About Angala Boutique Hotel & Guest House

Tucked into a green valley in the palm of Franschhoek's mountains, Angala is more than a winelands retreat. This is where you come if you want a revitalising private break. Not only is the guesthouse discreetly located, it's small, so takes just a few visitors at a time. Come for the sights, the winelands and the lovely town, but also for your health – there's a sauna, a natural swimming pool and a second ozonated heated pool. Practise your asanas in the studio or garden (many Cape Town yoga centres host retreats at Angala), and relax in luxurious accommodation.

Highlights

The sheer indulgence of it all. This small boutique hotel/guesthouse has everything in the way of luxury options and wellness facilities. Every suite and cottage is crisply furnished, and the views are nothing short of spectacular. Try the River Cottage – it has an outdoor bath and private plunge pool.

The proximity to Cape Town International Airport, a mere 45 minutes by road.

Sunsets are a sight to behold – lose yourself in them, Scotch in hand, on your private terrace.

The property

Surrounded by trees and those magnificent peaks, Angala's main area has a wonderful wide veranda that beckons you to gaze at the views. There’s an outdoor lounge with a massive built-in fireplace and soft seating. The adjacent dining room overlooks the much-talked-about eco pool (yes, you will swim with tadpoles). There are enough sunloungers to go around. The furnishings' muted white and cream tones enhance the retreat atmosphere. And the cuisine? It's delicious five-star fabulous.
