Stretching out across 2,200 hectares at the foot of the Simonsberg, Boschendal is all about a scenic Winelands setting, farm-fresh food and outdoor living – with a multitude of activities both for overnight guests and day visitors.

The farm offers various accommodation options in one- to four-bedroom cottages – the Werf Cottages right on the farm, and the more tucked away Orchard Cottages across the road. The modern dwellings come with fully equipped kitchenettes, outdoor dining areas for braais, and a large communal pool and boma with picture-perfect views of the surrounding mountains and fruit orchards.

For multi-generational getaways, the historic Cottage 1685 sleeps up to six people in the cottage and four people in the garden annexe, while the Mountain Villa accommodates up to 12 people and features a large wraparound terrace, pool, private lake, outside bar area, braai, and pizza oven.  

Taking a soil-to-fork approach, Boschendal’s restaurants celebrate the bountiful, seasonal produce of the farm and the Franschhoek Valley. Whether you choose the Deli or the more refined The Werf Restaurant, most of what’s on your plate will have been sustainably grown at Boschendal, or ethically sourced from local farms. For relaxed dining, you can also book a picnic and recline under the trees of the Pavilion lawn, pick up supplies from the Farm Shop & Butchery, or order a barbecue box for a leisurely braai on your stoep.
