Once you've experienced the spirituality, natural beauty and unparalleled views and vistas around us, you will understand why. Dieu Donné – dating back to 1855 - is a delightful haven of peace and tranquility in the most beautiful valley in South Africa: the picturesque and world renowned wine producing enclave of Franschhoek. We operate a small and intimate family run guest house where personal attention to our clients and their needs are of utmost importance. We pride ourselves on warm welcomes and personal service - we do it all with country hospitality rivaled nowhere. We are just four minutes from the historic Franschhoek village, flanked by the sensational Huguenot and Franschhoek mountains. Excite your visual senses by the sheer breathtaking power and glory of the mountains in front of us. ACCOMMODATIONWe have three free standing cottages comprising 4 bedrooms, as well as another two cottages comprising two bedrooms each with separate private entrances. Each of our bedrooms has its own individual, unique character with different colour schemes – all natural and rustic with huge showers, pure cotton bed linen, private entrances, covered private patios and views forever. With numerous water features and two dams, a swimming pool and hot tub (jacuzzi) on the farm, the calming and tranquilizing effect of water will soon work its magic.
