Akademie Street Guesthouse, Cape Winelands

Akademie Street Guesthouse is no ordinary guesthouse. Rather it is a collection of cottages in a beautiful garden on a quiet, oak-lined street a few blocks from the main road running through Franschhoek.

Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

A permanent chart-topper among the large selection of bed and breakfast accommodation options in and around Franschhoek, Akadamie Street Guest house wins hearts and return visitors with its warm welcome, convenient location, comfortable rooms, quiet surrounds and personal service.

Katherine, Arthur and their well-groomed, well-trained team are truly exceptional in their attention to detail: you feel they really want you to enjoy your stay, which is a refreshing change from the corporate restraint you find in five-star hotels.
