Akademie Street Guesthouses
Akademie Street Guesthouses is a collection of separate and individual houses in the heart of the Cape Winelands village of Franschhoek. Each house is adjacent to the next, and each has a private pool and garden. They are linked through beautiful, fragrant gardens to the main house, Twyfeling, where breakfast is served on the patio. It is perfectly quiet, apart from the birdsong, yet only a two-minute walk to the restaurants and shops in the Franschhoek High Street.

Recent Challenges
Due to extreme flooding on September 24th and 25th, the entire Franschhoek Village has been temporarily cut off. Roads partially reopened on September 26th, but all utilities, including electricity, water and telephone connections are still down. Accordingly all hotels, restaurants, shops and businesses in the village have had to close. Regrettably Akademie Street Boutique Hotel is no different.
