The CockpitFranschhoek, Western Cape, South Africa Selfsorg | (POA) |
This charming bolt-hole in the historic heart of Franschhoek welcomes you with its warm village-cottage charm ? its comfortable, over-sized sofas; mezzanine bedroom and bookshelves loaded with novels, cookbooks and travel guides, will have you feeling instantly at home and relaxed.
Opening out onto a lush-green, secluded, townhouse-style garden with splash pool, this cosy cottage sleeps two people in a king-sized bedroom tucked into the eaves.
Decorated in a wash of creams, blues and yellows, reminiscent of an English cottage, with portraits of the owner's days as a glider pilot, this little cottage is a quiet, comfortable and unpretentious base from which to explore Franschhoek's sophisticated restaurants, galleries, markets and shops ? which are all just up the road.
