Franschhoek Traveller's Lodge is situated in the heart of the picturesque town of Franschhoek. The lodge is housed in the historic, century old hostel of Franschhoek High School.
We have 29 rooms, with 80 beds. The rooms are configured to have either 2, 4 or 6 beds. Because this is an old school hostel, there are no en-suite bathrooms and the furnishings are basic. The rates per person per night reflect this.
Some groups hire our kitchen at R300.00 per day, to do their own catering. This is only available during off-season periods. We also have a dining room, BOMA Braai Area and conference room.
