Happy Valley Lodge, Franschhoek

Welcome to

Happy Valley Lodge

Franschhoek

Located in the picturesque valley of grapes in Franschhoek, our family-run self-catering guest lodge is situated on a small citrus farm. The Franschhoek River and the smaller Kastaiings River both border the farm. The beautiful mountains that surround us provide stunning scenery.

Franschhoek is 5 kilometres away from Happy Valley, and La Motte and Môreson Wine Farms are both within easy walking distance. When our clementines are in season, guests are free to take their pick!

Guests of our Manor House and Cottages can relax in the tranquillity of a private farm while being within a short drive of the charming village of Franschhoek and its many delicious restaurants.

The farm features multiple braai areas as well as a private riverfront pool bordered by old trees. A laundry service is available.
