Akademie Street Guesthouse

Akademie Street Guesthouses in Franschhoek are different in that they offer 5 star guesthouse accommodation in three separate and unique guest houses/ cottages, and one suite. Although each of the Guesthouses is different, each has its own swimming pool, and private garden, whilst the suite enjoys a private balcony, and exceptional views.

The Guesthouses have special names: Gelatenheid (Equanimity), Oortuiging (Conviction),  Vreugde (Joy) and Uitsig (View), and are all set in within a main property which boasts lush gardens, leading to the main house, where guests can enjoy breakfast under a vine covered patio, or in the Cape Dutch Homestead itself (named Twyfeling <Doubting>).

Akademie Street Guesthouses are the perfect place to enjoy peace, privacy and tranquillity, but with the assurance of personal attention at all times. It is also within an easy walk of many of the restaurants for which Franschhoek is justly famous.

Gelatenheid is a luxurious double storey guesthouse with a wide balcony from which to enjoy the excellent views of the surrounding Mountains. There is an extra large loft incorporating the bed/dressing/sitting room with a king size bed, TV and en-suite bathroom. Certainly very specious and comfortable, and guests have the use of a private pool.

Oortuiging was built in the 1860's, but has been lovingly restored, without detraction from the charm of the original building. There are two en-suite bathrooms, a lounge, a kitchen and a dining room. This Guesthouse can accommodate up to three guests. The house is in the shade of a giant white stinkwood tree, and guests can relax in the sun, at the pool garden.

Vreugde is a garden suite that sleeps two in twin three-quarter beds with the choice of having a king-size bed if required. The bath and shower are separate, there is a small kitchenette and French doors open onto a wide veranda with a beautiful garden and small pool. Vreugde guest house offers both tranquillity and peace.

This is the newest addition, and sleeps two guests. The bath and shower are separate and French doors open onto a private balcony with a beautiful view of the Franschhoek Mountains. This private, upstairs suite is wonderfully comfortable and spacious but has no pool or private garden as do the other guesthouses.
