Some of the rooms are under thatch. Four of the rooms face natural gardens
alongside the pool and the rest are just below a small stream looking
onto the farm's vineyards.
Klein Waterval's relaxed farm atmosphere provides an excellent base from
which to explore the surrounding attactions and landmarks, whilst offering
much to do on the farm itself.

Swimming and merely relaxing around the pool area or

exhilirating day, enjoying a glass of superb

to our guests.

The fertile valley of Franschhoek nestles between towering mountains in
the heart of the Cape Winelands. Founded in 1688 by French Huguenots,
the picturesque village of Franschhoek has become world-famous for its
warm hospitality, superb cuisine and outstanding arts and crafts. Bastille
day on the 14th of July celebrates the village's French Heritage with
a festival of fine French food and Wine.
The natural beauty of the landscape has been enhanced
by man. Vineyards and Fruit farms, interspersed with clumps of pine, form
a delicately interwoven tapestry of mingling colours and shades. Amongst
the patchwork of farms in the valley are some of South Africa's oldest
and most famous wine estates. The grand old Cape Dutch farmhouses and
Wine stores have watched proudly over the land for centuries, and are
still producing some of South Africa's top wines today.
