This 1855 thatched Cape Dutch Manor house and neighbouring Country House have been totally refurbished, blending traditional Huguenot heritage with stylish modern luxury. With views of a vine-green valley and ageless mountains with no beginning or end, guests have described the personal service, attention to detail and pure relaxation as 'heaven on earth'. Basse Provence has 7 en-suite rooms and one two bedroomed cottage, which is the ideal accommodation for families on holiday in Franschhoek.
