At the heart of the valley lies the enchanting village of Franschhoek, which is home to a range of award-winning restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and other attractions that are sure to delight visitors. Despite its secluded location, Franschhoek is actually quite accessible, with a number of exciting destinations located within easy driving distance. Visitors can take a short drive to the pristine beaches of the Cape, where they can relax and soak up the sun. Alternatively, they can play a round of golf, or venture out to Hermanus to experience some of the world's best land-based whale watching.
