Welcome to Happy Valley
We are a family owned self catering guest lodge situated on a small citrus farm in the heart of the Franschhoek winelands. Two rivers border the farm, the smaller Kastaiings river and the Franschhoek river which joins the Berg river about 4kms downstream. We are surrounded by mountains and boast exceptional views.
Happy Valley is situated 5kms from Franschhoek and are a stroll away from the famous La Motte and Eikehof vineyards. Join in our harvest and pick your own clementines in season!!
Our Manor House and Cottages offer the sought after peace, tranquility and privacy you'd expect on a privately owned farm, with the lively little village of Franschhoek, food and wine capital of the Cape, a mere 5 minutes away.
Our swimming pool is in a secluded spot by the river with ancient oaks offering shade, and there are various braai areas around the Farm. There is a laundry service available.
