Exclusive hotel opens on estate
2009-03-05
THE L’ermitage Franschhoek Chateau & Villas, a newly built exclusive hotel set within the secure grounds of the prestigious Fransche Hoek Estate, is now in operation. Guests can stay in the stately five-star château or in one of the charming one, two and three bedroom private villas. Construction of this Provençal-inspired hotel started in June 2008 and late in December last year it was handed over to owner Dawie du Preez, a resident of Franschhoek. The château, with six superior bedrooms, each luxuriously furnished and all with views of the majestic Franschhoek Mountain, are furnished with king-size beds, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, satellite TV, DVD players and even small kitchenettes. This hotel also offers “fractional ownership” to members of the Private Residence Club with four luxury two-bedroomed villas managed by L’ermitage. A total of 26 spacious villas line the cobbled streets – all luxuriously furnished with the finest finishing touches and a fully equipped designer-kitchen. The fine-dining restaurant, with Reuben Riffel contracted as consulting chef, offers gourmet eating at its best. L’ermitage also has its own deli-cum-grocer, called the Epicerie. It is stocked with imported cheeses and meats, breads and speciality products. Also on site are a wedding chapel, conference facilities and wellness centre.
