Dieu Donné Guest Farm – dating back to 1855 - is a delightful haven of peace and tranquillity in the most beautiful valley in South Africa: the picturesque and world renowned wine producing enclave of Franschhoek.
We operate a small and intimate family run guest house where personal attention to our clients and their needs are of utmost importance. We pride ourselves on warm welcomes and personal service - we do it all with country hospitality rivalled nowhere.
We are just four minutes from the historic Franschhoek village, flanked by the sensational Huguenot and Franschhoek mountains. Excite your visual senses by the sheer breathtaking power and glory of the mountains in front of us.
With numerous water features and two dams, a swimming pool and hot tub (jacuzzi) on the farm, the calming and tranquilising effect of water will soon work its magic.
Start your day with a hearty but healthy breakfast in our dining room - built amongst oak trees dating back to 18th century - while we take the hassle out of booking restaurants in the “Food and Wine Capital of South Africa”.
Please note that we do not cater for children under sixteen. We promote an environment of peace, tranquillity and relaxation, hence our policy of no children, no TV's and no telephones in the rooms. There is beautiful meditation music in every room for our guests to completely relax by.
We have 6 standard double rooms (al en-suite with showers) housed in four separate, free standing buildings.
Squirrel Suite (en-suite with shower, double vanity and jacuzzi bath) is a building on its own and free standing from all the other rooms.
Each of our bedrooms has its own individual, unique character with different colour schemes – all natural and rustic with huge showers, pure cotton bed linen, private entrances, covered private patios and views forever…
