Maison Estate
Do you know the feeling when a place is not only beautiful but also feels like a lovingly kept secret? A place that radiates peace without being quiet — that inspires without imposing itself. Maison Estate in Franschhoek is just such a place. A retreat that combines the essence of South African rural life with contemporary design and culinary refinement.
A place with a soul
“Maison” — the French word for “home” — is more than just a name here. It is a promise. The property is nestled in the rolling hills of the Franschhoek Valley, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and old oak trees. The path to the residence leads through an avenue of poplars, past orchards and free-roaming chickens — a first sign that life takes place here in harmony with nature.
The architecture of the property combines the originality of a historic farmhouse with the clarity of modern lines. Interiors, designed by designers Seb Ackerstaff and Jessie Verdonschot, reflect this harmony: natural materials, soft colors and sophisticated details create an atmosphere of unobtrusive luxury. Particularly noteworthy are the bathrooms, which are equipped with elements from the renowned ByCocoon design studio.
Living with a view
The accommodation options on Maison Estate are as varied as they are well thought-out. The main residence offers four spacious bedrooms, two private pools and multiple fireplaces — ideal for families or groups who want to relax together. For couples or smaller groups, the Stables Villa with two bedrooms and the Botanical Suite with one bedroom are available, both with private pools and access to the extensive gardens.
The rooms are flooded with light, with large windows that offer views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains. The beds are generously sized and furnished with high-quality textiles, which ensure a restful night's sleep. Especially in the cooler months, the fireplaces invite you to round off the day with a glass of wine from our own production.

Culinary experiences at Chefs Warehouse
An absolute highlight of your stay is the culinary offerings at Chefs Warehouse at Maison. Chef David Schneider and Liam Tomlin present a modern interpretation of fine dining in the form of a four-course menu, which consists of small dishes intended to be shared. The ingredients are seasonal and locally sourced, adding freshness and authenticity to every dish.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is relaxed yet elegant. Large windows offer breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains, while subtle background music and the scent of freshly baked bread pamper the senses. A special experience is combining the dishes with the hotel's own wines, which can be tasted in the Tasting Room — right where they were made.
Sustainability and mindfulness in everyday life
Maison Estate not only thrives on external impressions, but also on an attitude that is characterized by mindfulness and respect for nature and life itself. As soon as you arrive, it is noticeable that sustainability is not being talked about here — it is lived out. The use of local materials in construction, natural climate regulation elements such as thick stone walls and high ceilings, and the conscious selection of regional suppliers are part of a holistic concept.
Fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown organically on the premises — much of which later ends up fresh on the plate in the restaurant. Viticulture is also carried out with particular attention to environmentally friendly methods. Guests are invited to slow down. Walking barefoot through the garden in the morning or listening to the sound of barbecues on the terrace in the evening quickly becomes a cherished ritual. Maison is a reminder of how valuable simplicity and authenticity can be.

Activities and surroundings
Maison Estate is ideally located for exploring the region. Franschhoek, known for its French history and culture, offers numerous galleries, boutiques and cafés. The surrounding vineyards invite you to go for walks and bike rides, while the nearby mountains offer opportunities for hiking.
On the estate itself, guests can stroll through the gardens, watch the animals or simply relax on the terrace and enjoy the peace and quiet. There is a lot for children to discover, from free-roaming chickens to extensive green spaces — a place where nature can be felt again.
Conclusion: A place to relax
Maison Estate is more than just accommodation — it is an experience. A place that appeals to the senses and at the same time allows you to relax. Whether for a romantic weekend, a family vacation or a break with friends — everyone will find their place here.
