theLAB Franschhoek

Franschhoek (‘French Corner’ in Dutch) is a picturesque village where the laid back café culture has a distinctly French charm. Full of character, Franschhoek is distinguished by its fine colonial architecture, numerous gourmet restaurants, art galleries and curio shops.

Franschhoek is the culinary heart of South Africa. From traditional English pub food to classic French bistro fare and from superb wood-fired pizzas to contemporary Indian cuisine – there is something for every palate (during peak season, if any restaurant has caught your eye, we recommend that you book it in advance of your stay with us).

theLAB room automation system is undoubtedly the star of your whole guest house experience in Franschhoek. She is incorporated into each of our modern, minimalistic-styled rooms, which are in line with our eco-conscious ‘green’ ethos, all powered by solar-derived energy. Have fun and ask theLAB by voice command to: “make me a coffee,” “turn on the TV,” “close the blinds,” “set the alarm,” “turn off the lights.”
