I n the heart of Franschhoek, South Africa’s culinary capital, La Residence sets the benchmark for luxury in the region. The French-inspired interiors, personally curated by founder Liz Biden, tell individual stories through bold designs and distinctive colour schemes. Each room exudes its own allure, while beyond the windows, vast African skies stretch over the valley. VALLEY VIEWS, FRENCH FLAIR La Residence has mastered the art of slow living, where French heritage holds court with carefully selected antiques and striking artworks. Eleven uniquely designed suites form part of the main hotel, while the five Vineyard Suites welcome families into more spacious surroundings. The crackling fireplaces and art deco themed black-and-white tiles of The Great Hall set the scene for languid dinners that stretch into the evening, while summer days call for long lunches in the
Persian Alley, where the scent of roses drifts up from the gardens. Days unfold gently — between treatments in the Tea House spa overlooking lily ponds, tastings from the estate’s cellar, and quiet afternoons by the pool. THE ART OF LIVING WELL Beyond Franschhoek’s village façade lies a world of sophisticated pleasures revolving around food, wine and art. Hop aboard the Franschhoek Tram to explore local vineyards or visit neighbouring estates for wine tastings. The village streets are lined with galleries, boutiques, antiques, chocolatiers and cheese makers, while historic attractions like the Huguenot Museum tell stories of the valley’s fascinating past. The dramatic landscape invites exploration for all fitness levels, from leisurely walks to challenging hikes, and world-class golf estates and award-winning restaurants complete the experience.
