“Lovely stay in Franschoek”

The property is enchanting and mystical! Beautiful art pieces every where and so much to see and explore. We loved the dam and the beautiful garden.

“We had a really special stay”

It’s location, beautiful views . It was cosy and friendly

This is a delightful location with stunning views of the mountains. It also had a quirky touch with the gardens laid out with statues and unusual artworks. We much appreciated the cool water of the natural pool as temperatures were particularly high while we were staying.

“Lovely and unique”

Lovely cottage in a good and quite location with a nice view of the mountains and an interesting garden with interesting artwork in the garden. The bedroom was large and very nicely decorated with a very comforatble king size bed. All the necessaties are available in the cottage.

“Just a great place to stay”

Set in a beautiful location. Allows you to relax away from people .

“Wonderful and unique setting”

The pool

“Wonderful location and well equipped cottage, would definitely return.”

The location was just wonderful with beautiful views of the mountains and 3+ hectares of fynbos to explore on the farm. I loved it.

“Delightful, well priced Franschhoek stay”

A delightful cottage with stunning views of the Franschhoek Mountains, very close to Franschhoek town. The rustic cottage has an artistic flair but the real surprise was the incredible garden featuring sculptures. Dan’s and a large labarynth. The host was very responsive and helpful when the internet went down. Overall a wonderful stay in a beautiful apartment of the world.

The view of the mountains was exceptional from the stoop. The cottage was very close to town but far enough away to be peaceful. The host was always on hand by whatsapp if needed. The cottage was well equipped for self catering our breakfast and snacks. There was a big fridge.The bed was a large king size. Security was good with bars on windows and doors. The price was extremely reasonable for Franschhoek.

“Our stay was too short but we would definitely like to return for a long weekend and explore the property a bit more! Th”

Lovely host beautiful view!

“An unexpected heaven”

“The property is quirky and beautiful, garden was breathtaking with mountain backdrop. it’s amazing to read about the art”

The garden was absolutely beautiful and learning about the artist Andrea Desmond Smith, you only appreciate the place and her work around it even more. The fire place was amazing. The facility was well stocked with kitchen equipment, heaters, electric blankets. The cottage is really clean and spacious.

“Cold and lots of ticks”

Nothing

“Magical.”

We loved the location. It was a very short drive to the centre of town, yet the property made us feel like we were in the countryside, surrounded by the most outstanding scenery. The gardens were absolutely delightful. A truly magical and incredibly relaxing experience!!!

“Cozy house”

Cozy and comfortable apartment in a nice area!

“Wonderful, stunning, peaceful place even more so when you love and understand art and nature :-)”

The location of Akkedis cottage on the Artemis Estate is absolutely stunning. If you are looking for the most peaceful place in the Franschhoek valley to unwind from hectic city life, a weekend away from hustle and bustle or the end of an exhausting vacation trip through beautiful South Africa, this is where you have to stop and relax! The host was very attentive and responsive throughout the stay.

Akkedis is in a beautiful setting with extensive gardens to walk in and original art that helps to create a tranquil atmosphere. The views from the freshwater pool are stunning. Staff are friendly and informative, we had a wonderful 2 night stay

“Don’t delay - book!”

Everything about this property is magical. Trust the reviews and book! Great kitchen, huge bedroom, oodles of hot water, soft towels and the grounds are stunning including a beautiful pool. We have stayed in India, Chile and Oman in some off beat places but this was exceptional!
