La Clé, which means "the key," takes advantage of Franschhoek's magnificent mountain-and-valley backdrop. La Clé's essence is found not just in the extraordinary attention to detail, fine finishing, and superb location, but also in the range of experience. The cuisine is lively and fresh, from local-style 'braais' to full breakfast tables, bespoke picnics, private dining, and select Shared Table evenings, thanks to a staff of chefs.

​

The key in their emblem represents the unlocking of Franschhoek's secrets, and they invite their guests to live like a local in the stunning Cape Winelands. Soak in the valley, visit the art galleries, browse at the market, and try the local wines to experience a sense of calm, spaciousness, taste, and style with the Franschhoek lifestyle. 

​

The Lodge and Villas are nestled among vineyards on the outskirts of Franschhoek, just a short walk from the village center.
