The Bolt Hole at Aloe Corner 
Property description
Situated in a shady garden, The Bolt Hole sleeps four in two large double rooms. There is a spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. The ensemble is completed with an outside entertainment area and small splash pool.
Living Quarters
Arriving at the Bolt Hole from the street, you are immediately captured by the uniqueness of the place. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area leads onto the sunny veranda at the entrance, and the secluded garden to the side. A charming cushioned window seat, with a backdrop of ivy, is set alongside the breakfast table. Two sofas face a large fireplace and wood-burning stove, making up the relaxed living area.
The kitchen is fully-equipped with a SMEG fridge, gas hob, extractor fan and oven, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, plenty of sharp knives and everything you need to prepare and enjoy home cooked meals, with a breakfast table that seats four, and a couple of bar stools at the kitchen counter.
The large, pool-side dining area comfortably seats 8 people under a canopy of mature vines is perfect for long, lazy alfresco meals. Wood and charcoal are supplied for the built in barbeque, or, as they say in South Africa, ‘braai’. Lounger chairs and a shady umbrella provide a relaxing spot for reading a book or falling asleep.
Bedrooms
The main bedroom suite is located on a mezzanine level, in the bamboo clad eaves of the house. This super-spacious open-plan room is fitted with a king-sized bed, plenty of cupboard space, a claw-foot bath and vanity, and skylights for letting in lots of natural light.
(Please note that the toilet for the main bedroom is located downstairs)
The second bedroom is found on the ground floor, with double doors opening out onto a private garden. With a queen-sized bed, and an ensuite safari-style shower and vanity, this cosy room is separated from the living area by a writing nook with a desk and cushioned window seat.
Most of Franschhoek’s restaurants are within walking distance of The Bolt Hole. Leave your car behind and amble through the village taking in the sights and sounds of this agricultural, historic, beautiful place and, above all, enjoy your time here.

Area activities
Franschhoek is a burgh in South Africa´s Western Cape with centuries-old vineyards and Cape Dutch ecclesiology. This small village nests at the bottom of a fertile valley in the heart of the Cape Winelands, surrounded by green hills and endless stern of grapevines. The village has an absorbing French past with magnificent wine possession and small French bakeries.
Although Franschhoek is small, it is huge on the culinary scene. The quint main road is lined with boutique and artisan restaurants that have been richly decorated with all kinds of awards. The village is rich in French history (Franschhoek means "French Corner" in Dutch).
Franschhoek offers over 25 major wine estates in the area surrounding the quint village, including some of South Africa’s most respected names in wine making. The valley is small and easy to explore, suffice to say you will not be short of options!
From walking the village, cycle or jumping on the Wine Tram, there is something for all to do during your stay.
Franschhoek will pretty soon be a special place close to your heart.
