Nestled in the magnificent Franschhoek Valley, only 45 minutes north from Cape Town, Heuwelsig 'Plaashuis' is situated on a working farm, sporting the same name. This attractive property was recently restored and extended from the original farm house to offer self-catering with three luxury suites, which can accommodate up to six people.

Heuwelsig is located five kilometers outside the town of Franschhoek, offering you the serenity of farm living, but also the convenience and easy access to Franschhoek and its superb restaurants and cultural attractions.

Franschhoek owes its existence to the French Huguenots, who fled their homeland in the late 1600's, when Protestantism was outlawed. Today Franschhoek is known as "The Gourmet Capital of South Africa", with eight of South Africa's "Top 100 Restaurants" located here. The character of Franchhoek is reflected in the hospitality of its people and the scenic beauty of this valley, where vineyards stretches across the mountain slopes, enchanting the hearts of locals and tourists alike.

Heuwelsig offers an authentic country home experience. Whether you're looking for business convenience, or a gateway to the Western Cape's tourist attractions, you can be assured of that home away from home feeling when staying with us. We at Heuwelsig believe that there are no greater privilege than the peace, comfort and security of feeling at home.

Our limited number of guests can be assured of an unforgettable stay, with peaceful and elegant surroundings and the enjoyment of the full flavor of Franschhoek country living.
