    The house was very lovely and had a rustique look to it. Finding your way to the main street is just a block away away and walkable (even during the evening). Perfect for bigger travel parties (i.e. family with kids / two couples) as the house is...

Villa Ashbourne is a picture perfect renovated house with a lovely manicured garden. It has a fully equipped kitchen, a large and airy lounge and three bedrooms. Our house is located in easy walking distance to the main road and the restaurants. The closest supermarket is appx 300 m down the road. Children of all ages are welcome. We can provide a baby cot. The house has a strong wifi, 2 en suite bathrooms and an additional guest toilet. Daily housekeeping is included in the price. Max 2 well behaved dogs are allowed, but a R150 cleaning fee per dog applies.
My wife Nadine and I are always happy to help our guests make the most out of their stay in Franschhoek. - This little village has so much to offer - we will gladly recommend the best activities or restaurants and also assist with bookings. As we have two kids, we know all the places that are good to entertain the little ones and also the restaurants that are child friendly. - We can also assist with a babysitter if you would like to have an evening off.
Franschhoek is a very safe village, so everything can be done walking. Our house is close to the center of the village and several wine estates are also within walking distance. The closest restaurant (Beleef - one of my favourites!!!) is just 2 minutes down the same road. You will be impressed by the mountain views and the beautiful and well maintained houses in the neighborhood.
