Good morning! ☕️ We hope you've enjoyed a peaceful weekend. We've had a very busy one and deligted to spot some new online reviews shared by our guests over the past week. Thank you! 🌸

✅️ “The place that has it all. The whole experience was just perfect, the staff, the breakfast, location just loved it, highly recommend.” (Reviewed: 5 November 2026)

✅️ “Very good” (Reviewed: 3 November 2026)

✅️ “Excellent guest house. Would stay again. Really enjoyable stay. Cindy and her staff were friendly and provided excellent service. Room was a great size and had its own entrance to outside. Lounge area was nice and had complimentary snacks and drinks. Breakfast was relaxed but food was very nice. Would stay again. Tiny bit out of the main Franschhoek drag so small walk into and back from 'town'.” (Reviewed: 1 November 2026)

✅️ "Superb" (Reviewed: 1 November 2026)

Come stay with us! Rest. Enjoy. Indulge! 🥂✨️

It's not too soon for a summer cocktail! By the pool, in room, or on the front patio - we love to serve our guests some refreshing cocktails and mocktails. 🍹🍸 Regardless of the weather.

It is a little cooler and cloudy today, but the warm days are coming. Next weekend looks like a scorcher according to the forecast. So, we'll be making sure we're ready!

Why not book a Franschhoek getaway with us? Just come rest and indulge. 🥂🌸

NEW ON OUR BLOG! ✨️🍴🍷 A Village You Can Eat Your Way Through on Foot

Franschhoek is small. The centre of the village runs along the main Road, with the Huguenot Monument at the top end and shops, galleries, tasting rooms and restaurants strung along it in both directions. Side streets hold a few more. The Franschhoek W**e Tram terminus is on the main road as well, which is why so many guests never move their car for the duration of a three night stay with us!

The practical upshot? You can book a tasting menu with a w**e pairing and walk home afterwards. That is genuinely rare in the Cape W**elands, where most fine dining is attached to an estate several kilometers out of town.

We have compiled a list of Restaurants a Short Walk From 47 Huguenot Street, where Ashbourne House is located.

These are village restaurants, on or just off the main road, reachable on foot from our guesthouse. Walking times depend on which end of Huguenot Road you are heading for, so treat the column provided as a guide and check before you leave for an early booking.

You'll find the list here: 👇🏼

It is another sunnyside up kinda Monday! ☕️🍳 Good morning and a happy and blessed November to everyone. 🌸

Breakfast is always a buzz at Ashbourne House. Our guests indulge in wholesale made-to-order cooked breakfasts and there are also lots to choose from on the Continental buffet. From fresh pastries and cold meats to fruit salad, cereals and yoghurts.

More than enough to build up strength for the day's travels and exploring! 🚗

Good morning from Franschhoek! 👋🏼 It is another stunner of a Spring day in the valley and our garden is lovely and lush, showing off with enthusiasm. 🌸🌹

We're busy serving breakfast now and our guests are chatting away happily, discussing last night's dinner and the plan for the day ahead. Our favourite time of the day. With strong, fresh coffee, of course! ☕️

Later we'll welcome our weekend guests for their special Ashbourne House experience! ✨️

We put it to you that today is a pool-side day! 🏖 At least for our inhouse guests this spot right here will be very tempting... 🏊‍♀️🌞 The sun is out and Spring is showing off in the w**elands with fresh green vines and gorgeous, sparkling days to enjoy.

Go out exploring or stay in for some rest? You can do both! 🌸🍹 Book your holiday or weekend escape with us soon.
