Lekkerwijn, an historic Cape Dutch Homestead with magnificent
gardens set in the heart of the Cape Winelands, offers a unique
and memorable experience for single travellers, couples or families.
Lekkerwijn is ideally situated for visits to the abundance of wineries
in the Franschhoek valley – Boschendal, Allee Bleue and Solms
Delta are all within walking distance.
We are well positioned for easy access to the historically interesting
towns of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl.
We even offer you a chauffeur service to wherever you want to go
– restaurants, wine tasting, site-seeing, shopping or something
more energetic like horse riding, hiking or golf.

Lekkerwijn Country Guest House Accommodation
Downstairs Bedrooms
Camelia Suite
In the original master bedroom this beautifully appointed room with walk-in
closet and luxurious en-suite bathroom and shower resounds with the simple
luxury of polished wood and fine linen.
York
A spacious room off the internal courtyard. Twin beds face out over a
tranquil garden, the peace is broken only by the cry of Lekkerwijn bred
peacocks. This room has a modern en-suite with bath and shower.
Upstairs Bedroom Wing
Up the main staircase in the airy lobby is the upstairs bedroom wing.
This was added by Herbert Baker in 1907. Filled with paintings and drawings
by the Pickstone family, this former children’s wing offers commanding
views of the parkland and the valley.
Old Nursery (twin beds)
The former Nursery looks over the valley towards Franschhoek. Real luxury
can be found in the stylishly renovated en-suite bath and shower room.
This also gives the best vantage point of Lekkerwijn’s graceful
oak-lined driveway.
Peacock Suite
This comprises of a double bedded room and a bunk bedded room. These bedrooms
share the recently renovated private bathroom between them and look across
the flower garden and vineyards below towards the Drakenstein mountain
range.
Please note that the bathroom is not en-suite with the double room. This
suite of rooms is ideal for families with children, or adults who want
separate bedrooms but are happy to share a bathroom.
Owl Corner
The north end of the upstairs bedroom wing has a door allowing a private
area consisting of a double bedded room, a second room with a small double
brass bed and a small bathroom with shower. This unit is ideal for a couple
using the double room, two couples or a family with children.
The Coach House
This delightful self-catering cottage is part of the farm’s outbuildings.
While offering a relaxed, more self-determined environment the Coach House
retains the simple elegance that embodies the Main House. Not available
for one-night stays.
The Coach House cottage’s large double bed and day bed sleep up
to 3 persons. The cottage has a well equipped kitchenette and dining area
as well as a relaxing sitting room area with TV.
Please note that although this cottage is self-catering, we do service
the cottage daily unless you wish otherwise.
If the self catering cottage is not available guests staying in the main
house do have shared access to a small kitchen area (microwave, small
stove, fridge etc ) where they can prepare light meals, snacks and children’s
food. Crockery, cutlery and glasses are all provided.
Ballroom Cottage
This spacious 2-bedroom cottage was a wine cellar, later converted into
a ballroom by Harry Pickstone 100 years ago. The large living room with
fireplace is as it was.
The rest of the ballroom has been revised to include a bathroom, kitchen
and two double bedrooms. The cottage has a private garden looking on to
a persimon orchard.

Specially For Children
In a separate wing of the main house we have a delightful children’s
room and nursery with surrounding courtyard. There are toys and games
and a qualified Nanny who will ensure your children are well cared for.
A courtyard with toys is conveniently situated next to the nursery, where
children can enjoy themselves outside and visit Lekkerwijn’s dwarf
rabbit family. Children are also free to play in the extensive grounds
which includes a pool, swings, greenhouse and other petting animals (goats
and pigs).
In-house Entertainment
Lekkerwijn has a wide range of it’s own fauna, the peacocks and
guinea fowl will parade, particularly at any hint of being fed, and Pashmina
(our Stafordshire Bull-terrier) will try and round them all up at the
slightest opportunity. Wander round Lekkerwijn’s parklands and see
some of the most stunning views of mountains in the wine country.
The Muddle, our more relaxed sitting room, has a stereo and TV. Special
wine tastings and dinners can be arranged at the house by prior arrangement.
We also plan and host children’s parties.
