PRIVATE LUXURY ESTATE

Val du Lac136.JPG

ABOUT THE LAKE HOUSE

A MAJESTIC WINELANDS RETREAT

Set in the heart of the Cape Winelands, The Lake House on Val du Lac is a contemporary countryside estate where luxury meets the timeless romance of Franschhoek’s valley. Framed by the Groot Drakenstein and Simonsberg mountains, this stately home invites multigenerational gatherings, long-table celebrations and unforgettable moments shared against a backdrop of vineyards, water and sky.

The elegance of The Lake House on Val du Lac is evident in its classical country estate construct. A stately home, as such, that evokes an image of multigenerational gatherings. Special family escapes, surrounded by the Groot Drakenstein and Simonsberg mountains, and the verdant valley of Franschhoek. A place where you and your large group of travelling companions can create those cherished memories of a lavish getaway, in the Cape Winelands.

 

Settled on twenty-four hectares of farmland - eight of which are occupied by rows and rows of young, fine vines - The Lake House graciously welcomes you into a secluded world of decadence. Glistening bodies of clear water, flowing and shimmering in the African light. Beautifully landscaped gardens, with walkways and meandering paths beckon your exploring. Herb and vegetable gardens. Citrus and cypress trees. Ponds, pergolas, a pétanque court, a dreamy swimming pool and its accompanying pool house. Outdoor fire pits, a trampoline, trickling fountains, and a jacuzzi. This hideaway is an enchanting playground for those seeking their own Western Cape sanctuary. Ensconced in the luxury of its accommodation offerings, and humbled by the beauty of the natural surroundings.

ABOUT THE LOCATION

Being located on the ancient elephant trail, this hideaway harnesses some history from the tracks of wildlife. A portion of their migration between Knysna and the Cape, crossing over the Hottentots Holland Mountains, and through the valley, is now where the vines flourish. There’s a running theme of the Big Five, and the beauty of the African wilderness that’s told in the decor of the home.

ABOUT FRANSCHHOEK

It’s only a fifteen-minute walk into the village of Franschhoek, or a quick drive to the neighbouring estates for the mandatory tasting and feasting.

 

Franschhoek is not only about food and wine - it’s also about art, cars, culture, history and health - the kind that comes from hikes in the mountains and sport along the cycling tracks.

​

The village of Franschhoek is overflowing with fabulous eateries - Liam Tomlin’s Chefs Warehouse at Maison, La Petite Colombe, Bread & Wine, and Le Coin Français. There are also plenty of less fussy, more laid-back restaurants on several reputable wine estates and within the village itself.

 

Cape Town International Airport is only a 45-minute drive to and

from the property.
