Cabriere Country House is conveniently situated for access to all the attractions of the town centre. It is set in beautiful gardens and the accommodation facilities are excellent. The breakfast is superb and everything is carefully watch over by charming Liza. We can highly recommend La Cabriere Country House and will definitely return for another visit,” wrote AndreRob on their TripAdvisor page.

RobynTheVeganGuest added; “What a peaceful escape! Every corner at La Cabriere evokes calm and serenity. Upon arrival, I received a warm welcome and a brief but informative tour. Kevin was kind enough to make dinner reservations for me and Lisa also directed me to Franschhoek Cycles where I was able to hire a bike and cycle through the wine estates. They were also quite accommodating of my vegan diet and serves me a delicious hot breakfast. The room was spotless and had a lovely garden view. Thanks again for your hospitality.”

“Stayed at La Cabriere Country House in the Master Suite. The views of the gardens and mountains were beautiful. The suite was very accommodating in size, decor and comfort. Delicious breakfast served every morning, coffee for we Americans could be improved however, but the fruit was fresh with many menu choices.Staff was very helpful and friendly. Easily walk to center Franschhoek where lovely shops and restaurants abound…should not forget the many vineyards and wineries in the area…always something to do or somewhere to go. Lisa provided much information and recommendations on restaurants and wineries proved to be very helpful,” said windyday_10.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
