If your idea of paradise is comfortable, tastefully furnished surroundings with uninterrupted views over three mountain ranges in the heart of a region known for great hospitality and even better food, Gooding's Groves awaits you!
Surrounded by towering mountains and mature olive trees in the beautiful Franschhoek Valley is Gooding’s Groves Olive Farm and Guest House. This sensitively restored Cape Victorian manor house lies just three kilometers from the centre of the historical village.
Enter the warm embrace of the lounge, library and reception room with roaring log fire in colder weather. If it’s a cooler more relaxed feel you’re after, folding glass doors open the dining room onto a shaded patio, for the full majesty of our signature view and vineyard, perfectly offset by the ever-changing colours of the craggy peaks of the Franschhoek mountains.
