The hotel itself has a very unique and grand style, quite unlike anywhere else in the area, with a stately hall and dining room, glittering Indian chandeliers hanging from the vaulted ceilings, beautiful artwork, elegant antiques, and peacocks roaming the gardens. The infinity pool looks out over the beautiful surrounding countryside, and the hotel focuses on the incredible gastronomy and ingredients of the Franschhoek Valley, offering fine dining in the palatial dining room, or outside on the terrace.
The eleven suites within the hotel are ideal for couples, whilst the villas dotted throughout the grounds provide families, groups or couples looking for a bit more privacy with their dream accommodation. La Residence also has two in-house spa therapists, offering a range of relaxing treatments either indoors or, if the weather is nice, outside in the Tea House overlooking the dam.
