Maison d'Ail

23/09/2026

Apparently, there’s more to Franschhoek than w**e.🍷 (Who knew?)😉

We’ve been doing a little digging into the place we call home — and discovered elephants, ancient perfume bottles, a theatre with only 40 seats and a few stories hiding in places we’ve driven past far too many times.

Our new Maison d’Ail blog is up — a slightly curious look at Franschhoek as we head into the new season.

And perhaps that’s our favourite way to travel: don’t just visit somewhere. Get to know it.

Come for the w**e, the food and those mountains.
Stay long enough to discover the bits you weren’t expecting.

And when you’re done exploring?

Come home to Maison d’Ail.

And if Franschhoek is whispering your name this summer, we’d love to have you stay. 🤍

Go out. Get curious. Come home.

I live in Franschhoek.I live in Franschhoek. (Yes, for a whole month now — but I’m claiming it.) And apparently, I don’t know it nearly as well as I thought.

Current situation: elegant chaos. 😂

We would like to report that preparations for the new season at Maison d’Ail are progressing in a calm, orderly and highly sophisticated manner.

The stoep would like to report otherwise.🙄

But somewhere beneath all of this, our refreshed Maison is taking shape — and on 1 October, she will be fresh, finished and ready to welcome our new season guests.

Come what may.

The paint will be dry.
The furniture will be back where furniture belongs.
And the stoep will once again be a stoep.

We have eight days. What could possibly go wrong? 😂

Maison d’Ail
From humble roots, something wonderful grows.

MEET LOMA & JUDY

New eyes. (Loma) Maison know-how.(Judy!) 🌿

If you’re wondering who’s behind some of the goings-on at Maison, meet Loma & Judy.

Judy has been part of Maison for more than a decade — she knows the house, its rhythms and the little things that make guests feel at home.

Loma has recently joined Maison, bringing fresh eyes, plenty of curiosity and rather a lot of ideas.

Different perspectives. One shared intention: to make your time at Maison feel really special.

And with the sun out and the pool looking this inviting, we have another suggestion…

Get outside. Summer is coming. ☀️

Come find us in Franschhoek!

Go out. Get curious. Come home.

Something is changing at Maison… 🌿😉🧄

A little colour. A little pattern. A few fresh ideas. And plenty happening behind the scenes...

We’re looking at the things we already love with fresh eyes — moving, refreshing, reimagining and adding a few surprises along the way.

The countdown has officially started.

Planning a Franschhoek escape? Book your stay and come see what we’ve been up to.

We have a feeling you’re going to love what’s coming.

Go out. Get curious. Come home.

Nothing makes us smile more than happy guests! 😊 Here’s a lovely review from Ben.

"Lovely charming guesthouse in Franschhoek. Breakfast was great, staff were extremely friendly and host was very accommodating with a late check in. Ideal location to explore the jaw dropping Franschhoek valley and w**e lands."
