Enjoy warm hospitality at the Corner House Guest House

As the culinary capital of South Africa, Franschhoek has a lot to offer when it comes to local and delicious foods, but when you are looking for a place to rest your head while you sleep off the food coma you could get yourself in, make sure you make a stop at the Corner House Guest House.

Here, you can immerse yourself in the comforting atmosphere of Franschhoek. Corner House has six different double-bed rooms to choose from, including the self-catering Deluxe Apartment. Rooms on offer include the Budget Room, Double Room, Double or Twin Room, Luxury Double Room and the Premium Deluxe Room.

The rooms are immaculately furnished and are equipped with en-suite bathrooms with a shower, DStv, free Wi-Fi, secure off-street parking, a cosy lobby area with magazines for some light reading and a warm fireplace to snuggle up to.

Beautiful rooms at the Corner House Guest House

Corner House Guest House rooms — *Relaxing rooms*

The Luxury Double Room has its own private patio and private entrance, allowing you to enjoy a drink overlooking the garden and mountains.

The Deluxe Apartment is located on the first floor of the guesthouse, and is equipped with an en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, a large living room that offers a magnificent view of the surrounding Franschhoek Mountains and vineyards – not to mention the spectacular view of the sunset!

The fully-equipped kitchen makes self-catering a breeze, as you will find anything you could possibly need to prepare a meal. And for those evenings, when you want to wind down, you can enjoy a sundowner on the balcony as you take in the view of the Franschhoek landscape. This apartment is also suitable for large families thanks to the sleeper sofa and a small second bedroom is also available for families with a baby or small child.

Enjoy a delicious breakfast and sparkling pool

Corner House is also perfect for corporates looking for a tranquil and relaxing place to get some work done. There is a library that doubles as an eight-seater conference venue with an open fireplace. On offer is a hearty and healthy breakfast with a lot of home-baked goods like muffins, croissants, bread as well as a choice of eggs.

There is also a sparkling pool surrounded by a wrap-around veranda and a beautifully kept private garden.

Should you find yourself wanting to enjoy some wining and dining in South Africa’s gastronomical capital, you need only let the Corner House staff know where you would like to go and they will set up a reservation for you – and maybe even make some suggestions if you’re unsure.

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!
