Boschendal
Franschhoek & The Winelands

For a taste of tranquil farm living, head to this picturesque wine estate outside Franschoek, one hour’s drive from Cape Town. Founded in 1685, Boschendal is one of the oldest farms in the country and offers both comfort and stylish simplicity. The accommodation ranges from the historic Herbert Baker (the Lutyens of South Africa) designed Rhodes Cottage (complete with eco-friendly pool) to beautifully renovated farm labourer cottages, sprawled across a South African national heritage site. Note that to reach some of the cottages you will require own transport.

Go fruit picking in season and savour the unique atmosphere along the trails. This is true rural living and we love the authentic atmosphere. Take in the imposing outline of the Simonsberg Mountain and go swimming in the dams – natural luxury at its best.  Seasonal vineyard tours, horse riding and wine tastings are all must-do experiences while staying here. Finish the day with pampering at the Farm Spa. 

Dining options embrace the farms organic ethos; eat at the Werf Restaurant, Farm Shop & Deli, or Le Pique Nique. Alternatively, have meal baskets brought to your cottage or buy some fresh produce at the deli. A great option for families or couples seeking a private retreat.

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.

Client Testimonials

Everything you did for us whilst we were away was hugely appreciated, and Ampersand has been exemplary in every way. I'll always recommend you!
- Mr Richard Stoughton, Sri Lanka
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
