Happy Valley Lodge

Grading: Average Guest Rating:


A Family owned self catering guest lodge situated on a small citrus farm in the heart of the Franschoek winelands. Two rivers border the farm, the smaller Kastaiings river and the Franschoek river which joins the Berg river about 4kms downstream. We are surrounded by mountains and boast exceptional views.

We are situated 5kms from Franschoek and are a stroll away from the famous La Motte and Môreson vineyards. Take a walk through farmlands to neighbouring Goederust Farm Kithcen for a hearty country breakfast amidst the vines. Or join ou harvest and pick your own clementines in season!

Our Cottages offer the sought after peace, tranquility and privacy you`d expect on a privately owned farm, with the lively little village of Franschoek, food and wine capital of the Cape, a mere 5 minutes away.

Our swimming pool is in a secluded spot by the river with ancient oaks offering shade, and there are various braai areas around the Farm. there is a laundry available.
