One Night at Maison Du Cap

Home away From Home.

Need a change of scenery?  Maison Du Cap is the perfect little guest house, with doors opening onto the pool deck, a neat garden, with the calming sounds of the water feature in the background.  A relaxing setting for an afternoon by the pool, while reading a good book! 

We came across this little spot spontaneously for a work event that we had to attend in Franschhoek and Lauren’s fabulous boss booked the night for us at Maison Du Cap. 

Maison Du Cap is located on a quiet road, a short walk from Franschhoek Main Road.  No need to get into the car and drive when everything is so close by and within walking distance.  
 

Accommodation Units 

There are 5 rooms at the guest house, accommodating a total of 12 or 13 adults, depending on the sleeping arrangements.      

1.) Honeymoon Suite 

          1 x Queen Bed (sleeps 2 x adults) 

2.) Cottage 

          2 x Double Beds (sleeps 4 x adults)

3.) Moonlight

          1 x King Bed (sleeps 2 x adults)

4.) Midnight

          1 x Double Bed (sleeps 2 x adults)          

5.) Chanel

          1 x King Bed (sleeps 2 x adults) and 

          1 x Sleeper Couch (sleeps 1 x adult OR 2 x children)

Location 

Heart of Franschhoek:  20 Dirkie Uys Street, Franschhoek 7690
 

We have stayed in the Cottage and Midnight rooms and both are really comfortable.  If you prefer more space and a private unit, we would recommend the cottage.  The cottage is separate to the main house and has it’s own entrance, making it your own little home away from home.

Our thoughts on Maison Du Cap

The staff are so friendly and lovely, especially Millicent!  There is a braai area for guests to enjoy a boerie roll with a glass or two of wine.  Being a guest house, you will have neighbours who will also have access to the main living areas within the house and backyard.  

Just a tip:  if you are wanting a more intimate quiet spot, I would recommend hiring out the whole guest house.
