General overview
Fransmanshuijs is a luxurious hilltop farmhouse, located on a historic farm in picturesque Stellenbosch. Here, amidst vineyard-clad slopes and majestic mountain ranges you will find a true sanctuary – a home from home.
Explore the farm on foot, hop on your mountain bike and adventure on the local routes. Here you’ll have the space to roam free, away from the city bustle.
The space
Each of the 4 rooms in has its own unique character; designed with care and attention to detail and features a fully-equipped and modern farm-style kitchen. With the incredible local produce of the Winelands and the countryside atmosphere of the farm, you’ll find new inspiration to get your culinary creativity on. If in season, we may even surprise you with fresh produce directly from our farm… who knows?
The patio with barbecue facilities and an outside lounge is the place to immerse yourself in the panoramic splendour of the mountains and rolling hills that encircle our farm

The town's oak-shaded streets are lined with cafes, boutiques and art galleries. Cape Dutch architecture gives a sense of South Africa's Dutch colonial history, as do the Village Museum's period houses and gardens

We are an adventurous couple (Piet and Izette) with two kids, aged 15 and 12.(Johan and Elsje) My husband is a 6th generation-farmer. If he is not busy on the farm, you will find him on his mountain bike, cycling at the nearby mountains or on the MTB routes on the farm. I am a florist, who loves to create anything beautiful and runs a wedding and events venue and a guest house on the farm. We live on a working fruit farm, (160 hectares ). We farm with mostly wine grapes, soft citrus, blue berries and plums. We love cooking and entertaining our friends and families with long lazy lunches on our outside patio . Hosting and meeting new people is a great passion of mine, the house that we listed is not our primary residence, and we hire it out as a guest house.
