GORGEOUS, FRENCH-ACCENTED RETREAT
Spread over two working farms, La Clé des Montagnes is a gorgeous, French-accented retreat set in the midst of vineyards, plum orchards and lavender-scented gardens.
On the edge of Franschhoek, just a five-minute walk into the heart of the historic village, La Clé des Montagnes is perfectly positioned for enjoying the region’s art galleries, award-winning wineries and pavement cafe culture. Personal butlers and the hotel’s concierge are also hand to arrange horse riding excursions and yoga classes.
You can choose to stay in one of the five comfortable ensuite bedrooms in the main lodge, or opt for one of the four private pool villas dotted about the farm. Private and peaceful, the interiors add a modern touch to the classic charm of a traditional Cape Dutch home. Expect handcrafted furniture, high ceilings and ample living areas accented by the rustic beauty of traditional materials.
The celebrated restaurants of Franschhoek are on your doorstep, but you can also enjoy hearty, home-style meals prepared by experienced chefs onsite. From personalised picnics to local-style ‘braais’ and communal farmhouse dinners, the cuisine here is dynamic and fresh.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
