About Tseringma

Life at Tseringma is an invitation to pause, breathe, and belong, surrounded by nature.

Wake up to birdsong and wide mountain skies. Wander into the garden to collect fresh eggs from the chickens or harvest vegetables for breakfast. Meander along the private walking trail, take a dip in the 20-metre lap pool, or enjoy a game of tennis before lunch. Afternoons stretch out across manicured lawns, with long, lazy meals under the trees or a quiet book in hand beneath their generous shade.


Set on five hectares of landscaped grounds, the estate is a place to unwind, entertain, and savour a slower pace in complete privacy, framed by breathtaking views of the Franschhoek valley.
