About this stay

Chapter House Boutique Hotel, built in 1888, offers an elegant retreat in the heart of Franschhoek village. Its colonial style meets a touch of timeless chic, creating a calm atmosphere. The rooms, all individually decorated, have air conditioning and a welcoming seating area. Guests can relax on the veranda with the scent of the hotel's rose and lavender garden, or cool off in the outdoor pool, which looks out over the Franschhoek mountains. The stylish lounge with a fireplace invites quiet evenings, rounding off a peaceful and refined stay a short walk from the village restaurants and galleries. Being in the village centre means guests can stroll to Franschhoek's restaurants, galleries and wine shops in the evening, then return to the quiet of the veranda and the garden without needing to drive anywhere at all.

Our take

Set in a malaria-free area, Chapter House suits couples and adults looking for calm and elegance in the heart of Franschhoek. Its boutique feel and historic setting make it a strong choice for honeymoons or wellness-focused stays. Families with young children may find the atmosphere too quiet, as the hotel is geared more towards adult guests who want a restful base.

  • Relax on the veranda and enjoy the rose and lavender garden.
  • Spend afternoons by the outdoor pool, where the mountain views are superb.
  • Explore Franschhoek village on foot, as the hotel is ideally placed for it.

Why we love it

  • The outdoor pool with mountain views
  • The colonial charm of an 1888 building
  • The calming rose and lavender garden
  • The central location in the heart of the village
Why guests love it

Chapter House is an 1888 building in Franschhoek village, and it suits couples and adults better than young children. The colonial style is elegant, rooms are air-conditioned and individually decorated with a comfortable seating area, and the outdoor pool has mountain views. A rose and lavender garden adds to the calm. The village centre is on the doorstep. Families with small children may find the quiet, adult-leaning atmosphere less fitting.
