Recently renovated and interior-designed, Tugela blends a collection of Botanical, wildlife and bird prints, bamboo and open-beam ceilings, woven African baskets, grass-lamp chandeliers, colourful Indian cotton bedspreads and cushions, with bright walls and textured wall paper to give this home a wonderfully relaxed, yet sophisticated, feel. Large garden with swimming pool and expansive views of the surrounding mountains. Secluded and serene. A family sanctuary in the heart of Franschhoek.

Jo has been in Franschhoek since 2002 and was raised a few kilometres away over the mountains. The years in between were spent in the UK, Australia, France, Croatia and New York fuelling his desires for adventure, finishing off with a solo sailing trip down the Irrawaddy River, in Burma, and on through the Andaman Sea. Jo moved down to Franschhoek, settling in arguably the most scenically beautiful wine valley in the world. This is one of eight properties under the ‘Explorers Club’ umbrella. Communication prior to your stay will be per email. We are around to assist, but not based at the property. Check in's are done in person.

Beautiful mountains and vineyards surround our beautiful town. Walk through the main road and browse through the many quaint shops or explore the different wineries and restaurants.
