Located within walking distance to the picturesque village of Franschhoek, Rainbow Residence is a luxurious, modern and light-filled two bedroom apartment that features 116m² of open plan living. The overall design is sleek, yet cosy, with an African twist and attention to detail. It has been designed as a home away from home with services and amenities you expect to find in a 5 star hotel. Ideal for couples seeking space and privacy, this accommodation offers plenty of room featuring "his and her" bathrooms. With the good-sized second bedroom it is also convenient for up to four guests. Both bathrooms are fitted with Japanese wash toilets. The master bathroom has a bathtub and walk-in shower. Our luxurious beds are fitted with fine Egyptian linen and guests can choose between down or synthetic duvets and pillows. For special comfort we provide pyjamas, bathrobes, slippers and Charlotte Rhys bathroom amenities. The stylish covered patio features a comfortable dining and lounge area with magnificent mountain views and is the perfect place for a relaxed breakfast and sundowners. The apartment offers climate controlled air-conditioning for both cooling and heating and, for the winter months, has a beautiful wood-burning fireplace. The open plan living area is light and airy, with a beautifully designed kitchen-diner and a spacious sitting area. The fully equipped kitchen is fitted with top of the range Bosch appliances and marble bench-tops. For your convenience there is a Nespresso machine, milk frother and an excellent selection of quality teas. The Residence offers complimentary WiFi, Netflix, DSTV and international live TV, the loan of a local mobile phone and a Marshall bluetooth speaker for your music. There is a power back up system in place to guarantee power supply during the hours of load shedding.
It is a pleasure to welcome you to my home in beautiful Franschhoek. Travelling is my passion and I have visited numerous places around the world, but when I first arrived in this beautiful little town, I instantly felt at home. The stunning landscape, the friendly welcoming people and the wonderful wine and fine dining venues make this a perfect getaway place. Moreover, everything is within walking distance, easily accessible and very safe. The fashionable boutiques and unique craft shops add to the ambience. The Village is well connected to public transport with the Wine Tram, Taxis, Uber and tuk tuks providing ease of passage. Our team is dedicated to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We have put together a list of restaurants and activities we have personally tested and are very happy to assist with restaurant and activity bookings. We deeply hope that you will have memorable moments here and get hooked on this little paradise like we did. Have a wonderful stay in Rainbow Residence!
Franschhoek is world-renowned as a food and wine capital. It has the finest wines and an abundance of stylish tasting venues on offer. Many fine-dining restaurants, such as the famous La Petite Colombe, are all within a short distance of Rainbow Residence. Gourmet food is plentiful with the local Woolworths, Checkers and artisanal delis representative of excellent fresh fare close by. Also, there are many fashionable boutiques that offer locally produced clothing, jewellery and decorative items. After all this fabulous food, Franschhoek has plenty of activities on offer too. From hiking to mountain biking, fishing and beautiful golf courses, the choice is endless. For the car enthusiast, the nearby Franschhoek Motor Museum is a must see. And on a Saturday, the Village Market offers local quality craft, good food and drink paired with soulful music under the oak trees.
