    Property was very clean and had everything you would need for a short stay. We only stayed one night but I could see this being a place you could have longer stays at. Very spacious and the bed was so very comfortable! The fireplace was also a big...

    The location was great as it is in a quiet spot a little way out of Franschoek main street so it was lovely and quiet. The cottage was beautifully equipped and had everything you needed. The bed was super comfortable.

Property information

Set up against the mountain, just a five minutes drive from Franschhoek village, you will find Stony Brook Vineyards. A working wine farm offering five, country style cottages that are self-catering with kitchenettes equipped with basic cooking appliances suitable for cooking small, simple meals. All our water on the farm comes from a private, natural spring up in the mountain and is not only safe to drink but refreshing and pure. We supply 100% cotton bed linen, bath towels as well as pool towels in the summer months. The cottages are not air conditioned but there are standing fans. We do offer WiFi, however, as we are on a farm, it is not fibre and thus not suitable for work, streaming or gaming. For the winter months the cottages have indoor fireplaces that keep the cottages cozy and warm. Come and enjoy the mountain view and lovely bird life from your patio while sipping a glass of Stony Brook wine.

Neighbourhood information

Located in the Bohoek area of Franschhoek and removed from the busy village centre, Stony Brook Cottages are the perfect escape for a relaxing weekend getaway.
