Walk to Franschhoek's restaurants and wine bars, spend afternoons beside the pool, and end the day around the fireplace with a glass of local wine.
Paloma Villa sits at the heart of Franschhoek village, one of the most walkable, food-obsessed, wine-rich addresses in South Africa. Everything that makes this valley worth visiting is within three minutes on foot. Fall in love with Franschhoek and enjoy the magic this villa has to offer.
This is a substantial private villa: 500 square metres across multiple levels, designed for groups who want space to spread out without sacrificing quality or location. The triple-volume main living area sets the tone. Generous, calm, and finished throughout, to a standard that The Paloma portfolio is known for.
Four en-suite bedrooms accommodate a total of eight guests comfortably, with a dedicated mezzanine level above the kitchen serving as a children's play area, complete with toys and games. Every part of the property is for your exclusive use. No shared spaces, no other guests, just your group and your home for the duration.
The outdoor spaces are a defining feature of the property. A large patio with a ten-seater dining table overlooks the pool and established garden, with mountain views framing the scene beyond. It's a setup made for long lunches, slow evenings, and the particular pleasure of doing very little, very well.
The main street, lined with some of South Africa's best restaurants, galleries, and wine tasting rooms, is a three-minute walk. Woolworths Food is two minutes away. The Huguenot Monument is one minute. A car is optional here.

About the host
Hosted by Megan Leenstra
I have spent over a decade working in hospitality, with my career taking me from remote game reserves and safari lodges to luxury coastal hospitality in Cape Town.
For the six years before establishing Paloma, I was part of the senior management team at the renowned POD Camps Bay, where I gained invaluable experience in high-end hospitality and caring for guests from around the world.
Over the years, I realised that what I love most about hospitality is the connection between people and places. I believe the most memorable stays are not necessarily about extravagance, but about feeling comfortable, cared for and genuinely welcome.
Outside of work, I’m happiest exploring. I love travelling, diving, cycling, photography and spending time outdoors, particularly near the ocean. Those experiences continually inspire the way I think about travel and the kinds of stays I hope to create for my own guests.
Above all, I want guests to arrive feeling excited, settle in feeling at home, and leave with wonderful memories of both the property and the place they came to experience.
What makes this property unique
The Paloma Portfolio was created from a love of design, meaningful travel, and attentive hospitality.
Our properties in Camps Bay and Franschhoek offer guests a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect, whether beside the ocean or surrounded by vineyards and mountains.
