Just an hour away from Johannesburg, you can enjoy an authentic French experience that is charming and welcoming.

You will be warmly welcomed as you walk through the doors and shown to your beautiful French-themed room. This Bed & Breakfast accommodation was built inside famous South African sculptor, Charles Gotthard’s old stone studio. You will find some of his work around the accommodation as well.

Upon arrival, you will immediately feel as though you have been transported to France. Our venue has beautiful sculptures and French décor and architecture throughout the accommodation, from murals to the beautiful archways.

The gardens of La Provence D’ Afrique run up to the Berg River and the forests, where you can enjoy a heartfelt breakfast for two or enjoy a romantic picnic for two.

Dinner is served in the Street Café just outside your room, where you can sit down by our quaint French tables and chairs and enjoy a wonderful meal.
