Boschendal

Rooms at Boschendal

The old farm labourer’s cottages on the estate have been elegantly restored into colourful, stylish retreats with a touch of the old Cape Dutch charm. The Orchard Cottages are across the road and are quiet and chilled with a lovely shared swimming pool and gardens, whilst the Werf Cottages are on the main estate and have ravishing views of the mountains. Two-bedroomed Clarence Cottage is a good option for families, Trout Cottage is probably the most private and the the piece de resistance is Rhodes Cottage, the original bolthole of Cecil John Rhodes and now a stunning ‘country-house cottage’ with all mod-cons. Recently, several more cottages at The Retreat have been added; more modern in style, they are purpose-built and lack a little of the character of the main farm.

Food at Boschendal

The estate boasts an array of amazing local produce; the primary focus being soil-to-fork flavourful nourishing food. There's something for everyone, whether it's a relaxing wine tasting in the oak trees or a view from one of the top Franschhoek Wine Farm Restaurants.
