Angala Boutique Hotel Franschhoek


On our last day in Franschhoek, we popped in at Angala. My mother-in-law works there part-time in a managerial role and she wanted to show us the new pools that were being put in. Since the pools were still under construction, I didn't take any photos of them, but I did take a couple of photos of the proteas and a neat faucet fountain that seems to float in thin air. The scenery shot above was taken while we were driving on the private farm road to Angala. I'm also including some photos of a post that I did about a year ago during an art workshop weekend at this 5-star boutique hotel.

The Gardens at Angala


Just over a year ago, Samantha and I were treated to a fabulous art workshop weekend at Angala. Today I'm sharing my favorite photos of that weekend with you.

The Views at Angala


Samantha and I enjoyed our morning walks. We had vineyards on one side and forestry on the other, with mountains all around us.

The Art Workshop at Angala


Samantha and I participated in a fun and informative art workshop weekend at Angala. Leonie E. Brown was our instructor. Samantha painted a child portrait of herself and I did a landscape from one of my photos.

Our En Suite Bedroom at Angala



We took early morning showers outside and, surprisingly, we didn't feel the chill in the air under the warm water. We also loved everything about our room, including making coffee and tea in the mornings and evenings.


The Restaurant and Staff at Angala


I saved the best for last. Although, I have to admit, it's almost impossible to beat the idyllic setting with Angala's gorgeous views. But, the excellent care we received at Angala made it that much more enjoyable. The photos speak for themselves.












Thank you to the owners, the staff and my
mother-in-law for a wonderful weekend!

Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/07/happy-in...
Those are amazing paintings! Wow! I just got an instagram account and came over to see if you have one - it's not in your social sharing list at the top by the way. Hope you are having a lovely summer - er - winter!

Thanks, Erin! I've been thinking about you. How's it going with your Miri Attwater novels? Amanda and I would enjoy reviewing book 2 if you'd like to send us a digital copy. My Instagram link is just above my profile photo at the end of this post. I guess I should look for one to put up higher with the social share buttons. On another note, your snorkeling trip sounds exciting. That's a great idea to take your old android phone in a water proof case. I hope you have a fabulous time!

Thanks, Steph! It was really fun and informative. Having to do it with a grid, first with the picture upside down in black and white, made it challenging in a good way. It taught me all about accuracy. Thanks for hosting a great hop and I always enjoy seeing your photos!
