Once you've experienced the spirituality, natural beauty and unparalleled views and vistas around us, you will understand why.
Dieu Donné – dating back to 1855 - is a delightful haven of peace and tranquility in the most beautiful valley in South Africa: the picturesque and world renowned wine producing enclave of Franschhoek. We operate a small and intimate family run guest house where personal attention to our clients and their needs are of utmost importance. We pride ourselves on warm welcomes and personal service - we do it all with country hospitality rivaled nowhere. We are just four minutes from the historic Franschhoek village, flanked by the sensational Huguenot and Franschhoek mountains. Excite your visual senses by the sheer breathtaking power and glory of the mountains in front of us. Accommodation We have two freestanding cottages comprising one bedroom each, two freestanding cottages comprising two bedrooms each, as well as one freestanding cottage comprising The Squirrel Suite. All in all there are six en-suite bedrooms plus The Suite. All the en-suite rooms as well as The Suite are private with their own covered patios and individual, separate entrances - none of the rooms are linked to each other with an interleading door.
Each of our bedrooms has its own individual, unique character with different colour schemes – all natural and rustic with huge showers, pure cotton bed linen, private entrances, covered private patios and views forever. With numerous water features and two dams, a swimming pool and hot tub (jacuzzi) on the farm, the calming and tranquilizing effect of water will soon work its magic. English Room

DirectionsFrom Cape Town International Airport:
Leave the air port and take N2 heading for Somerset West - Not Cape Town.
At Somerset West take offramp indicating Somerset West and Stellenbosch (Road R44). Somerset West to Franschhoek is approx. 40 kilometers.
Follow this road all the way into Stellenbosch and you will go through quite a number of traffic lights. At the second last intersection there is a Mercedez Benz garage on the right (this is a beacon).
At the next intersection you turn right - there is a sign indicating Franschhoek. You are now on the (road R310) way to Franschhoek over Helshoogte pass.
Over the pass, keep going until you get to a T-Junction.
At this T-Junction you will go right - there is a sign indicating Franschhoek to the right (road R45).
Follow this road all the way until you reach Franschhoek and on this main road (R45), you can look for two signs on the left side of the road: First one is a brown sign saying "B+B Dieu Donné", and the other one is a green sign saying "La Provence Road".
Although these signs are on the left side of the road, you can only turn right. Do turn right onto La Provence Road and follow this little road to a T-Junction.
At the T turn right and 400 meters later you will arrive at our gates.
Remember the code: 1234 & # (you must put the hash as well - it's in the bottom right hand side corner of the key pad).
