Cape Dutch @ Keerweder

Cape Dutch @ Keerweder is a boutique guest house situated at the foot of the Franschhoek Mountain in South Africa's Western Cape Province. Located on the oldest farm in the Franschhoek Valley, which was granted to Heinrich Muller from Basel in 1692, the property features a historic Cape Dutch Manor built in 1830. The manor holds the distinction of being the first guest house in the Cape Lands when it opened its doors in 1886.

The guest house offers three luxurious rooms, each featuring mountain and garden views, extra-length king-size beds, and en-suite bathrooms. Two of the rooms can accommodate an additional guest. The property boasts modern amenities including free WiFi, HD TV with Netflix access, and a communal kitchen with living areas for self-catering. Guests can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool and beautiful gardens surrounding the manor.

The establishment is part of a working fruit farm, specifically focusing on plum orchards. Visitors should note that regular farming activities, including tractor movements and orchard workers, are part of the daily operations. The property seamlessly combines historic charm with modern comfort, offering guests a unique opportunity to experience authentic Cape Dutch architecture while enjoying contemporary luxuries.

Being situated in Franschhoek, guests have access to the region's renowned vineyards, the Mont Rochelle Nature Reserve, the Huguenot Memorial Museum, and the Franschhoek Motor Museum. The location provides an ideal base for exploring the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of the Western Cape.
