Overview

An hour’s drive from Cape Town and you will find yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Winelands region of the Western Cape. Dramatic mountain ranges give way to rolling vineyards, Cape Dutch farmsteads, quaint little towns with art galleries, sidewalk cafes and an array of gastronomic delights.

Founded in 1688 by French Huguenots, Franschhoek, directly translated as “French Corner” from its Dutch name, is world renowned as the Food & Wine capital of South Africa. La Rive is a charming, luxurious 6-bedroomed thatch-roofed villa set within beautiful gardens overlooking the pool. Completely private and tranquil, this is truly a hidden gem.

A marvelously eclectic mix of Victorian, Cape Dutch and Georgian architecture and furniture, as well as numerous pieces from famous South African artists such as Neil Rodger, Gregoire Boonzaier, Edward Wolfe and Dylan Lewis on display, illustrates the owner’s passion for art collecting.
