Maison Franschhoek

Maison settled in the suave cosmopolis of Franschhoek. Where the voguishness of its village is perfectly counterbalanced by the abounding nature. A valley of vineyards, and endless mountain ranges with their flowing rivers and streams. Farm paddocks and roaming livestock. Nature trails and scenic adventure routes. Much like its environment, Maison is a destination unto itself. Encompassing all that this magnificent corner in the Cape Winelands has to offer. Having recently undergone an extensive renovation, retaining its soul and] splendid attire, Maison’s 18th Century barn and stables have embraced a chrysalis of creation, under the ardent eyes of their new owners. Artistry, expertise, love and wisdom has gone into the evolution of the farm of Maison.

Nurturing its essence and elevating it with sincerity. The soaring poplar trees, the olive groves, the watsonias, wild garlic and agapanthus are all still there. The rolling vineyards that unravel as an extension of the vast, open living spaces, seeping out into the gardens, under the wisteria pergola and giant old oaks. They’re all still there. The endless flow of what’s outside, flooding back in through the big sliding doors that disappear into cavity walls, allowing the views to permeate every room, is still there. The ongoing sentiment of marrying contemporary luxury with old charm is also still evident. And especially so, as Maison has merged itself into a sanctuary, adjacent the award-winning restaurant Chefs Warehouse, by renowned chef Liam Tomlin. Still sitting opposite the naartjie orchards, down a little pathway from the farmhouse.
