Framed by 2 large jacarandas and an ancient oak sits The Library, a striking double-storey self-catering home. The Library rests in tranquil and peaceful surroundings in a quiet corner of the village. A more suitable and relaxing location, for a base to explore the valley and region, would be difficult to find. It is just minutes walk from the village’s bustling main road.
The Library offers spacious and stylish accommodation for up to 6 adult guests, in 3 en-suite bedrooms. The Library has been inspired by famous explorers throughout history, and is filled with luxury, surprise and charm.
The Library has 3 bedrooms, the first bedroom contains a king-size bed, and the second and third bedrooms each contain 2 single beds that can be converted to a king-size bed. 2 expansive en-suite bedrooms, with bath and shower and double basins, are located on the ground floor of the main house. Both have huge, stacking doors that open onto a covered patio, overlooking the garden and large pool.
The Library’s unique upstairs living area is set in a carefully crafted barn-like expanse; a vast living area that opens up onto a deep floating deck and expansive views over the mountains and vineyards on the south-western side of the Franschhoek valley. Light pools in through windows on all 4 walls and through a large central skylight, positioned above the nautical-styled stairs.
This central staircase softly subdivides this upstairs living area by separating the dining area and kitchen from a comfortable, relaxed hub of snug sofas and chairs in front of an open, wood fireplace. A long double desk looks through windows back onto the Franschhoek Pass.
The modern kitchen is equipped with the finest Le Creuset cookware, as well as a gas hob, oven and dishwasher. The original dining table has a built-in light set underneath an onyx stone inset, creating an unusual and intriguing feature. Out on the deck is a second dining table, a built-in braai and benches with cushions and comfy marine beanbags. A guest loo, storeroom, laundry and 2 bedrooms are accessed from the passage on the ground floor. There is a separate pool cottage with an en-suite bedroom in the lush garden.
