Location: South Africa » Western Cape » Cape Winelands » Route N2 » FranschhoekAvondrood Guest HouseAvondrood Guest HouseDescriptionAlthough Avondrood is a small guest house, there is a great potential for guests to appreciate many aspects of its Victorian style combined with Cape Dutch influence, and recently renovated in a very personal way. You might wonder where the eastern touch comes from or what the story behind the huge fire place might be. Your hosts will be delighted in telling you all about this and that. Or simply bring you a glass of wine to the next cosy corner of your choice, indoors or outdoors. "The green lush garden, opening up to the impressive mountain range that turns deep red in the evening, set the tone for my breakfast, and inexorably for the rest of my day."
Right in the heart of Franschhoek, a spacious garden with uninterrupted panoramic views is indeed a very special feature. One of the many to enjoy at Avondrood or 'Evening Red' where all is about genuine hospitality, homely ambience and of course quality.
From our corner of paradise in the fertile valley of Franschhoek we would love to share our home and make sure you get the very best out of your holiday.
Your hosts, Lutgard and Rudi Lauryssen Wine & dine Good food, good wine, good company.
Breakfast is one of the most pleasurable moments at Avondrood. Fresh farm produce combined with Lutgard's creative talents and topped with Rudi's delicious Belgian cake, will energize you for the rest of the day. Your hosts invite you into their private kitchen to choose from the breakfast buffet to be enjoyed in the garden patio. In the very unlikely event of unsuitable weather breakfast is served in the exquisitely renovated dining room. Accommodation Standard Deluxe Room Something different.
