Résidence Klein Oliphants Hoek

Located in a quiet position in the heart of the historic winelands village of Franschhoek, Résidence Klein Oliphants Hoek is the perfect place to relax after a day of wine tasting, haute cuisine, mountain hiking or browsing in antique shops and art galleries in the village.

Get cosy in one of our eight rooms, enjoy sunset on the wide verandah with its spectacular mountain views, make yourself at home in front of a large open fire in the comfortable, historic Mission Hall, or head for Bouillabaisse - Camil & Ingrid's trendy Champagne&Oyster bar and seafood deli on Franschhoek's main road - five minutes' walk from the guesthouse.

Résidence Klein Oliphants Hoek was founded in 1999, and is owned and run by Ingrid and Camil Haas. Ingrid and Camil travelled the world and its catering industry for 20 years, and settled down in Franschhoek in 1999. Camil and Ingrid won several awards, including the Eat Out Best New Restaurant and the Blazon of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs.

At Klein Oliphants Hoek, history and a sophisticated modern life-style go hand in hand: the guesthouse is built in a renovated mission post, and a lot of the antique and old-time chic has been kept. At the same time, the best of modern leasure tourism, including a warm, personalised and outstanding service, and an overall sense of well-being and chill-out, are central to the unique experience of staying at Klein Oliphants Hoek.

There are eight en suite rooms decorated in both classic and contemporary styles. For those looking for something special there are suites with private pools and secluded courtyards leading to scented gardens, and even one room with a rooftop Jacuzzi.
