Renowned for having some of South Africa’s top award-winning restaurants and a legendary wine culture, Franschhoek appeals to those with palettes for the finer things in life. With Fleur du Soleil Luxury Guesthouse as an indulgent refuge, guests’ visits to this part of the world are truly exceptional.
The boutique guesthouse is in the heart of Franschhoek in a quiet neighbourhood only a few minutes walk to everything the village has to offer.

To Fleur du Soleil, true service is an experiential sense of belonging. It is a dedicated, intuitive focus on how guests want to be treated, grounded in the genuine care experienced during their stay, and defined by an abundance of humanity and generosity.
This starts with the guesthouse’s passionate team, welcoming guests to be the very centre of their world; all staff united as a team to make Fleur du Soleil feel like a home away from home.
Be it local information or a dining reservation, or perhaps organising activities, day trips or outdoor adventures, the dedicated team at Fleur du Soleil will ensure everything is catered to well in advance and during guests’ stay.
From the everyday to the impossible, the staff are poised to make any request guests have a reality.
Configured over two levels to maximise space and freedom of movement, five sumptuous guest suites are centralised around the expansive pool area.
The simplistic layout creates an easy flow from guest suites to any of the amenities. Each with its own unique interior design aesthetic and ambience, Fleur du Soleil’s fully serviced suites are the definition of guest-centric. Every comfort and convenience are catered to with loving precision.
Guests will either find themselves in the French Baroque meets steampunk Bougainvilliers Suite, or perhaps in the lavish but relaxed Le Coucher Suite, offering staggering mountain views from the private balcony. Each with a distinct flavour sure to delight, the remaining suites, Cabane, Vignobles, and Fleur du Soleil, are destinations rather than rooms.
Within the Fleur du Soleil walls, attention to detail is a habit, not a mere task. True attention to detail cannot be found in a manual. The luxury guesthouse’s hiring practices, staff training and team working conditions remain ever elevated so that guests feel valued, understood and always cared for.
With a commitment to supporting the local community, they have ensured that every detail in every suite – from the light fittings and decorations to the fabrics, linens, artwork and furniture; from the dining cutlery to their staff uniforms, down to guests’ complimentary bathroom toiletries – are locally sourced and created by resident artists, designers and craftsmen.
For breakfast, fresh seasonal fruits and organic produce are hand-selected from neighbouring sustainable producers and farms. Freshly-baked croissants are room-delivered daily, served with mouthwatering handmade artisanal preserves.
With zero tolerance for wastage, including biodegradable containers and utensils, Fleur du Soleil’s commitment to a greener planet remains unwavering.
The doors are always open at Fleur du Soleil Luxury Guesthouse, where everything their guests touch, taste, feel and see is an immersion into South Africa’s vibrant, eclectic culture.
