Franschhoek lies in one of the most scenic wine valleys in the world, a mere 45 minutes from Cape Town. This traditionally French town has been dubbed the food and wine capital of South Africa, with eight of the top 100 restaurants in the country found here, and close on 30 wine cellars and over 28 restaurants from which to choose for your epicurean adventure.

Make Annie's Song your base from which to explore this magnificent destination. This five bedroom en-suite country mansion is literally hemmed in by the majestic Hottentots Holland and Drakenstein mountain ranges. An idyllic family getaway, the luscious lawns and azure blue pool beckon you to venture outside where children can splash to their hearts' delight, play hide-and-seek in safety and practice their climbing skills on the jungle gym. Borrow a bike to scout the farm roads, snuggle up with a book from the well-stocked library or soak up some Vitamin D on one of the pool loungers.

Décor is comfortable, layered and farm-style luxurious, inviting you to put your feet up after a long day exploring. Antiques scattered throughout remind one of the rich history of the region. Enormous bedrooms with glass sliding doors open onto the lush gardens and wrap-around mountain views, and freestanding bathtubs call for a steamy soak after a lengthy day's adventures.
