7 Koppies Farm

The setting for 7 Koppies Farm is immense in proportion, with 50 hectares of thriving fynbos you feel you could reach out and ruffle, meandering around its rugged namesake ‘koppies’ (stony hills) and out to the Simonberg mountains. An Edenic view, and just a hint of the region’s majestic rurality. But, back at the homestead things are cosy as can be. A log-burner warms the communal kitchen, the house butler mixes up G&Ts, guests gather on the shaded poolside veranda, and a muddle of heirlooms, travel finds, vintage pieces and local artworks show that this house is loved and lived-in. Not trying to be a wine estate or Michelin-starred darling – there’s enough of that in the surroundings – this hideaway wants to make you feel at home, which it does with immense success.

The hotel’s a mere 20-minute drive from the whimsical porchfronts of Franschhoek’s high street, but it feels far removed, surrounded by rambling fynbos and craggy koppies. It’s circled by fine wineries, nature reserves and restaurants with serious reps.
