About La Fontaine Boutique Hotel by The Oyster Collection

Indulge in luxury at La Fontaine, our exquisite boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Franschhoek. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, rolling hills and vineyards and just a short drive from Cape Town, you’ll be able to escape to this peaceful haven and enjoy unparalleled access to Franschhoek’s celebrated culinary scene. Immerse yourself in the comfort of La Fontaine, where every moment is truly a treat. And with our fleet of tour vehicles on hand, you can easily see the best of the region.

Located in the heart of the picturesque main village of Franschhoek, you’ll be steps away from the action, where world-class dining and charming shops and galleries await. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to retreat, away from the jovial happenings of the village, simply stay in and enjoy our tranquil gardens and swimming pools, which stretch across two properties. Dine al fresco on the outdoor breakfast patio, or take in the stunning mountain views from the front veranda, surrounded by lush vine and wisteria pergolas.

With a team of welcoming and knowledgeable staff led by Kim, you’ll feel instantly at home at La Fontaine. Our team is dedicated to exceeding your expectations and making your stay unforgettable.

Where to dine in Franschhoek recommendations ....

Franschhoek is celebrated as South Africa’s food and wine capital, and our recommendations make it easy to enjoy the village’s outstanding range of flavours — from relaxed bites to special-occasion dining. For casual dining on the main street, enjoy a glass (or two) at inVINcible Wine Bar, known for excellent wine curation and perfectly cooked steaks. Let’s Frite is a fun, chef-driven stop for burgers and fries, while French Connection Bistro is a long-time local favourite for generous, comforting French classics. Café du Vin offers a cosy atmosphere, fireplace warmth, and an impressive wine list for those who love a great bottle with their meal. For Italian, Allora serves far more than pizza, with hearty pastas, seafood and vegetarian options.
When you’re in the mood for fine dining, Franschhoek delivers. Try Ōku Asian Eatery and Yama for contemporary Asian and sushi, or book Protégé for polished, seasonal plates in a relaxed setting. Le coin Français offers a theatrical, craft-focused tasting experience, while Eleven highlights hyper-seasonal, sustainability-minded cuisine. For a classic Franschhoek institution, Reubens is a warm, welcoming choice, and Le Bon Vivant is a refined favourite for French-inspired dining.
