Franschhoek is well known throughout the world for its breathtaking scenery, excellent Cape wines, and top-notch dining experience options. Any trip to the Western Cape of South Africa must include a night in Franschhoek Wine Valley.

You can relax on your patio or cool off in the swimming pool during the sweltering summer months before dining at one of the village's many renowned cafés or restaurants.
The guesthouse provides a peaceful relaxation while still being conveniently close to all the attractions and amenities Franschhoek has to offer. Whether you're a wine enthusiast, foodie, or nature lover, Residence Vive La Vie Guesthouse caters to all preferences for a memorable stay in the Western Cape.

The guesthouse is a gem!
An oasis of peace with a beautiful garden and a clean pool. A super friendly gardener tends to the garden and provides loungers. The service team warmly welcomes you in the morning with a delicious breakfast that leaves nothing to be desired. The rooms are spacious and tastefully furnished.We've already stayed there for the second time (3 and 4 days) and will definitely return. We highly recommend it.

A fantastic stay!
My husband and I had a fantastic stay! The breakfast was amazing, and the service was impeccable. We were the only couple staying over that weekend, but we were given the full treatment with a few little extras to make our stay. The ladies in the kitchen are the sweetest. I will definitely be returning. Thanks.

A Bit of History
Bertil and Ingrid Postema, the owners of Residence Vive La Vie, have travelled to South Africa, specifically to the Franschhoek Wine Valley. Both the village and Residence Vive La Vie Guesthouse have captured their hearts. They became the proud owners of Residence Vive La Vie in September 2019 after making an offer to buy the stunning property in late 2018, the same year they had their first stay at the guesthouse.
Rooms and Accommodation
You can choose from five exquisitely decorated bedrooms at Residence Vive La Vie. We have four spacious and elegant king suites and one smaller queen suite with windows and glass doors that let in natural light. Each space is different, but the colour scheme employs distinctive and well-balanced shades. Each unit has an en-suite bathroom; all suites have showers exclusively.
Facilities
Sit on the front patio, relax by the pool, and take in the views of the surrounding mountains while you are staying at the house. Savour a delicious breakfast in our dining area every morning.
Use our mobile spa if you would want to unwind even more. Located right here at Residence Vive La Vie, it is a luxury travelling spa that offers spa services to its patrons in the tranquillity and comfort of their surroundings.
