The Cockpit is a charming cottage located in the historic heart of Franschhoek. It features a warm village-cottage charm with comfortable, oversized sofas, a mezzanine bedroom, and bookshelves loaded with novels, cookbooks, and travel guides, creating a cozy and relaxing ambiance for guests. The cottage opens onto a lush-green, secluded, townhouse-style garden with a splash pool, providing a tranquil outdoor space.

The cozy cottage accommodates two people in a king-sized bedroom tucked into the eaves. The decor is inspired by an English cottage, featuring a wash of cream, blue, and yellow colors, with portraits of the owner's days as a glider pilot adorning the walls. This intimate cottage serves as a quiet, comfortable, and unpretentious base from which to explore the sophisticated restaurants, galleries, markets, and shops that Franschhoek has to offer.

The Cockpit features an intimate sitting room with two sofas, a coffee table, numerous books, and a wood-burning stove for cooler nights. Additionally, there is a relaxed outdoor seating area with a covered patio and sun loungers by the pool.

The accommodation has one mezzanine bedroom with a king-size bed overlooking the double-volume living area. The bedroom includes an en-suite shower room with a basin and toilet, ample drawer space, a ceiling-mounted TV, a large selection of books, and an eccentric leather swivel chair with a large desk. A stained-glass window with blue, red, and green panes casts an ethereal warm light into the room, while a sash window offers views of the lush garden below.
